Abstract: A video server is configured to provide streaming video to players of computer games over a computing network. The video server can provided video of different games to different players simultaneously. This is accomplished by rendering several video streams in parallel using a single GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). The output of the GPU is provided to graphics processing pipelines that are each associated with a specific client/player and are dynamically allocated as needed. A client qualifier may be used to assure that only clients capable of presenting the streaming video to a player at a minimum level of quality receive the video stream. Video frames provided by the video server optionally include overlays added to the output of the GPU. These overlays can include voice data received from another game player. These overlays may be used to prevent presentation of non-allowed input controls.

Abstract: A method and system for generating visualizations for display synchronized with related video content are provided. The system includes memory comprising geocoded data and a communications interface to transmit video content to a display device. A visualization circuitry in communication with the communications interface is configured to receive a video signal, develop secondary data to be displayed according to the received video signal, select a subset of the geocoded data according to the video signal, and generate a user interface for the display device to display the secondary data, a physical representation of the selected geocoded data and the video content together.
