Embodiments of this application disclose an image frame display method performed by a computer device.

A management apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive, for each of terminal devices belonging to a first group, a corresponding piece of quality information based on a quality available to the respective terminal device in a communication service; a determiner configured to determine, based on the corresponding piece of quality information for each terminal device, whether the first group includes a second group of two or more terminal devices, the second group satisfying a predetermined condition, the predetermined condition including a quality condition in which the communication service is available at a quality higher than or equal to a predetermined quality; and a situation controller configured to, based on a result of a determination made by the determiner being affirmative, cause a first situation in which the second group receives the communication service at a quality higher than or equal to the predetermined quality.

Systems and methods for reducing latency through motion estimation and compensation techniques are disclosed. The systems and methods include a client device that uses transmitted lookup tables from a remote server to match user input to motion vectors, and tag and sum those motion vectors. When a remote server transmits encoded video frames to the client, the client decodes those video frames and applies the summed motion vectors to the decoded frames to estimate motion in those frames. In certain embodiments, the systems and methods generate motion vectors at a server based on predetermined criteria and transmit the generated motion vectors and one or more invalidators to a client, which caches those motion vectors and invalidators. The server instructs the client to receive input from a user, and use that input to match to cached motion vectors or invalidators. Based on that comparison, the client then applies the matched motion vectors or invalidators to effect motion compensation in a graphic interface. In other embodiments, the systems and methods cache repetitive motion vectors at a server, which transmits a previously generated motion vector library to a client. The client stores the motion vector library, and monitors for user input data. The server instructs the client to calculate a motion estimate from the input data and instructs the client to update the stored motion vector library based on the input data, so that the client applies the stored motion vector library to initiate motion in a graphic interface prior to receiving actual motion vector data from the server. In this manner, latency in video data streams is reduced.

Before a network jitter occurs, a server receives operation instructions from an electronic device, generates a plurality of first rendering instruction streams based on the operation instructions, sends the plurality of first rendering instruction streams to the electronic device, and generates and stores one or more first rendering contexts for one or more first rendering instruction streams in the plurality of first rendering instruction streams. When the network jitter occurs, the server generates a second rendering instruction stream based on received operation instructions, and generates and stores a second rendering context based on the second rendering instruction stream. After the recovery from the network jitter, the server sends a set of rendering context differences to the electronic device. In this way, network transmission traffic after the recovery from the network jitter is reduced, transmission and processing delays are also reduced, and user experience is improved.
