Distributed video and graphics rendering system

Abstract:

A receiving device receives from a base unit across a network an instruction stream that includes drawing commands for producing graphic frames of a user interface. The receiving device is connected to a display. The receiving device parses the instruction stream to determine the drawing commands and their arguments. The receiving device executes the drawing commands in a graphics engine of the receiving device to generate the graphic frames of the user interface. Executing includes performing rendering functions and interpolating coordinates for animation. The receiving device outputs the graphic frames of the user interface for display.
