System and method for redirecting audio and video data streams in a display-server computing system

A system operative on a data communications network to operate on an audio/video data of a first format of original info data, original header data, decoder data, original header data, decoder data, original header data and decoder data, the system includes an audio/video server computer communicatively connected to the network, the audio/video server computer configured to communicate the audio/video data of the first format over the network responsive to a need request that includes an identifier of the audio/video data and a network address of the audio/video server computer, comprising:

• a server computer communicatively connected to the network, the server computer includes an application unit running an application program communicatively connected to the network, the application unit requires a reformatted audio/video data of a second format of reformatted info data, reformatted header data, reformatted cookie, reformatted length, reformatted header data, reformatted cookie, reformatted length, reformatted header data, reformatted cookie and reformatted length, wherein the original info data and the original header data are directly copied into the reformatted info data and the reformatted header data, and the decoder data is converted into the reformatted cookie and reformatted length, to run the application program;
• and
• a user device communicatively connected to the network, the user device includes at least a buffer, a decoder and an output device, configured to receive the need request, send the need request to the audio/video server computer, receive the audio/video data from the audio/video server computer, and transform the audio/video data of the first format to the reformatted video of the second format;
• wherein the server computer, configured to receive the reformatted audio/video data of the second format from the user device and transform the reformatted audio/video data of the second format to a reconstructed audio video data of the first format of reconstructed info data, reconstructed header data, reconstructed cookie, fill data, reconstructed header data, reconstructed cookie, fill data, reconstructed header data, reconstructed cookie and fill data, wherein the reformatted info data, reformatted header data and reformatted cookie are directly copied into the reconstructed info data, reconstructed header data and reconstructed cookie, and the fill data is created using the reformatted length, for operations of the application unit operating the application program, whereby the reconstructed audio/video data corresponds to the audio/video data of the first format.

A method, the method is operable over a data communications network with an audio/video server computer communicatively connected to the network, the audio/video server computer configured to deliver an audio/video data of a first format of original info data, original header data, decoder data, original header data, decoder data, original header data and decoder data, responsive to request for the audio/video data, comprising:

• controlling an application unit for operation on the audio/video data by a server computer, the application unit requires a reconstructed audio/video data of the first format of reconstructed info data, reconstructed header data, reconstructed cookie, fill data, reconstructed header data, reconstructed cookie, fill data, reconstructed header data, reconstructed cookie and fill data, wherein the reformatted info data, reformatted header data and reformatted cookie are directly copied into the reconstructed info data, reconstructed header data and reconstructed cookie, and the fill data is created using the reformatted length;
• delivering over the network by a server computer a need request to a user device communicatively connected to the network, the need request includes a network identifier of the audio/video server computer and identifier of the audio/video data;
• requesting by the user device, responsive to receiving the need request, over the network from the audio/video server the audio/video data;
• receiving by the user device the audio/video data;
• reformatting the audio/video data to a reformatted audio/video of a second format of reformatted info data, reformatted header data, reformatted cookie, reformatted length, reformatted header data, reformatted cookie, reformatted length, reformatted header data, reformatted cookie and reformatted length, wherein the original info data and the original header data are directly copied into the reformatted info data and the reformatted header data, and the decoder data is converted into the reformatted cookie and reformatted length, of smaller size;
• p1 sending over the network by the user device the reformatted audio/video data of the second format, for receipt by the server computer;
• receiving by the server computer the reformatted audio/video data of the second format;
• transforming by the server computer the reformatted audio/video data of the second format, to the reconstructed audio/video data of the first format;
• delivering by the reformatting module the reconstructed audio/video data of the first format to the application unit;
• and
• operating by the application unit on the reconstructed audio/video data of the first format.
