System for collaborative conferencing using streaming interactive video. RU patent 2504908.

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: specific hosting service server centre receives transmission from a client device over a packet network, the transmission including a request to reproduce a selected video game twitch or application. The selected video game twitch or application is executed in the specific hosting service server centre on one or more servers, thereby generating uncompressed streaming interactive video. The uncompressed streaming interactive video is compressed in said specific server centre to generate low-latency compressed streaming interactive video. The low-latency compressed streaming interactive video is transmitted to the client device over the packet network. The low-latency compressed streaming interactive video is, at worst, compressed with to and fro transmission latency of 90 ms, read from reception of user input at the client device to the response at a display connected to the client device, at a transmission distance of 1500 miles or less.

EFFECT: shorter latency period for receiving streaming interactive video.
