Game Content Delivery via Quality-Based Segmentation

The patent segments the content update into two distinct packages: a high-quality content update containing only high-quality data files, and a standard content update containing remaining data files. This segmentation allows clients to selectively receive only the high-quality package if their hardware capabilities support it, thereby improving immersive experience while reducing bandwidth consumption for clients with limited capabilities.

The patent applies local quality by providing different quality levels of content to different clients based on their specific hardware capabilities. Clients with advanced hardware receive high-quality graphics and multimedia files, while clients with limited hardware receive standard quality files. This ensures optimal immersive experience for each client without unnecessarily consuming bandwidth for clients who cannot utilize high-quality content.

The patent implements a dynamic content delivery system where the server determines which type of content update (high-quality or standard) to send to each client based on real-time assessment of the client's hardware capabilities. The client connection request includes hardware information that the server uses to dynamically select the appropriate content package, ensuring that transmission time is optimized for each client's actual processing capabilities.

The patent changes the quality parameter of transmitted content based on client hardware capabilities. By identifying high-quality data files separately and creating distinct content update packages, the system can adjust the quality parameter of transmitted files to match client capabilities, thereby reducing transmission time for clients with insufficient hardware while maintaining high content quality for capable clients.

The patent extracts high-quality data files from the complete content update and places them in a separate high-quality content update package. This extraction allows clients to receive only the essential high-quality files without unnecessarily downloading the entire content update, thereby improving bandwidth efficiency while ensuring content completeness for the received package.

The patent segments the complete content update into two separate packages: high-quality content update containing only high-quality data files, and standard content update containing remaining files. This segmentation enables bandwidth-efficient transmission by allowing clients to receive only the package appropriate for their hardware capabilities, eliminating the need to transmit the entire content update to all clients.

The patent implements local quality by transmitting different quality levels of content updates to different clients based on their hardware capabilities. The server maintains both high-quality and standard content update packages and selectively transmits appropriate packages to each client, ensuring high overall content quality in the game while optimizing server bandwidth consumption by not transmitting high-quality updates to clients that cannot utilize them.

The patent segments content updates into high-quality and standard packages, allowing the server to transmit only the appropriate package type to each client. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by enabling the server to maintain high content quality standards while reducing total bandwidth consumption through selective transmission based on client capabilities.
