Abstract:
1. A system for transmitting data over a network to at least one client having a latency time to initiate transmission of said data to the client, including: at least one anti-latency signal generator for generating a plurality of anti-latency data streams containing at least a leading portion of data for receipt by a client; and at least one interactive signal generator for generating a plurality of interactive data streams containing at least a remaining portion of said data for the client to merge into after receiving at least a portion of an anti-latency data stream, wherein: said data has a length R, and is fragmented into K segments each requiring a time T to transmit over the network; the interactive data streams include N interactive data streams, wherein each of the N interactive data streams is repeated continuously within said interactive data stream, and wherein each successive interactive data stream is staggered by an interactive time interval = the anti-latency data streams include M anti-latency data streams, wherein the anti-latency data streams 1 to M are generated such that an m the F
