Wireless Gaming Adapter With Direct Cloud Input Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In cloud-based gaming environments, the intermediate hop through the player's information handling system increases lag between inputting gaming instructions and their execution, affecting the gaming experience due to unnecessary transmission steps.
Innovation Solution
A wireless gaming keyboard and mouse adapter system that directly transmits player input/output gaming instructions to a cloud-based server via a wireless network, using a USB-C adapter, network interface device, and antenna embedded in a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) face plate, bypassing the intermediate information handling system and utilizing higher frequency bands for reduced latency.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If gaming instructions are transmitted through the player's information handling system, then the system architecture is simple and compatible with existing infrastructure, but lag increases due to unnecessary transmission hops
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the network interface device from the traditional transmission path (player's information handling system) and places it directly in the gaming controller. This removes the intermediate hop through the information handling system, allowing gaming instructions to be transmitted directly to the cloud-based gaming server, thereby reducing lag and transmission time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the transmission path into direct components: gaming controller with embedded network interface device communicating directly with the cloud-based gaming server. This segmentation eliminates the intermediate information handling system, creating a more efficient transmission path that reduces latency while maintaining system compatibility.
2Speed
If standard wireless frequency bands are used, then compatibility with existing wireless infrastructure is maintained, but latency increases and throughput decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the wireless frequency parameter by implementing support for millimeter wave frequencies (24 GHz and above) in addition to traditional 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. This parameter change enables higher data transmission speeds and lower latency while maintaining backward compatibility with existing wireless infrastructure through multi-band support.

AI summary
A wireless gaming keyboard and mouse adapter system may comprise a wireless gaming keyboard and mouse adapter housing, forming a dongle operably coupled to an input device, within which an electrical circuit and an antenna are embedded within a plurality crystal polymer layers for housing a network interface device, a USB-C adapter mounting, and a controller, which may be electrically coupled via the electrical circuit, and where the network interface device is electrically coupled to the antenna. The controller may receive input/output gaming instructions for the gaming software application, via the USB-C adapter, from an input device for a remote information handling system executing the gaming software application, and may execute wireless gaming keyboard and mouse adapter system code instructions to direct the network interface device to transceive the input/output gaming instructions to a cloud-based gaming application server via the wireless network Access Point (AP) at frequencies above 24 GHz.
