SIMULATOR FOR GENERATING AND TRANSMITTING A FLOW OF SIMULATION IMAGES ADAPTED FOR DISPLAY ON A PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICE

摘要

A simulator for generating and transmitting a flow of simulation images adapted for display on a portable computing device. The simulator comprises a processing unit. The processing unit executes a simulation and further executes at least one rendering function. Each rendering function generates a flow of simulation images adapted for display on the portable computing device, and transmits the flow of simulation images to the portable computing device. The flow of simulation images is representative of the execution of the simulation. In a particular aspect, the simulator comprises a web server for receiving interaction data from the portable computing device. The processing unit processes the interaction data and controls the execution of the simulation based on the processed interaction data. In another particular aspect, the web server is executed by a standalone server instead of being executed by the simulator.
