Sony files patent for technology that will predict player button presses using AI

Sony has filed a patent for a technology called "TIMED INPUT/ACTION RELEASE", which aims to reduce delays in the gameplay by predicting the next player's actions.

Here's What We Know

This innovation can use artificial intelligence to determine which button the user will press, potentially reducing reaction time.

According to Tech4Gamers, the new technology involves the use of a camera aimed at the player's fingers, which will analyse movements and reduce the time for entering commands using machine learning. Sony noted that the delay between the player's action and system processing can lead to undesirable consequences in the game. Therefore, the new patent may be a solution to this problem.

Besides, another possibility is to integrate the sensor directly into the controller button. This shows that Sony is actively exploring ways to improve its products with AI.

Although it is worth noting that not all patents are implemented in products and remain at the level of ideas. Time will tell whether this innovation will become part of the next generation of consoles.
