A system and a corresponding method of leveraging GPU resources to increase performance of the interact-able content browsing (ICB) service are to utilize the computation capacity of the GPU of the graphics card to share the computation load originally taken by the CPU. The raw images depicted by the browser application program executed in the server can be directly retrieved from the VRAM of the graphics card by the encoder inside the GPU to be further encoded and streamed before being forwarded directly to distant clients. Thereby, work load and bus bandwidth occupation on the CPU can be greatly reduced, the number of clients that can be served simultaneously by a single server can be increased, and the related power consumption can be substantially reduced.

A method for delivering media from a server to a client device over a network is disclosed. An Virtual-Reality (VR) scene application running on the server generates a virtual VR 3D environment containing 3D models. The server checks the status of each 3D model in a predetermined order, and then, only those 3D models which are not pre-stored in the client device will all be rendered by the server into a left eye frame and a right eye frame of 2D video stream. The server then sends to the client device the frames and meta data of the 3D models which are pre-stored in the client device via the network. The client device uses a combined VR frame of these frames as a background for rendering the 3D models which are pre-stored in the client device so as to generate a mixed VR frame of video stream for output.

System and method for delivering media over network

A method for delivering media from a server to a client device over a network is disclosed. An application running on the server generates a virtual 3D environment containing 3D models and sounds. The server checks the status of each 3D model or sound in a predetermined order, and then, only those 3D models and sounds which are not pre-stored in the client device will all be rendered by the server into a frame of 2D video stream with sound. The server then sends to the client device the frame and meta data of the 3D models and sounds which are pre-stored in the client device via the network. The client device uses the frame as a background for rendering the 3D models and sounds which are pre-stored in the client device so as to generate a mixed frame of video stream with sound for output.

The present invention discloses a method and a system for delivering graphics from a server to a client device over a network. An application running on the server generates a virtual 3D environment containing a plurality of 3D models. The server checks the status of each 3D models in a predetermined order, and then, only those 3D models which are not pre-stored in the client device will all be rendered and encoded by the server into a frame of 2D video stream. The server then sends to the client device the frame and meta data of the 3D models which are pre-stored in the client device via the network. The client device uses the frame as a background for rendering the 3D models which are pre-stored in the client device but not included within the frame, so as to generate a mixed frame for output.
