Claim 12:
13. A processor system configured for assisting a receiver system in processing video data which is streamed as a video stream to the receiver system via a network, wherein the processing of the video data by the receiver system is dependent on an analysis of the video data, the processor system comprising:
a network interface to the network;
a processor configured to:
via the network interface, receive the video stream;
via the network interface, forward the video stream to the receiver system;
sequentially decode the video stream to obtain a series of decoded video data parts;
sequentially analyze the decoded video data parts;
sequentially generate processing assist data for the individual ones of the decoded video data parts to obtain a series of processing assist data comprising the analysis result or a processing instruction derived from the analysis result, wherein the processor is configured to include timing information in the processing assist data, the timing information being indicative of the part of the video stream or the decoded video data part from which the processing assist data was generated;
via the network interface, provide the series of processing assist data to the receiver system as a processing assist data stream to enable the receiver system to process the video data as decoded by the receiver system using the analysis result or the processing instruction provided by the processing assist data, wherein the processor system provides the processing assist data for a video data part to the receiver system after the receiver system has started decoding the video data part.
