Multiplexing and de-multiplexing graphics streams

摘要

Described is the multiplexing and de-multiplexing of graphics streams, including by generating first higher-level graphics instructions from a first application program upon connecting to a client computer. A first identifier representing the first application program is associated with the first higher-level graphics instructions. Second higher-level graphics instructions are generated from a second application program, with a second identifier representing the second application program associated with the second higher-level graphics instructions. The first higher-level graphics instructions and the second higher-level graphics instructions are sent to the client computer. A server computer thus allows one or more application programs to be accessed by a client computer. The server includes a compositor that extracts higher-level graphics commands from one of the application programs, along with a remote display driver that packages the higher-level graphics commands for use by the client computer to generate graphics.
