Patent ID: 7480727

Claim:
A method for generating an interactive individual virtual reality using at least one action streaming client (ASC) and a network action streaming server (ASS), wherein the ASC and the ASS exchange data using interactive media streaming, the method comprising: establishing an action stream session comprising connection handling between the ASS and the ASC, and quality of service handling; adapting a network environment comprising the ASS, the ASC and at least one network element by demanding network resources and control information in the ASC and the network element; establishing a media streaming path from the ASS to the ASC and a control path for a user interaction from the ASC to the ASS; generating and transmitting an individual media stream to the ASC by embedding, at the ASS, the user interaction input at the ASC into a virtual reality generated at the ASS, and extracting and encoding a media stream corresponding to the virtual reality at the ASS using a virtual reality description compressed into a motion picture stream; and encoding and transmitting the user interaction to the ASS, and decoding and playing the individual media stream at the ASC.
