Drawing processor, drawing processing system, and drawing processing method

摘要

Disclosed herein is a drawing processing apparatus including: a drawing library section adapted to transmit a drawing command via a network; and a data transmission management section adapted to transmit reusable data, used to execute the drawing command, via the network at a time different from when the drawing command is transmitted. Also disclosed herein is a drawing processing apparatus including: a data reception management section adapted to receive reusable data, used to execute a drawing command, via a network at a time different from when the drawing command is received; and a drawing library section adapted to set the reusable data, received by the data reception management section, in a graphics processor as a resource and adapted to receive the drawing command via the network and supply the drawing command to the graphics processor.

1. A drawing processing apparatus comprising:
a drawing library section of a server that transmits a drawing command to a drawing library of a client via a network; and a data transmission management section of said server that transmits reusable data, used to execute the drawing command, to said client via the network at a time different from when the drawing command is transmitted, wherein: (i) said reusable data comprises texture and model data which is stored in a cache of said client drawing processing apparatus, (ii) the server generates and transmits a temporary resource ID for the reusable data to the client, which is used to identify a resource that is necessary for execution of the drawing command by the client, (iii) the client maps a real resource ID, used to identify a resource actually assigned by the client, and the temporary resource ID to one another, and (iv) the reusable data includes a unique data ID that is mapped to the temporary and real resource ID's, and said reusable data ID is used to search for the temporary and real resource ID's by the client, wherein the data transmission management section transmits one of a first type and a second type of the reusable data to said client, said first type comprising low-quality texture and model data and said second type comprising high-quality texture and model data, wherein selection of one of said first and second type of reusable data for transmission is performed in accordance with an available bandwidth of the network or the processing capability of the client.
