  • Publication number: 20250159265
    Abstract: A cloud-based application streaming system [100] is implemented to stream an application to a client device [116]. The system includes a server [102] running the application on an application instance [104] configured to render video frames and determine drawing data [106] based on the application. The server then encodes the video frames and provides the video frames and drawing data to the client device as an application data stream [114]. In response to receiving the application data stream, the client device is configured to display at least a portion of the application data stream based on the drawing data. Additionally, the client device is configured to receive inputs and provide an input data stream [128] representing these inputs to the server. In response to the input data stream, the server modifies the application based on the input data stream and provides a modified application data stream to the client device.
