20110191812 | Video Download Mechanism for Transferring Large Data - A content delivery system stores large content as frames of video that can be served by content servers already optimized for streaming video. Instead of storing image tiles in separate files, the system treats each tile as a frame of a video and stores the tiles in a video format. This allows transfer of large data from a publisher to a content server by transferring a single file or a small handful of files (rather than thousands or millions of files). Web servers such as MICROSOFT Internet Information Server (IIS) include smooth streaming support that can return individual images as video frames as though the images were stored in separate files. Thus, the content delivery system provides easier management of large data for publishers while continuing to provide a smooth experience consuming the data for clients. | 08-04-2011 |

20110191346 | DYNAMICALLY-CREATED PYRAMID TO DELIVER CONTENT - Dynamically-created content may be rendered in the form of a virtual image pyramid, and tiles of the pyramid may be provided for display. In one example, a user interacts with a server-based application, and the application dynamically generates visual content to be shown to the user. Based on the application's interaction with the user, or based on some other type of state information, the application determines the appropriate magnification level at which to show content to the user, and also determines the particular spatial region of the content to show to the user. This content is rendered onto one or more tiles, and the one or more tiles are delivered to the user. In this way, tiles are created and may be rendered as if there were an image pyramid of the dynamically-created content. | 08-04-2011 |
