I'm guessing:
It relies on file format/layout, instruction codes (if you will), but basically it works like a message packet protocol macro/script API. 

6,629,163 is not listed on wikipatents.

A search for the name yielded this on wikipatents (I can see where this would be applicable to rendering video and possibly streaming DRM issues.):

A new class of packet-switched extended generalized-shuffle self-routing multistage interconnection networks provides a continuous performance-cost tradeoff between, on the one hand, the knockout switch or buffered crossbar and, on the other hand, the tandem banyan network. Multiple copies of the new networks may be serially cascaded back-to-back, and connected in parallel. A particular concentrator circuit in the network concentrates active communications packets randomly distributed on many lines onto selected lines. Another, second, network communicates synchronization information communicable point-to-point and multipoint while performing arithmetic and logical operations on the synchronization information so communicated. A hybrid parallel combination of both the first and second networks serves to efficiently communicate information point-to-point while simultaneously communicating synchronization information both point-to-point and multipoint.

is this the PCI bus? If so let's scrap it and use SATA IIa.

Transmuting Bud into an IPA would be a wonderful talent.

This is basically a patent for reading the header information of a binary stream so you can work out where in the file information is. ISn't this been used on every graphics file format for years???

How exactly did they get a patent for this??

All your words are belong to us.

This is very reminiscent of Intel trying to copyright the lower case letter i. Why doesn't some make a patent for every freaking technical word out there an sue everyone.... there is a serious problem with the copyright system when they allow such shenanigans as this.
