Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method by which a streaming interactive video user session is handed off from one streaming interactive video server to another without noticeable disruption to the video stream or the user interactivity.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A method comprising: receiving a request by a hosting service center from a user to join a multiplayer interactive game already in progress; determining whether the user may join the multiplayer interactive game based on a set of criteria that includes a latency of a communication channel associated with the user; loading the multiplayer interactive game onto a server; instructing an inbound routing network to transfer control signals received from the user to a game server hosting the multiplayer interactive game; synchronizing compression of the video associated with the multiplayer interactive game as between the user and other players already playing the game.
