The patent US12042726B2 describes a device and method for capturing and sharing gameplay events, referred to as "trigger clips." The device includes a memory for storing instructions and a processor that executes these instructions to detect specific events in a game that correspond to predefined triggers. Upon detecting such an event, the device stores a trigger clip that contains relevant gameplay content. The system also retrieves accessory game inputs, which are then added as a visual overlay to the trigger clip, ensuring that the overlay does not obscure the underlying video content. The device can prepare the trigger clip for sharing by determining recipients and a lifespan for the clip, allowing it to be shared over a communications network.

Additionally, the patent outlines various functionalities related to the management and sharing of trigger clips. This includes the ability to retrieve metadata associated with the clips, such as player information and historical statistics, and to format messages for sharing, including instant messages with attachments. The system can also store trigger clips in a library categorized by specific criteria, enabling users to search for and view clips based on their interests. The method incorporates machine learning to enhance the detection of gameplay events, further refining the user experience in capturing and sharing significant moments in gaming.
