Abstract: A system and machine-implemented method are described for adjusting communication with a first distributed-input-distributed-output (DIDO) client. For example, a method according to one embodiment of the invention comprises: applying DIDO weights to one or more data streams to generate one or more DIDO precoded data streams; receiving input channel quality information (CQI) and/or channel state information (CSI) related to DIDO communication channels over which the DIDO precoded data streams are to be transmitted; determining a power scaling factor based on the CQI and/or CSI; and applying the power scaling factor to each of the DIDO precoded data streams.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a request by a hosting service center from a remote user to loin a multiplayer interactive twitch game or application already in progress, the multiplayer interactive twitch game or application running on a first server of the hosting service center and being played remotely by other players via first compressed streaming interactive video. Following a determination that the user may join the multiplayer interactive twitch game or application based on a set of criteria, an inbound routing network transfers control signals received from the remote user to the first server. Compression of the first compressed streaming interactive video is then synchronized as between the remote user and the other players such that the remote user has the perception that the multiplayer interactive twitch game or application is responding instantly to the request.

Abstract: A touch-screen apparatus and method are described for controlling an online video game. For example, one embodiment of a touch-screen apparatus comprises: a touch-screen display for displaying images and receiving user input in response to a user touching the touch screen display; a network interface for establishing a network connection with a gaming server executing a video game in response to user input from the apparatus, the gaming server compressing video output from the video game to generate interactive compressed streaming video, and transmitting the interactive compressed streaming video generated by the video game over the network connection to the touch-screen apparatus; a memory for storing program code and a processor for processing the program code to generate a touch-screen graphical user interface (GUI) comprising: a plurality of user input elements providing user input in response to the user selecting the user input elements on the touch screen display; wherein the user input is transmitted from the touch-screen apparatus to the gaming server to control the execution of the video game.
