Abstract: A method for sharing gameplay of a video game, including: executing the video game by a server of a cloud gaming system, wherein executing the video game includes generating a first game state of the video game for said gameplay of the video game by a first user; streaming the gameplay over a network during said execution of the video game to enable the gameplay by the first user; receiving, during said gameplay, a command to share an interactive playable portion of the gameplay by the first user; responsive to the command, providing to a second user access to the interactive playable portion of the video game through a website interface, wherein the gameplay of the interactive playable portion by the second user generates a second game state of the video game that is generated during a different session from the generation of the first game state.

Abstract: A current frame in a sequence is encoded at a first bitrate to generate one or more encoded source frames. One or more previous frames in the sequence are encoded at a second bitrate that is lower than the first bitrate to generate one or more encoded FEC frames. The one or more encoded source frames and the one or more encoded FEC frames are packetized into one or more data packets.

Abstract: A controller device for user interactivity with a server of a cloud gaming system is provided, including the following: at least one input device that generates inputs for the server; wherein the controller device communicates directly to an access device for connection to a network that connects the controller device to the server without connecting to a client device; wherein the server receives and processes the inputs to render gameplay video that is transmitted over the network for rendering to a display device that is local to the controller device.

Abstract: Encoded information corresponding to the encoded source frames and the one or more previous frames is unpackaged from each data packet. Each data packet in the plurality contains encoded information corresponding to a source frame in a sequence encoded at a first bitrate and one or more previous frames in the sequence encoded as forward error correction (FEC) frames at a second bitrate that is equal to or lower than the first bitrate. The encoded source frames are decoded to generate corresponding decoded source frames. Encoded FEC frames that correspond to a given source frame for which encoded information is missing are decoded to generate corresponding decoded FEC frames. A reconstructed frame is generated corresponding to the given source frame using the one or more decoded FEC frames. The decoded source to frames and the reconstructed missing frame are stored in a memory and/or presented with a display.
