US Patent 7965772 Systems and methods for improved data transmission

Real-time video content is segmented into a series of processing cubes that are comprised of a predetermined number of frames, wherein the first frame is a reference frame, followed by a plurality of delta frames. In one embodiment, the video data which defines the reference frame is converted into command-and-control data usable to re-create the reference frame at a destination location. For the delta frames, only that data which is actually different than the preceding frame is transmitted and used to re-create corresponding frames at the destination location.
