Claim 12:
13. A system for prioritizing generation of image frames, comprising:
a first processor configured to receive a first user input from a client device via a computer network during a play of a game, wherein the first processor is configured to predict a second user input to follow the first user input, wherein the second input is predicted based on a game state during the play of the game;
a second processor coupled to the first processor, wherein the second processor is configured to generate, for display on the client device, one or more image frames of the game based on the second user input;
a third processor in communication with the first processor, wherein while the one or more image frames are being generated based on the second user input, the third processor is configured to determine whether a third user input is received via the computer network from the client device instead of the second user input that was predicted;
a fourth processor coupled to the third processor, wherein the second processor is configured to discontinue the generation of the one or more image frames based on the second user input and the fourth processor is configured to generate one or more image frames based on the third user input, wherein the one or more image frames are generated based on the third user input when it is determined that the third user input is received instead of the second user input, wherein the second processor is configured to discontinue the generation of the one or more image frames based on the second user input before the one or more image frames generated based on the second user input are sent, wherein the fourth processor is configured to facilitate sending the one or more image frames generated based on the third user input via the computer network to the client device for display on the client device.
