START-UP PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT FOR REMOTE COMPUTER APPLICATION

Abstract:

A method for remotely provisioning resources for running a computer application is described. The method includes: causing, using one or more processing units, an initialization of a user interactive video portion of a computer application, the computer application being executed using a remote server; determining a runtime of a static video portion of the computer application and a time required to complete initialization of the user interactive portion using information provided by the remote server; and delaying a start time of displaying the static video portion when the runtime of the static video portion is shorter than the time required to complete the initialization of the user interactive portion. A device that is capable of performing the above method and a server are also described.
