Image Update Method, System, and Apparatus

An image update apparatus, comprising:

• an acquiring interface configured to acquire a first graphics instruction of a virtual machine, wherein the first graphics instruction of the virtual machine carries a first graphics update area and graphics update content;
• a processor configured to:
• determine a type of the first graphics instruction of the virtual machine
• send a drawing instruction to a graphics processing unit to perform rendering processing when the type of the first graphics instruction is a three-dimensional graphics instruction, wherein the drawing instruction carries the three-dimensional graphics instruction;
• acquire a rendering image corresponding to the first graphics instruction of the virtual machine when the type of the first graphics instruction is the three-dimensional graphics instruction;
• send a graphics update instruction to a primary surface management unit of the processor when the type of the first graphics instruction is the three-dimensional graphics instruction, wherein the graphics update instruction carries the rendering image and the first graphics update area;
• acquire an original primary surface of the virtual machine when the type of the first graphics instruction is the three-dimensional graphics instruction;
• and
• synthesize a new primary surface according to the original primary surface of the virtual machine, the first graphics update area, and the rendering image when the type of the first graphics instruction is the three-dimensional graphics instruction;
• and
• a sending interface configured to send an image corresponding to the new primary surface to a client of the virtual machine when the type of the first graphics instruction is the three-dimensional graphics instruction.

A non-transitory storage medium configured to store an image update program that when executed by a processor of a render server causes the processor to:

• acquire a first graphics instruction of a virtual machine, wherein the first graphics instruction of the virtual machine carries a first graphics update area and graphics update content;
• determine a type of the first graphics instruction of the virtual machine;
• send a drawing instruction to a graphics processing unit to perform rendering processing when the type of the first graphics instruction is a three-dimensional graphics instruction, wherein the drawing instruction carries the three-dimensional graphics instruction;
• acquire a rendering image corresponding to the first graphics instruction of the virtual machine;
• send a graphics update instruction to a primary surface management unit of the render server when the type of the first graphics instruction is the three-dimensional graphics instruction, wherein the graphics update instruction carries the rendering image and the first graphics update area;
• acquire, by the primary surface management unit, an original primary surface of the virtual machine when the type of the first graphics instruction is the three-dimensional graphics instruction;
• synthesize a new primary surface according to the original primary surface of the virtual machine, the first graphics update area, and the rendering image when the type of the first graphics instruction is the three-dimensional graphics instruction;
• and
• send an image corresponding to the new primary surface to a client of the virtual machine when the type of the first graphics instruction is the three-dimensional graphics instruction.
