GRAPHICS SERVER AND METHOD FOR STREAMING RENDERED CONTENT VIA A REMOTE GRAPHICS PROCESSING SERVICE

摘要

A graphics server and method for streaming rendered content via a remote graphics rendering service. One embodiment of the graphics server includes: (1) a frame capturer configured to capture frames of rendered content at a frame rate, (2) an encoder configured to encode captured frames at the frame rate, and (3) a processor configured to cause encoded frames to be transmitted if the rendered content is at least partially changed, and cause a skip-frame message to be transmitted, the skip-frame message configured to cause the frame capturer to forgo capturing and the encoder to forgo encoding if the rendered content is unchanged.

1. A graphics server, comprising:
a frame capturer configured to capture frames of rendered content at a frame rate; an encoder configured to encode captured frames at said frame rate; and a processor configured to cause encoded frames to be transmitted if said rendered content is at least partially changed, and cause a skip-frame message to be transmitted, said skip-frame message configured to cause said frame capturer to forgo capturing and said encoder to forgo encoding if said rendered content is unchanged.
