Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system and method for propagating scene information to a renderer. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) an update request receiver operable to receive an update request from the renderer and determine a point from which the renderer is to be updated and (2) an update propagator associated with the update request receiver and operable to employ a graph containing scene information to construct a change list corresponding to the update request and transmit the change list toward the renderer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A system for propagating scene information to a renderer, comprising: an update request receiver operable to receive update requests from said renderer and determine a point from which said renderer is to be updated, wherein said update requests include requests for changes made to said scene information while said renderer was inactive; and an update propagator associated with said update request receiver and operable to employ a graph containing scene in…
