Multi-Stream Content Delivery to Low-End Devices

A non-transitory memory storing one or more programs, which, when executed by a server with one or more processors, cause the server to:

• render a user interface for a client device, wherein the user interface includes low latency content and buffered content;
• identify display properties of the buffered content in the user interface;
• encode the low latency content into a low latency stream;
• stream the user interface to the client device, including transmitting to the client device the low latency stream, separate and distinct from a buffered content stream for delivering the buffered content to the client device;
• and
• signal the client device the display properties of the buffered content for playback of the low latency content stream and the buffered content stream at the client device.

A server comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a non-transitory memory;
• a network interface;
• and
• one or more programs, stored in the non-transitory memory, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the server to:
• render a user interface for a client device, wherein the user interface includes low latency content and buffered content;
• identify display properties of the buffered content in the user interface;
• encode the low latency content into a low latency stream;
• stream the user interface to the client device, including transmitting to the client device the low latency stream, separate and distinct from a buffered content stream for delivering the buffered content to the client device;
• and
• signal the client device the display properties of the buffered content for playback of the low latency content stream and the buffered content stream at the client device.
