SIGNAL PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE COMPRISING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17909126 titled 'SIGNAL PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE COMPRISING SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an image display apparatus that allows for real-time codec changes without interrupting the screen display. It includes a signal processing device with a decoder, buffer memory, and controller. The controller divides the buffer memory into two storage spaces based on a codec change signal and manages the input/output of data in parallel or simultaneously.
- The signal processing device includes a decoder, buffer memory, and controller.
- The decoder decodes data encoded using different coder-decoders.
- The controller controls the decoder and buffer memory.
- When a codec change signal is received, the controller divides the buffer memory into two storage spaces.
- The controller manages the input/output of data in the first and second storage spaces in parallel or simultaneously.
- This allows for real-time codec changes without delaying the process and ensures uninterrupted content display to the user.
Potential Applications
- Video streaming platforms that require seamless codec changes for different content.
- Video conferencing systems that need to switch between codecs during a call.
- Gaming consoles that support multiple codecs for different games.
Problems Solved
- Delay in codec changes when switching between different types of encoded data.
- Interruption of content display during codec changes.
- Inability to provide real-time codec changes without affecting user experience.
Benefits
- Real-time codec changes without delay.
- Seamless content display without interruption.
- Enhanced user experience with uninterrupted screen display.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image display apparatus including the same are disclosed. A signal processing device of the present disclosure includes a decoder to decode data encoded based on at least two different coder-decoders, a buffer memory, and a controller to control the decoder and the buffer memory, wherein the controller controls the decoder to divide the buffer memory into a first storage space and a second storage space based on a codec change signal being received, and manages input or output of data of the first and the second storage space in parallel or simultaneously. Accordingly, it is possible to change codecs in real time without delay when codec change is required and to provide content without interruption of a screen to a user.
