An electronic device includes a display panel and image processing circuitry. The image processing circuitry receives input image data corresponding to an image to display on the display panel, modifies the input image data by executing a first context task (e.g., lower priority task), and receives a context switch request. The image processing circuitry also pauses modification of the input image data by pausing execution of the first context task and then switches to modifying the input image data by executing a second context task (e.g., higher priority task).

An image processing apparatus of an embodiment includes a combined image generator and a controller. The combined image generator projects, on three-dimensional data indicating three-dimensional heart function information obtained from a first volume data group obtained by imaging the heart of a subject, a three-dimensional shape of blood vessels nourishing a cardiac muscle included in second volume data obtained by imaging the heart, thereby producing three-dimensional combined data, and produces combined image data in which the three-dimensional combined data is developed on a surface. The controller causes a display unit to display the combined image data.

Techniques are described for controlling operation of both a host device and a wearable display device connected to the host device based on a use status of the wearable display device. The techniques include automatically determining a use status of a wearable display device based on feedback from one or more touch sensors within the wearable display device that indicates whether the wearable display device is worn by a user. Based on the determined use status, the wearable display device controls its own operation (e.g., controls operation of display screens of the wearable display device, a communication session with the host device, and display processing of data received from the host device). The wearable display device also sends an indication of the use status to the host device. The host device then controls its own data processing for the wearable display device based on the indicated use status.

Transitions between monitor configurations may be streamlined by minimizing the tearing down and recreating of render targets and primary frame buffers associated with the monitors. In at least one example, the techniques described herein include identifying at least one render target in a first monitor configuration that is also in a second monitor configuration. In response to identifying the at least one render target in the first monitor configuration that is also in the second monitor configuration, the techniques herein describe maintaining the at least one render target during a transition between the first monitor configuration to second monitor configuration.

A display system comprises a processing circuit configured to receive image data from a video source, and generate a current image frame by generating pixel data as a function of the image data and storing the pixel data to a frame buffer. A graphic video driver is configured to display the image frame by reading the pixel data from the frame buffer and generating drive signals for the graphic display as a function of the pixel data read. The processing circuit also is configured to insert integrity data into the pixel data of the current image frame, wherein the position of the integrity data within the pixel data changes. The display system comprises a further processing circuit configured to read the pixel data from the frame buffer and verify whether the position of the integrity data within the pixel data changes.

A method, system, and/or computer program product enables the sharing of an overlapping area on a shared projection. A system detects an overlapping area on a shared projection, which presents content from a first projection and a second projection. A computing device identifies any redundant resources, which perform the same function as one another, in the first projection and the second projection. A consolidated resource, which provides the same function as the redundant resources, is defined and/or created, and then displayed in the overlapping area.

A method for storing data of an image frame into a frame buffer includes at least the following steps: dividing the image frame into a plurality of access units, each having at least one encoding unit, wherein each encoding unit is a unit for data compression; and performing the data compression upon each encoding unit of the image frame, and generating an output bitstream to the frame buffer based on a data compression result of the encoding unit. A processing result of each access unit includes each output bitstream of the at least one encoding unit included in the access unit; a plurality of processing results of the access units are stored in a plurality of storage spaces allocated in the frame buffer, respectively; and a size of each of the storage spaces is equal to a size of a corresponding access unit.

An imaging display apparatus includes an imaging unit that images a subject at a first frame rate and outputs an imaging signal, an image processing portion that generates an image signal based on the imaging signal, a VRAM that stores the image signal, and a display unit that performs displaying based on the image signal at a second frame rate which is equal to or greater than N (N is a natural number equal to or greater than 2) times the first frame rate. The VRAM stores the image signals for one frame to be displayed by the display unit. The display unit performs displaying N times based on the image signals for one frame.

An electronic device is provided, which includes a display, a processor configured to generate a plurality of frame images including a first frame image and a second frame image to be provided to the display, and a display driving circuit including an image processor and a memory, and configured to drive the display using the first frame image and the second frame image that are provided from the processor. The display driving circuit is configured to compare the second image frame to the first image frame, to display, through the display, a third image frame obtained through the image processor, the image processor processing the first image frame or the second image frame using an image processing scheme if the second image frame satisfies a first condition, to store the third image frame in the memory and to display the stored third image frame through the display if the second image frame satisfies a second condition.

Apparatus and methods are disclosed for managing power consumption of a graphics processing system. Specifically, the method adaptively adjusts the performance level of the graphics processing system based on scene information in each frame. A scene-aware power manager is configured to receive scene information and adaptively control performance of the GPU according to the received scene information. The power manager compares the early indicators of the current frame with the early indicators of a previous frame to determine a level of scene change and to assign a set of initial performance settings based on the determined level of scene change.
