    摘要: An automated direct transaction and delivery system for digital content (“ATDDC”) provides for automated detection of missing digital content or resources required for a player or participant to participate in a multimedia application in either a single player or multiplayer environment is described. The ATDDC automatically detects that a player may not have installed particular required content or that a title update is required in order to participate in a media session or video game. Upon detection of missing content or resources the ATDDC provides direct bid to purchase the content or resources, provides for automatic download, installation and configuration of the content while allowing the player to remain in contact with other players within a party.

    摘要: An improved remote protocol enables efficient and reliable updating of files on a remote server. A gather-copy extension to a remote protocol enables a client to instruct a server to gather portions of data from an existing source file on the server and to copy those portions of data to appropriate offsets within a new destination file on the server. The gather-copy extension thus enables the client to leave blank locations in the destination file into which the client can write new data during a file update. The gather-copy extension also enables the client to effectively delete portions of the source file by not copying them from the source file to the destination file. File updates can therefore be made without having to transfer the entire file from the client to the server.

    摘要: A method and system for allowing spectators to experience multimedia information over a network generated by an online video game running on a participant's device comprises a participant system and a universal spectator client system. A participant may utilize a device to experience game play. Each spectator may also have an associated device, which may allow the spectator to receive multimedia information generated by the participant system over a network. A spectator may experience multimedia information generated by a participant regardless of whether the spectator has the same title installed on an associated device and regardless of whether the associated spectator device provides the same capabilities and functionality as the participant device.
