NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DIE WITH BIT-FLIP OBJECT INSERTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17847101 titled 'NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DIE WITH BIT-FLIP OBJECT INSERTION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for inserting objects into a background image using bit-flip operations in non-volatile memory (NVM).

  • Bit-flip object insertion techniques for NVM are provided.
  • The techniques involve flipping or inverting bits within the pixels of a background image to insert an object.
  • In one example, pixels corresponding to the shape and insertion location of the object are XORed with binary 1s, changing their color or intensity to make the object appear in the background image.
  • In other examples, only the most significant bits of pixels in the background image are flipped.
  • The patent also describes latch-based procedures for high-speed processing on an NVM die.
  • Multiple plane NVM die implementations are discussed for efficient processing.

Potential Applications

  • Image editing and manipulation software
  • Augmented reality applications
  • Digital signage and advertising
  • Gaming and virtual reality

Problems Solved

  • Simplifies the process of inserting objects into a background image
  • Enables efficient and high-speed processing on NVM
  • Provides a method for changing the color or intensity of pixels to create the appearance of an object in the background image

Benefits

  • Faster and more efficient object insertion in NVM
  • Improved image editing capabilities
  • Enhanced visual effects in augmented reality and gaming applications


Original Abstract Submitted

Bit-flip object insertion techniques are provided for use with a non-volatile memory (NVM) wherein an object is inserted into a background image by flipping or inverting one or more bits within the pixels of the background image that correspond to the shape and insertion location of an object being inserted. In an illustrative example, pixels within the background image that correspond to the shape and insertion location of the object are XORed with binary 1s. This flips the bits of those pixels to change the color (hue) and/or intensity (brightness) of the pixels so the object appears in the background image. In other examples, only the most significant bits of pixels in the background image are inverted (flipped). Exemplary latch-based procedures are described herein for high-speed processing on an NVM die. Multiple plane NVM die implementations are also described for massive processing.
