Terminal device and game image display method

A method comprising:

• receiving, over a network connection and by a user device, a video stream comprising frames generated by a gaming device executing a video game application;
• presenting, on a touch-sensitive display of the user device, the video stream as a sequence of frames;
• detecting, at the touch-sensitive display, a user interaction during presentation of the video stream;
• associating, by a processor of the user device, the user interaction with an input signal for the gaming device;
• transmitting, over the network connection, the input signal to the gaming device;
• and
• receiving, over the network connection and by the user device, an updated video stream based on the input signal.

A system comprising:

• one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, over a network connection and by a user device, a video stream comprising frames generated by a gaming device executing a video game application;
• presenting, on a touch-sensitive display of the user device, the video stream as a sequence of frames;
• detecting, at the touch-sensitive display, a user interaction during presentation of the video stream;
• associating, by a processor of the user device, the user interaction with an input signal for the gaming device;
• transmitting, over the network connection, the input signal to the gaming device;
• and
• receiving, over the network connection and by the user device, an updated video stream based on the input signal.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing software comprising instructions executable by one or more computers which, upon such execution, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, over a network connection and by a user device, a video stream comprising frames generated by a gaming device executing a video game application;
• presenting, on a touch-sensitive display of the user device, the video stream as a sequence of frames;
• detecting, at the touch-sensitive display, a user interaction during presentation of the video stream;
• associating, by a processor of the user device, the user interaction with an input signal for the gaming device;
• transmitting, over the network connection, the input signal to the gaming device;
• and
• receiving, over the network connection and by the user device, an updated video stream based on the input signal.
