Patent Images

1. An apparatus for generating and communicating encoded images, comprising:

  • one or more graphics processors for rendering, for each display of a plurality of displays, a plurality of images from a plurality of drawing command sets;

    one or more hardware based encoders that generate an encoding of each image of the plurality of images, wherein each encoding comprises indications of changed and unchanged portions of a corresponding image of the plurality of images;

    at least one storage device storing processor-executable instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, coupled to the one or more graphics processors and the one or more hardware based encoders, performs a method comprising;

    generating each drawing command set of the plurality of drawing commands sets by executing, on the one or more processors, a separate virtual machine (VM) of a plurality of VMs in response to Human Input Device (HID) events received via an Internet Protocol (IP) network from a network location associated with a corresponding display of the plurality of displays, wherein the plurality of images represent application output of a remote desktop session; and

    scheduling generation of the encoding of each image of the plurality of images based on completion of(i) a rendering of an associated image from the plurality of images and(ii) a transmitting at an available IP network bandwidth, via the IP network, of an encoding of a previously associated image from the plurality of images, wherein scheduling generation of a first encoding of the plurality of images increases a use of an image communication resource in response to an input event associated with the first encoding and scheduling generation of the first encoding comprises dropping at least one image rendered from the plurality of drawing commands sets.
