[0003] Streaming may refer to a technique for transmitting and / or receiving data about a screen to an external electronic device via the communication circuit. For example, the data may cause the external electronic device to display the screen (or a screen corresponding to the screen) on a display associated with the external electronic device. For example, the data may cause the external electronic device to output audio related to the screen through a speaker associated with the external electronic device. For example, the data may be generated or obtained within the electronic device using a software application for a game installed (or stored) within the electronic device.

[0014] Figure 3 is a simplified block diagram of an exemplary third electronic device.

[0015] Figure 4 illustrates examples of operations of the second electronic device and the third electronic device.

[0016] FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method executed within a third electronic device to request provision of a different graphics library upon failure of an attempted screen capture using a graphics library.

[0017] FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method executed within a third electronic device to attempt screen capture using another graphics library with lower priority upon failure of an attempted screen capture using a graphics library.

[0018] FIG. 1 illustrates an example of an environment including a first electronic device, a second electronic device, and a third electronic device.

[0019] Referring to FIG. 1, the first electronic device (110) may be usable to display a game-related screen streamed from an external electronic device (e.g., a third electronic device (130)). For example, the first electronic device (110) may use data received from the third electronic device (130) to display a screen corresponding to the data on a display associated with the first electronic device (110). For example, the display may be included within the first electronic device (110). For example, the display may include a display located outside the first electronic device (110) and connected to the first electronic device (110). However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0020] As a non-limiting example, the first electronic device (110) may include a portable electronic device, such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop computer, or the like. As a non-limiting example, the first electronic device (110) may include a fixed electronic device, such as a desktop computer, TV, or the like. For example, the first electronic device (110) may be described as a multifunctional device or a user device.

[0021] For example, the second electronic device (120) may be described as a device available for identifying a graphics library. For example, the second electronic device (120) may be described as a device that assists in identifying a graphics library running within the third electronic device (130) to stream a screen for a game from the third electronic device (130) to the first electronic device (110). For example, the second electronic device (120) may represent a device that provides information (or data) about a graphics library recommended for (or suitable for) the third electronic device (130).

[0022] For example, the second electronic device (120) may receive information about a game from the third electronic device (130). For example, the second electronic device (120) may receive, from the third electronic device (130), information about a game related to a screen to be streamed from the third electronic device (130) to the first electronic device (110). For example, the second electronic device (120) may identify a graphics library available for capturing the screen to be streamed from the third electronic device (130) to the first electronic device (110). For example, the second electronic device (120) may transmit information representing the graphics library to the third electronic device (130).

[0023] For example, the third electronic device (130) may be available to stream a screen related to the game to the first electronic device (110). For example, the third electronic device (130) may stream the screen to the first electronic device (110) by transmitting data regarding the screen provided from a software application for the game installed (or stored) in the third electronic device (130) to the first electronic device (110).

[0024] For example, the streaming may utilize graphics rendering. For example, the quality of streaming performed by utilizing the graphics rendering may be higher than the quality of streaming performed without utilizing the graphics rendering. For example, the quality of a screen streamed by utilizing the graphics rendering may be higher than the quality of a screen streamed without utilizing the graphics rendering. For example, the graphics rendering may be performed by utilizing a graphics library. For example, the third electronic device (130) may utilize a graphics library to stream a screen related to a game to the first electronic device (110). As a non-limiting example, the graphics library may include OpenGL (Open Graphics Library), D3D9 (Direct3D 9), D3D10 (Direct3D 10), D3D11 (Direct3D 11), and / or D3D12 (Direct3D 12).

[0025] For example, the third electronic device (130) may store a game launcher software application. For example, the third electronic device (130) may represent a device that at least temporarily stores the game launcher software application. For example, the game launcher software application may be described as game launcher software, launcher software, launcher application, game launcher, launcher program, or game launcher program.

[0026] For example, the game launcher software application may be available to execute a function for streaming a game. For example, the third electronic device (130) may receive an input for streaming the screen to the first electronic device (110) using the game launcher software application. For example, the game launcher software application may be the same as or different from the game software application.

[0027] Figure 2 is a simplified block diagram of an exemplary second electronic device.

[0028] Referring to FIG. 2, the second electronic device (120) may include a computer designed to provide server functionality. For example, the second electronic device (120) may include at least one processor (200), a communication circuit (210), and a memory (220).

[0029] At least one processor (200) may include a hardware component for processing data based on executing instructions. For example, the hardware component for processing data may include a central processing unit (CPU) (e.g., including processing circuitry). For example, the hardware component for processing data may include a graphics processing unit (GPU) (e.g., including processing circuitry).

[0030] At least one processor (200) may include one or more cores. For example, at least one processor (200) may have a multi-core processor structure, such as a dual core, quad core, or hexa core.

[0031] The memory (220) may include a hardware component for storing data and / or instructions input to and / or output from at least one processor (200). For example, the memory (220) may include a volatile memory such as a random-access memory (RAM) and / or a non-volatile memory such as a read-only memory (ROM). For example, the volatile memory may include at least one of a dynamic RAM (DRAM), a static RAM (SRAM), a cache RAM, and a pseudo SRAM (PSRAM). For example, the non-volatile memory may include at least one of a programmable ROM (PROM), an erasable PROM (EPROM), an electrically erasable PROM (EEPROM), a flash memory, a hard disk, a compact disc, and an embedded multimedia card (EMMC).

[0032] The communication circuit (210) may include hardware components for supporting transmission and / or reception of signals between the second electronic device (120) and the third electronic device (130). For example, the communication circuit (210) may include at least one of a modem, an antenna, and an optical / electronic (O / E) converter. For example, the communication circuit (210) may support transmission and / or reception of signals based on various types of protocols, such as Ethernet, a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), wireless fidelity (WiFi), Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy (BLE), zigbee, long term evolution (LTE), and 5G new radio (NR).

[0033] For example, at least one processor (200) may execute instructions stored in the memory (220) to identify a graphics library and transmit information to the third electronic device (130) that causes the third electronic device (130) to attempt to capture a screen for a game using the graphics library. For example, the instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor (200), may cause the second electronic device (120) to identify a graphics library and transmit information to the third electronic device (130) that causes the third electronic device (130) to attempt to capture a screen for a game using the graphics library. These operations will be described and illustrated in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6 .

[0034] Figure 3 is a simplified block diagram of an exemplary third electronic device.

[0035] Referring to FIG. 3, the third electronic device (130) may include at least one processor (300), a communication circuit (310), and a memory (320).

[0036] At least one processor (300) may include a hardware component for processing data based on executing instructions. For example, the hardware component for processing data may include a central processing unit (CPU) (e.g., including processing circuitry). For example, the hardware component for processing data may include a graphics processing unit (GPU) (e.g., including processing circuitry).

[0037] At least one processor (300) may include one or more cores. For example, at least one processor (300) may have a multi-core processor structure, such as a dual core, quad core, or hexa core.

[0038] The memory (320) may include a hardware component for storing data and / or instructions input to and / or output from at least one processor (300). For example, the memory (320) may include a volatile memory such as a random-access memory (RAM) and / or a non-volatile memory such as a read-only memory (ROM). For example, the volatile memory may include at least one of a dynamic RAM (DRAM), a static RAM (SRAM), a cache RAM, and a pseudo SRAM (PSRAM). For example, the non-volatile memory may include at least one of a programmable ROM (PROM), an erasable PROM (EPROM), an electrically erasable PROM (EEPROM), a flash memory, a hard disk, a compact disc, and an embedded multimedia card (EMMC).

[0039] The communication circuit (310) may include hardware components for supporting transmission and / or reception of signals between the third electronic device (130) and the first electronic device (110). For example, the communication circuit (310) may include hardware components for supporting transmission and / or reception of signals between the third electronic device (130) and the second electronic device (120). For example, the communication circuit (310) may include at least one of a modem, an antenna, and an optical / electronic (O / E) converter. For example, the communication circuit (310) may support transmission and / or reception of electrical signals based on various types of protocols, such as Ethernet, a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), wireless fidelity (WiFi), Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy (BLE), zigbee, long term evolution (LTE), and 5G new radio (NR).

[0040] For example, at least one processor (300) may execute instructions stored in the memory (320) to receive second information indicating an identified graphics library and to attempt to capture a screen using the graphics library indicated by the second information. For example, the instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor (300), may cause the third electronic device (130) to receive the second information indicating the identified graphics library via the communication circuit (310) and to attempt to capture a screen using the graphics library indicated by the second information. These operations are described and illustrated in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6 .

[0041] Figure 4 illustrates examples of operations of the second electronic device and the third electronic device.

[0042] Referring to FIG. 4, at operation 410, at least one processor (300) may receive an input for streaming a screen for a game acquired using a game software application within a memory (320) to a first electronic device (110). For example, the input may be received, identified, or recognized through a game launcher software application other than the game software application. For example, the other game launcher software application may be installed within the memory (320).

[0043] In operation 420, at least one processor (300) may, in response to the input, transmit first information to the second electronic device (120) via the communication circuit (310). For example, at least one processor (200) may receive the first information from the first electronic device (110) via the communication circuit (210).

[0044] For example, the first information may be described as information about a game related to a screen to be streamed from the third electronic device (130) to the first electronic device (110). For example, the first information may include information about a service provider providing the game. For example, the first information may include information about the type of the game. For example, the first information may include information about the load consumed to run the game. For example, the first information may include information about the version of the game. For example, the first information may include information about the client process name of the game. For example, the first information may include information about a graphics library used in the game. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0045] In operation 430, at least one processor (200) may identify a graphic library among a plurality of graphic libraries stored in a memory (220) of a second electronic device (120). For example, at least one processor (200) may identify whether the graphic library in a third electronic device (130) is available for capturing a screen for the game to be streamed to the first electronic device (110). For example, at least one processor (200) may identify the graphic library among the plurality of graphic libraries using the first information received through the communication circuit (210). For example, at least one processor (200) may identify, among the plurality of graphic libraries, a graphic library linked to the service provider that provides the game identified using the first information. As a non-limiting example, at least one processor (200) may identify graphic libraries among the plurality of graphic libraries using the first information.

[0046] For example, at least one processor (200) may identify the graphic library associated with the service provider and another graphic library among the plurality of graphic libraries stored in the memory (220). For example, at least one processor (200) may use statistical information to set different priorities for each of the graphic library and the other graphic library. As a non-limiting example, the statistical information (e.g., including data on preferences of a user of the third electronic device (130)) may be obtained through a game launcher software application in the third electronic device (130). For example, the statistical information may be stored in the third electronic device (130). For example, at least one processor (300) may transmit the statistical information to the second electronic device (120). For example, at least one processor (200) may receive the statistical information from the third electronic device (130).

[0047] For example, at least one processor (200) may use the statistical information to identify whether the graphics library was used for a type of game corresponding to the type of game. For example, at least one processor (200) may use the statistical information to identify whether the other graphics library was used for a type of game different from the type of game. For example, at least one processor (200) may determine a second priority of the other graphics library that is lower than the first priority of the graphics library based on identifying that the graphics library was used for a type of game corresponding to the type of game and identifying that the other graphics library was used for a type of game different from the type of game.

[0048] For example, among the plurality of graphic libraries, the remaining graphic libraries excluding the graphic library and the other graphic libraries may have a priority lower than the first priority and the second priority.

[0049] For example, at least one processor (200) can identify, using the statistical information, whether the graphics library was used for a game that consumes a second load corresponding to a first load consumed to run the game. For example, at least one processor (200) can identify, using the statistical information, whether the other graphics library was used for a game that consumes a third load different from the first load. For example, at least one processor (200) can determine the second priority of the other graphics library that is lower than the first priority of the graphics library based on identifying whether the graphics library was used for a game that consumes the second load corresponding to the first load consumed to run the game and identifying whether the other graphics library was used for a game that consumes the first load and the third load different from the first load.

[0050] For example, at least one processor (200) may determine the second priority of the other graphic library, which is lower than the first priority of the graphic library, based on user preferences obtained using the statistical information. For example, among the plurality of graphic libraries, the remaining graphic libraries excluding the graphic library and the other graphic libraries may have priorities lower than the first priority and the second priority.

[0051] For example, at least one processor (200) may identify the graphics library among the plurality of graphics libraries based on the connection with the service provider and the type of the game.

[0052] For example, at least one processor (200) may identify the graphics library among the plurality of graphics libraries based on the connection with the service provider and the load of data consumed for the game.

[0053] For example, at least one processor (200) may identify a graphic library among the plurality of graphic libraries based on the connection with the service provider and the user's preferences. For example, the user's preferences may include the user's preferences of the first electronic device (110) and / or the user's preferences of the third electronic device (130).

[0054] In operation 440, at least one processor (200) may transmit the second information to a third electronic device (130) via a communication circuit (210). For example, the second electronic device (120) may transmit the second information to the third electronic device (130) at preset intervals. For example, at least one processor (200) may transmit the second information to the third electronic device (130) based on preset changes.

[0055] For example, the second information may be described as information indicating an identified graphics library for capturing a screen for a game obtained using a game software application within a memory (320) within a third electronic device (130).

[0056] For example, the graphic library indicated by the second information may be one or more. For example, the graphic library indicated by the second information may include a graphic library associated with a service provider providing the game among a plurality of graphic libraries stored in the memory (320). For example, the graphic library indicated by the second information may include the graphic library and another graphic library.

[0057] For example, the graphic library indicated by the second information and the other graphic library may have different priorities. For example, the graphic library indicated by the second information may have the first priority. For example, the other graphic library indicated by the second information may have the second priority lower than the first priority. For example, the graphic library and the other graphic library may have different priorities to cause the third electronic device (130) to execute the attempt to capture the screen using the graphic library having the first priority before executing the attempt to capture the screen using the other graphic library having the second priority.

[0058] For example, the graphic libraries represented by the second information may include the graphic library having the first priority and one or more graphic libraries having priorities lower than the first priority.

[0059] For example, the second information may cause the third electronic device (130) to execute the capture attempt using the graphics library before executing the capture attempt using the graphics library and other graphics libraries within the third electronic device (130). These operations will be described and exemplified in more detail within the descriptions of operation 450.

[0060] Although FIG. 4 illustrates an example in which the second information is transmitted from the second electronic device (120) to the third electronic device (130) based on an input received for the third electronic device (130) in operation 410, this is merely exemplary. For example, the second information may be transmitted from the second electronic device (120) to the third electronic device (130) independently of the input received in operation 410. For example, the second information may be transmitted from the second electronic device (120) to the third electronic device (130) before the input is received as exemplified in the description of operation 410, based on a preference of a user of the third electronic device (130) identified by the second electronic device (120). For example, the third electronic device (130) may receive the second information from the second electronic device (120) via the communication circuit (310).

[0061] In operation 450, at least one processor (300) may select one of a plurality of graphic libraries stored in the memory (320) and attempt to capture a screen for the game using the selected one. For example, the plurality of graphic libraries stored in the memory (320) may include a graphic library indicated by the second information received by the at least one processor (300).

[0062] For example, at least one processor (300) may execute the attempt to capture the screen using the graphic library indicated by the second information. For example, at least one processor (300) may execute the attempt using the graphic library indicated by the second information before executing the attempt to capture the screen for the game to be streamed to the first electronic device (110) using the graphic library and the plurality of graphic libraries in a different memory (320).

[0063] For example, at least one processor (300) may execute the attempt to capture the screen by using the graphic libraries indicated by the second information in a predetermined order.

[0064] For example, at least one processor (300) may identify whether the graphics library is available for capturing a screen for the game before identifying whether each of the other graphics libraries in the memory (320) is available for capturing the screen. For example, at least one processor (300) may identify whether the graphics library is available for capturing the screen before identifying whether each of the other graphics libraries distinct from the graphics library among the graphics libraries is available for capturing the screen.

[0065] These operations are described and illustrated in more detail with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

[0066] FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method executed within a third electronic device to request provision of a different graphics library upon failure of an attempted screen capture using a graphics library.

[0067] Referring to FIG. 5, in operation 500, at least one processor (300) may attempt to capture a screen for a game to be streamed to a first electronic device (110) based on the second information received in operation 440. Operation 500 may correspond to operation 450 of FIG. 4. For example, at least one processor (300) may attempt to capture the screen using the graphics library indicated by the second information (e.g., the graphics library having the first priority).

[0068] In operation 510, at least one processor (300) may determine whether the attempt to capture the screen was successful. For example, at least one processor (300) may execute operation 520 based on determining that the capture was successful. For example, at least one processor (300) may execute operation 530 based on determining that the capture was unsuccessful.

[0069] For example, in operation 520, at least one processor (300) may stream the screen for the game to the first electronic device (110) using the graphics library on the condition that the capture of the screen using the graphics library is successful.

[0070] For example, in operation 530, at least one processor (300) may transmit a request to the second electronic device (120) to provide another graphic library through the communication circuit (310) based on identifying that the capture of the screen using the graphic library has failed. For example, at least one processor (300) may transmit a request to the second electronic device (120) to provide a graphic library (e.g., the other graphic library) having a lower priority (e.g., the second priority) than the priority (e.g., the first priority) of the graphic library, based on identifying that the capture of the screen using the graphic library has failed.

[0071] For example, at least one processor (300) may, based on identifying that the capture of the screen using the graphics library having the first priority has failed, attempt to capture the screen using the other graphics library having the second priority. For example, at least one processor (300) may, based on identifying that the capture of the screen using the other graphics library having the second priority has failed, transmit a request to the second electronic device (120) to provide a graphics library having a third priority lower than the first priority and the second priority.

[0072] For example, at least one processor (200) may receive a signal from the third electronic device (130) indicating a failure of the capture executed using the graphic library having the first priority and the graphic library having the second priority. For example, at least one processor (200) may, in response to the signal, identify the third graphic library. For example, the third graphic library may be associated with the service provider among a plurality of graphic libraries stored in the memory (220). For example, the third graphic library may be different from the graphic library having the first priority and the graphic library having the second priority. For example, the third graphic library may have a third priority that is lower than the first priority and the second priority. For example, at least one processor (200) may transmit information indicating the third graphic library to the third electronic device (130).

[0073] For example, at least one processor (300) may receive information indicating the third graphic library from the second electronic device (120). For example, at least one processor (300) may execute an attempt to capture the screen using the third graphic library. For example, at least one processor (300) may execute an attempt to capture the screen using graphic libraries within a memory (320) other than the graphic library having the first priority, the graphic library having the second priority, and the graphic library having the third priority, before executing the attempt to capture the screen using the third graphic library having the third priority.

[0074] For example, at least one processor (300) may stream the screen for the game to the first electronic device (110) using the third graphics library based on identifying that the capture of the screen attempted using the third graphics library was successful. For example, at least one processor (300) may transmit a request to the second electronic device (120) to provide a graphics library having a lower priority than the third priority based on identifying that the capture of the screen attempted using the third graphics library was unsuccessful.

[0075] For example, at least one processor (300) may transmit a request to the second electronic device (120) to provide a graphics library having a lower priority than at least one graphics library indicated in the information received from the second electronic device (120) until the processor determines that the attempted capture of the screen was successful using information indicating a graphics library received from the second electronic device (120). For example, the processor (300) may stream the screen for the game to the first electronic device (110) using the graphics library that succeeded in the capture based on determining that the attempted capture of the screen was successful using information indicating a graphics library received from the second electronic device (120).

[0076] For example, at least one processor (300) may stop transmitting the request to provide the graphics library based on identifying that the attempted capture of the screen was successful using information representing the graphics library received from the second electronic device (120).

[0077] FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method executed within a third electronic device to attempt screen capture using another graphics library with lower priority upon failure of an attempted screen capture using a graphics library.

[0078] Referring to FIG. 6, in operation 600, at least one processor (300) may attempt to capture a screen for a game to be streamed to a first electronic device (110) based on the second information received in operation 440. Operation 600 may correspond to operation 450 of FIG. 4. For example, at least one processor (300) may attempt to capture the screen using the graphics library indicated by the second information (e.g., the graphics library having the first priority).

[0079] In operation 610, at least one processor (300) may determine whether the attempt to capture the screen was successful. For example, at least one processor (300) may execute operation 620 based on determining that the capture was successful. For example, at least one processor (300) may execute operation 630 based on determining that the capture was unsuccessful.

[0080] For example, in operation 620, at least one processor (300) may stream the screen for the game to the first electronic device (110) using the graphics library on the condition that the capture of the screen using the graphics library is successful.

[0081] For example, in operation 630, at least one processor (300) may attempt to capture the screen using another graphics library having a lower priority than that of the graphics library, under the condition that capturing the screen using the graphics library fails.

[0082] For example, at least one processor (300) may, based on identifying that the capture of the screen using the graphics library having the first priority has failed, attempt to capture the screen using the other graphics library having the second priority (further indicated by the second information). For example, the attempt to capture the screen may be performed before attempting to capture the screen using the remaining graphics libraries, excluding the graphics library having the second priority, among the plurality of graphics libraries in the memory (320).

[0083] For example, at least one processor (300) may stream the screen for the game to the first electronic device (110) using the other graphics library based on identifying that the capture of the screen attempted using the other graphics library was successful.

[0084] For example, at least one processor (300) may, based on identifying that the attempted capture of the screen using the other graphics library has failed, cause the attempted capture of the screen to be performed using the remaining graphics libraries in a predetermined order. For example, the predetermined order may include an order from a high priority graphics library to a low priority graphics library.

[0085] For example, at least one processor (300) may, while executing the capture attempt of the screen using the remaining graphic libraries according to the predetermined order, identify that the capture of the screen attempted using another graphic library is successful. For example, the another graphic library may include at least one graphic library from among the remaining graphic libraries. For example, at least one processor (300) may, based on identifying that the capture of the screen attempted using the another graphic library is successful, terminate or stop executing the capture attempt of the screen using the remaining graphic libraries according to the predetermined order.

[0086] For example, at least one processor (300) may stream the screen for the game to the first electronic device (110) using another graphics library based on identifying that the capture of the screen attempted using another graphics library is successful. For example, through the above-exemplified operations, the second electronic device (120) and the third electronic device (130) may enhance the responsiveness of the streaming of the screen for the game provided from the third electronic device (130) to the first electronic device (110). For example, through the above-exemplified operations, the second electronic device (120) and the third electronic device (130) may enhance the quality of service for streaming the screen for the game.
