System and method for providing interactive images
First Claim
1. A system for providing interactive images, comprising:
- a graphics application module operable to generate image content;
a server module having a processor operable to;
determine and manage available graphics resources used by the graphics application module to generate the image content;
establish a graphics session with one or more remote clients;
receive input parameters from the one or more remote clients, wherein the input parameters include specifying a number of graphics pipelines to be used by the graphics application module;
determine which input parameters to provide to the graphics application module for generation of the image content;
provide the image content to the one or more remote clients.

Abstract
A visual server system (10) includes a server (12) having a graphics application (20). The graphics application (20) generates image content and position information. The server (12) streams the image content and the position information for transport over a network link. A plurality of remote clients (14) can receive the image content and position information from the server (12) over the network link. Each of the plurality of remote clients (14) may provide input parameters to the graphics application (20). The input parameters can provide adjustments to the image content and position information provided to each of the plurality of remote clients (14). The graphics application (20) selects from among the input parameters provided by the plurality of remote clients (14) for adjusting the image content and the position information provided to the remote clients (14).
