METHOD FOR USER SESSION TRANSITIONING AMONG STREAMING INTERACTIVE VIDEO SERVERS

摘要

A method for a hosting service center (210) by which a streaming interactive video user session is handed off from one streaming interactive video server (1521) to another (1522,1525) without noticeable disruption to the video stream or the user interactivity. When a compressed frame has more data than can be transmitted at a peak data rate in a single frame time, the compression unit (1530) ignores one or more of the subsequent frame(s) of the uncompressed streaming interactive video (1529).
