System, method and computer program product for generating remote views in a virtual mobile device platform using efficient color space conversion and frame encoding

A method for efficient frame processing, the method being implemented by one or more processors configured to execute one or more computer program instructions, the method comprising:

• obtaining a frame of display data;
• identifying, for each macroblock of the frame of display data, whether the macroblock is unchanged;
• generating a converted frame by performing color space conversion on the frame of display data based on the identification of the macroblock;
• and
• generating an encoded frame by encoding the converted frame,
• wherein performing the color space conversion on the frame of display data based on the identification of the macroblock includes performing the color space conversion on at least one macroblock of the frame not identified as unchanged and not performing the color space conversion on at least one other macroblock of the frame identified as unchanged.

One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, effectuate operations comprising:

• obtaining a frame of display data;
• identifying, for each macroblock of the frame of display data, whether the macroblock is unchanged;
• generating a converted frame by performing color space conversion on the frame of display data based on the identification of the macroblock;
• and
• generating an encoded frame by encoding the converted frame,
• wherein performing the color space conversion on the frame of display data based on the identification of the macroblock includes performing the color space conversion on at least one macroblock of the frame not identified as unchanged and not performing the color space conversion on at least one other macroblock of the frame identified as unchanged.
