Video Frame Interpolation for Predictive Action Correction

The system performs preliminary actions by predicting and executing game actions before the player's input is fully processed. The prediction system analyzes current game state and anticipates player intentions, allowing the game to start executing predicted actions in advance. This preliminary execution compensates for network lag and processing delays, making the game feel more responsive to the player.

The patent introduces an intermediary correction mechanism that smoothly transitions between predicted actions and actual player-instructed actions. When a discrepancy is detected, the system uses interpolation to generate intermediate frames that bridge the gap between the predicted action state and the instructed action state. This intermediary approach prevents abrupt, unnatural corrections while maintaining the benefits of prediction.

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the predicted action is continuously monitored and compared against the actual player input. When the player's instructed action differs from the predicted action, the system detects this discrepancy and triggers a correction process. This feedback loop ensures that while predictions can execute ahead of time to improve responsiveness, the final action always aligns with the player's actual intentions, maintaining reliability.

The correction mechanism is dynamic rather than static. Instead of simply overwriting the predicted action with the instructed action, the system uses interpolation to dynamically generate intermediate frames that smoothly transition between the two states. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt the correction based on the specific discrepancy, maintaining game responsiveness while ensuring action accuracy.

The patent applies the concept of curvature to the correction process by using interpolation to create smooth, curved transitions between predicted and instructed actions. Instead of abrupt linear corrections, the system generates intermediate frames that follow a smooth trajectory, making the correction imperceptible to the player. This curved transition approach maintains both correction accuracy and gameplay immersion.

The interpolation process ensures continuity of the game action during correction. By generating intermediate frames that maintain the flow of motion and action, the system prevents disruptions in the gameplay experience. The useful action continues uninterrupted through the correction process, preserving immersion while achieving accurate action correction.
