Patent ID: 8754900

Claim:
A method of selecting graphics data of a server system for transmission, comprising: reading data from graphics memory of the server system; checking if the data is being read for the first time; checking if the data was written by a processor of the server system during graphics rendering, comprising checking if the data is available on a client system or present in a transmit buffer; placing the data in the transmit buffer if the data is being read for the first time as determined by the checking if the data is being read for the first time, and was not written by the processor of the server system during the graphics rendering as determined by the checking if the data was written by a processor of the server system during graphics rendering, wherein if the data is being read for the first time and was written by the processor of the server system during graphics rendering the data is not placed in the transmit buffer, and wherein the data includes a subset of graphics and command data, and wherein the graphics rendering comprises a process of producing a two-dimensional image based on three-dimensional scene data; and transmitting the data of the transmit buffer to the client system.
