DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING FOR INTERACTIVE VIDEO
First Claim
1. A system for processing interactive software supporting video, the system comprising:
- a computer configured toexecute an interactive process,receive a user input in the context of the interactive process,send, from the computer to a remote console via a computer network, a control signal corresponding to the user input,receive, via the computer network, a video response in a polygon format,render the video response from the polygon format, thereby generating a bit map, anddisplay the bit map generated from the video stream response; and
a remote console configured toreceive the control signal via the computer network,interpret the control signal, andsend the video stream response in the polygon format to the computer via the computer network.

Abstract
Processing interactive software supporting video, including a first computer configured to execute an interactive process and display a video stream response, where the interactive process responds to an external input by generating a control signal and sending the control signal, a remote console configured to receive the control signal and send the video stream response where the video stream response is computed by the remote console, and a hardware interface configured to convert the control signal from a first format to a second format and to convert the video stream response from the second format to the first format where the first computer sends the control signal and receives the video stream response in the first format and where the remote console receives the control signal and sends the video stream response in the second format.

2. A method for processing interactive software supporting video, the method comprising:
-
executing an interactive process at a computer; receiving a user input in the context of the interactive process; sending, from the computer to a remote console via a computer network, a control signal corresponding to the user input, thereby causing the remote console to interpret the control signal, and send a video stream response in a polygon format to the computer via the computer network; receiving the video response via the computer network; rendering the video response from the polygon format, thereby generating a bit map; and displaying the bit map generated from the video stream response.
