Microsoft has filed a patent that uses machine learning to regulate fan speeds and potentially improve cooling inside Xbox systems.
Microsoft has recently filed a patent for a cooling system that uses machine learning to manage fan control in order to better cool consoles. Keeping the temperatures inside consoles to a manageable level has plagued manufacturers for decades with the most infamous example being Microsoft’s own Red Ring of Death serving as one of the biggest talking points in the early 7th console generation. This new patent points towards the tech giant wanting to take cooling seriously.
Machine learning is a concept that appears to be given more support by the tech giant recently, as this latest patent comes soon after another for an algorithm that tracks and influences player emotions. Microsoft’s intent with this pattern shows a desire to curate the player experience by regulating hardware and software to fit with the patterns exhibited over time.
The patent itself details at least one temperature sensor, a fan, and a fan tachometer being used to execute an application and collect temperature data from the sensors along with fan speed data received by the tachometer. This data would then be used to generate a fan control signal that at least partially…
