Abstract
In a content providing system, a server provides a screen rendered according to operation input made on a first device to a second device. The first device transmits, to the server, operation input data that indicates detected operation input. The server receives the operation input data from the first device, updates data for generating a screen and renders a screen according to the updated data for generating the screen. Next, the server transmits the rendered screen to the second device.
Claims8
A content providing system in which a server provides a screen, that the server rendered according to operation input carried out on a first device, to a second device, wherein
- the first device comprises:
- a detection unit configured to detect operation input carried out on the first device;
- and
- a first transmission unit configured to transmit operation input data indicating operation input detected by the detection unit to the server,
- the server comprises:
- a first receiving unit configured to receive the operation input data from the first device;
- an updating unit configured to update data for screen generation according to the operation input data received from the first receiving unit;
- a rendering unit configured to render a screen according to data for screen generation updated by the updating unit;
- and
- a second transmission unit configured to transmit a screen rendered by the rendering unit,
- and the second device comprises:
- a second receiving unit configured to receive a screen from the server;
- and
- a first display control unit configured to display on the first display unit, to which it is connected, a screen received from the second receiving unit.
A control method for a content providing system in which a server provides a screen, that the server rendered according to operation input carried out on a first device, to a second device, the control method comprising:
- in the first device:
- a detection step in which a detection unit of the first device detects operation input carried out on the first device;
- and
- a first transmission step in which a first transmission unit of the first device transmits operation input data indicating operation input detected in the detection step to the server,
- in the server:
- a first receiving step in which a first receiving unit of the server receives the operation input data from the first device;
- an updating step in which an updating unit of the server updates data for screen generation according to the operation input data received in the first receiving step;
- a rendering step in which a rendering unit of the server renders a screen according to data for screen generation updated in the updating step;
- and
- a second transmission step in which a second transmission unit of the server transmits a screen rendered by the rendering unit,
- and in the second device:
- a second receiving step in which a second receiving unit of the second device receives a screen from the server;
- and
- a first display control step in which a first display control unit of the second device displays on the first display unit, to which it is connected, a screen received in the second receiving step.
