Abstract

A system and method for managing state information related to an interactive application to accommodate one or more users participating in an interactive application session. The state information can include local state information specific to each of the one or more user's unique view of the interactive application and global state information. The system can include a telecommunications network; an application server in communication with the telecommunications network for managing the global state information relative to all of the users participating in the interactive application session; and at least one mobile client device in communication with the application server over the telecommunications network for managing the local state information for each of the one or more users. The method can include structuring the state information for optimized delivery over the telecommunications network and transferring the state information over the telecommunications network.
