Claim 18:
19. A computer-implemented method 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 is dependent on an analysis of the video data, the method comprising:
via the network, receiving the video stream;
via the network, forwarding the video stream to the receiver system;
sequentially decoding the video stream to obtain a series of decoded video data parts;
sequentially analyzing the decoded video data parts to obtain an analysis result;
sequentially generating 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 results, 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, providing the series of processing assist data as a processing assist data stream to the receiver system 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 providing the processing assist data for a video data part to the receiver system is performed after the receiver system has started decoding the video data part.
