Attorney, Agent or Firm: Carr & Ferrell LLP

The video distribution network system includes client configuration data, a client video buffer for storing video information, a client video driver coupled to the client video buffer for presenting a portion of the video information on a display device, a current status manager for determining current client status information indicative of the portion of video information presented, a computations engine coupled to the client video buffer and to the current status manager for forwarding a burst of video information to the client video buffer based on the client configuration data and on the client status information, and a video buffer controller coupled to the client video buffer for controlling storage of the burst in the client video buffer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention provides a system and method for distributing and managing digital video information in a video distribution network.
The video distribution network system includes client configuration data, a client video buffer for storing video information, a client video driver coupled to the client video buffer for presenting a portion of the video information on a display device, a current status manager for determining current client status information indicative of the portion of video information presented, a computations engine coupled to the client video buffer and to the current status manager for forwarding a burst of video information to the client video buffer based on the client configuration data and on the client status information, and a video buffer controller coupled to the client video buffer for controlling storage of the burst in the client video buffer.
The method includes the steps of storing video information in a client video buffer, controlling presentation of a first portion of the video information on a display device, forwarding to the computations engine client status information based on the presentation of the first portion of the video information, forwarding to the client video buffer a burst of video information based on client configuration data and on the client status information, and storing the burst of video information at locations in the client video buffer based on the client status information.
