Abstract

A method for remote-hosted video effects includes rendering an application frame buffer in a hosting service that is streaming interactive video. Only a portion of the application frame buffer is subsequently displayed on a local device.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method comprising:
 rendering an application frame buffer in a hosting service that is streaming interactive video; and   displaying only a portion of the application frame buffer on a local device.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the hosting service only streams the portion displayed on the local device. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the hosting service streams the application frame buffer in its entirety, the local device cropping the application frame buffer, with the portion being displayed in a video window on the local device. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3  wherein the local device sends a first control input to the hosting service regarding the cropping of the video window. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4  wherein the local device sends a second control input to the hosting service regarding positioning of the video window. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5  wherein the local device sends a third control input to the hosting service regarding scaling of the video window. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6  wherein the first, second, and third control inputs are generated responsive commands of a touch screen user interface. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7  wherein the commands include a dragging command. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7  wherein the commands include a swiping command. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 7  wherein the commands include a pinching command. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 7  wherein the commands include a widening command. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the application comprises a web browser. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the hosting service and the local device are connected to the Internet, the hosting service having a higher bandwidth connection to the Internet as compared to the local device. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the hosting service and the local device are connected to the Internet, the hosting service having a lower latency connection to the Internet as compared to the local device.
