    Abstract: A game controller is configured to selectively pair with a companion device using a first communication protocol and one or more gaming systems using a second communication protocol. The game controller is configured to send a pairing request to the companion device using the first communication protocol based on companion-device pairing data stored in a storage subsystem of the game controller. The game controller is configured to send a pairing request to a last-paired gaming system with which the game controller last paired using the second communication protocol based on gaming-system pairing data stored in the storage subsystem. Responsive to the game controller being unable to pair with the last-paired gaming system and while the game controller is paired with the companion device, the game controller is configured to send an error notification to the companion device using the first communication protocol.

    Abstract: A method disclosed herein provides for receiving, at a user device, a media stream including frames of a first resolution generated by a graphics-rendering application and utilizing one or more weight matrices pre-trained in association with the graphics-rendering application to locally upscale each received frame of the media stream at the user device to a second resolution greater than the first resolution. Local upscaling of the media stream may be performed “on the fly,” such as with respect to individual content streams (e.g., a game) or segments of content streams (e.g., a scene within a game).

    Abstract: A system gives application developers and other users access to the real-time power consumption data of the hardware they are running on. In some embodiments, the system can provide an application programming interface (API). The system also provides a way for users to declare what is their maximum power limit they want to stay under. This could be combined as an OS setting that users, or cloud hardware managers, can enable, which will tell the application it is running in this power-capped mode. The application will then use the real-time power consumption data to see how close it is consuming to the specified cap. When the real-time power consumption data meets one or more criteria with respect to a specified cap, the application can dynamically adjust one or more operations to keep the power consumption of itself under the specified cap.

    Abstract: A method for a computing device. The method includes periodically transmitting a beaconing data packet via a first wireless communication protocol. The first wireless communication protocol supports low bandwidth, one-directional communication. The computing device receives a request to pair from a peripheral computing device via a second wireless communication protocol. The second wireless communication protocol supports higher bandwidth, two-directional communication. The request to pair includes information that was included in the beaconing data packet. Responsive to receiving the request to pair, the computing device initiates pairing with the peripheral computing device via the second wireless communication protocol.
