SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROCEDURAL VISIBILITY FOR INTERACTIVE AND BROADCAST STREAMING OF ENTERTAINMENT, ADVERTISING, AND TACTICAL 3D GRAPHICAL INFORMATION USING A VISIBILITY EVENT CODEC
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising steps of:
- a) determining, using a processor, a graphical object visible from a view region in a computer generated modeled environment displayed on a client computing device;
b) determining, using the processor, one or more parameters defining the graphical object visible from the view region; and
c) transmitting the determined one or more parameters to the client computing device that uses the determined one or more parameters to generate and display the graphical object in the computer generated modeled environment.

Abstract
A system includes a server and a client computer device. The server determines a graphical object visible from a view region and determines one or more parameters defining the graphical object visible from the view region. The server further transmits the determined one or more parameters to a client computing device. The client computing device includes a processor to generate the graphical object using the determined one or more parameters received from the server. The client computing device further includes a display device to display the generated graphical object within a computer generated modeled environment.

11. A computer-implemented method conducted on a client computing device, the method comprising steps of:
-
a) displaying a first set of graphics information visible from a first view region, the first set of graphics information including graphics information representing objects in a computer generated modeled environment; b) receiving, from a server, a second set of graphics information upon determination that at least one predetermined condition is satisfied, the second graphics information visible from the second view region and not visible from the first view region, the second set of graphics information including graphics information representing advertising information; c) displaying the second set of graphics information representing the advertising information; d) determining an active period for the displayed advertising information, the displayed advertising information provided with a visual indication during the active period, the displayed advertising information selectable only during the active period; and e) transmitting a selection result of the displayed advertising information to the server. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A system comprising:
-
a server configured to; determine a graphical object visible from a view region, determine one or more parameters defining the graphical object visible from the view region, and transmit the determined one or more parameters to a client computing device; and the client computing device including; a processor configured to generate the graphical object using the determined one or more parameters received from the server, and a display device to display the generated graphical object within a computer generated modeled environment. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25)

26. A system comprising:
-
a server including a memory to store a first set of graphics information visible from a first view region and a second set of graphics information visible from a second view region and not visible from the first view region, the first set of graphics information including graphics information representing objects in a computer generated modeled environment, the second set of graphics information including graphics information representing advertising information; and a client computing device including a processor configured to determine a likelihood that a user viewpoint changes from the first view region to the second region, a display device configured to display, upon determination that the likelihood is above a predetermined threshold, the second the second set of graphics information including the advertising information received from the server, the processor further configured to determine an active period for the displayed advertising information, the displayed advertising information selectable only during the active period, the display device further configured to display a visual indication during the active period, and the client computing device further configured to transmit a selection result of the displayed advertising information to the server. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29)

30. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer executable instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a processor in a server, causes the server to execute a method comprising steps of:
-
a) determining, using a processor, a graphical object visible from a view region in a computer generated modeled environment displayed on a client computing device; b) determining, using the processor, one or more parameters defining the graphical object visible from the view region; and c) transmitting the determined one or more parameters to the client computing device that uses the determined one or more parameters to generate and display the graphical object in the computer generated modeled environment.

31. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer executable instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a processor in a server, causes the server to execute a method comprising steps of:
-
a) displaying a first set of graphics information visible from a first view region, the first set of graphics information including graphics information representing objects in a computer generated modeled environment; b) receiving, from a server, a second set of graphics information upon determination that at least one predetermined condition is satisfied, the second graphics information visible from the second view region and not visible from the first view region, the second set of graphics information including graphics information representing advertising information; and c) displaying the second set of graphics information representing the advertising information; d) determining an active period for the displayed advertising information, the displayed advertising information provided with a visual indication during the active period, the displayed advertising information selectable only during the active period; and e) transmitting a selection result of the displayed advertising information to the server. - View Dependent Claims (32)
