20160023109	Save Game Load Time Reduction for Cloud Gaming - A cloud gaming system is disclosed. One example includes a game console that is configured to execute video games. The game console provides an interface for a remote client device to interface with the game console and request that games be played. The game console being located in a first data center. The system further includes a storage server connected to the game console over a network connection in the first data center. A save data server is also provided and is located in a second data center. A data selection logic of the game console is provided. The data selection logic is configured to retrieve save data from the save data server and cache the save data to a save data disk of the game console. The data selection logic is configured to automatically retrieve the save data upon detecting a session initiation for a user account associated with the remote client device. The data selection logic is configured to retrieve the save data that has a likelihood of being used during the session. In one example, the likelihood of being used is determined based on historical game play as associated with the user account.	01-28-2016

20140101341	METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DECREASING PRESENTATION LATENCY - Aspects of the present disclosure describe automatically changing an output mode of an output device from a first output mode to a latency reduction mode. An initiation signal and the output data may be received from a client device platform or a signal distributor. Upon receiving the initiation signal, the output device may change the output mode from the first output mode to the latency reduction mode. Thereafter, the output device may receive an end latency reduction mode signal. The output device may then revert back to the first output mode. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.	04-10-2014

20150178018	MASS STORAGE VIRTUALIZATION FOR CLOUD COMPUTING - Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for virtualizing mass storage using an interface card, or other special hardware unit, operatively coupled to a host system. In various implementations, the interface device and host system may collectively emulate a mass storage device for another “terminal” computing system in a manner that is transparent to the terminal system. Moreover, in various implementations, a mass storage device may be emulated in a manner that is transparent to the terminal system, without requiring modifications to the terminal platform's hardware or software architecture.	06-25-2015
20150181084	VIDEO LATENCY REDUCTION - Aspects of the present disclosure relate to video capture. In particular, aspects of the present related to systems and methods for reducing latency in the capture of video frames. Various implementations of the present disclosure may add extra pixels to a video frame so that visible pixels within each frame may be transferred faster through a video interface. In particular, adding extra pixels to a frame may cause an increase in a pixel clock that is generated based on the total number of pixels within each frame. As a result of the corresponding decrease in the time needed to transfer visible pixels in each frame, latency due to delay in a video capture process may be reduced.	06-25-2015
20150264298	VIDEO FRAME RATE COMPENSATION THROUGH ADJUSTMENT OF VERTICAL BLANKING - Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods configured to adjust the timing of frame scanout in response to fluctuations in the source frame rate of graphics content rendered by a processing unit. In certain implementations, a vertical blanking interval generated during scanout of frames from a frame buffer may be adjusted in response to detected changes in the frame rate at which the source content is generated. In certain implementations, rendered graphics may be streamed over a network for display in real-time on a remote device, and the scanout out of frames may be adjusted in order to better match the rate of compression and streaming to a variable frame rate of the source content	09-17-2015
