Graphics service provider and method for streaming rendered content over a remote graphics processing service

摘要

A graphics service provider and method for streaming rendered content over a remote graphics generation service. An embodiment of the graphics service provider includes: (1) a block capture unit configured to capture blocks of rendered content at a block rate, (2) an encoder configured to encode captured blocks at the block rate, and (3) one A processor configured to cause coded blocks to be transmitted when the rendered content is at least partially changed and cause a block skip message to be transmitted, wherein the block skip message is formed, the block catching unit to refrain from capturing and to cause the encoder to refrain from coding if the rendered content is unchanged.
