Abstract
An invention is disclosed for efficiently processing and transmitting graphics data in a remote desktop environment. In embodiments of the invention, a connection is established between a remote desktop server computer and a remote desktop client computer. The remote desktop server computer may process graphics data representative of a remote user desktop. The remote desktop server computer may divide the remote desktop screen in data regions and portions. The remote desktop server computer may then encode and transmit each region to the remote desktop client computer at a certain quality that may be adjusted progressively across the screen frames. The remote desktop server computer may also stop encoding and transmitting the portions of the data region that would not be visible to a user when the region is rendered on a display. The remote desktop user experiences an image quality gradually improving with each frame containing information about the image.
