Server-side gaming method and system for the delivery of remotely-rendered content comprising impression content

A system for monitoring the delivery of remotely-rendered content, the system comprising:

• a provisioning server arranged to generate and manage the impression content;
• a remote server arranged to generate a plurality of frames of remotely-rendered content, wherein the plurality of frames of remotely-rendered content comprises gaming content and the impression content;
• an application programming interface, API, for sending and receiving data between the user device and the remote server;
• and
• a user device arranged to receive the remotely-rendered content;
• wherein the remote server comprises:
• an input module for obtaining received frame information from the user device using the API, wherein the received frame information represents the frames of remotely-rendered content received by the user device;
• a determination module for determining whether the received frame information comprises data relating to a new frame of remotely-rendered content sent to the user device, the new frame comprising new said gaming content and new said impression content;
• and
• a transmission module for sending from the remote server to the provisioning server an indication that the new impression content has been received at the user device, when the determination indicates that the received frame information comprises information relating to the new frame of remotely-rendered content, and when the indication comprises data associated with a predetermined number of the plurality of frames of remotely-rendered content transmitted to the user device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of computer-readable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by at least one processor are arranged to monitor the delivery of remotely-rendered content to a user device, the framework comprising:

• a provisioning server arranged to generate and manage impression content;
• a remote server arranged to generate a plurality of frames of remotely-rendered content, wherein the plurality of frames of remotely-rendered content comprises gaming content and the impression content;
• and
• an application programming interface, API, for sending and receiving data between the user device and the remote server,
• wherein the instructions, when executed cause the at least one processor to:
• obtain received frame information from the user device using the API, wherein the received frame information represents the frames of remotely-rendered content received by the user device;
• determine whether the received frame information comprises data relating to a new frame of remotely-rendered content sent to the user device, the new frame comprising new said gaming content and new said impression content;
• and
• when the determination indicates that the received frame information comprises information relating to the new frame of remotely-rendered content, send from the remote server to the provisioning server an indication that the new impression content has been received at the user device, the indication comprising data associated with a predetermined number of the plurality of frames of remotely-rendered content transmitted to the user device.
