ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR QUICKLY UPDATING PARTIAL REGION OF SCREEN - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18104639 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR QUICKLY UPDATING PARTIAL REGION OF SCREEN
Simplified Explanation
An electronic device with a display, display driver, and processor is described in this patent application. The device is capable of partial updates to the display, allowing for efficient rendering of user inputs and application screens. Here are the key points:
- The device has a display, display driver, and processor.
- It supports partial updates to the display, which means only specific regions of the screen are updated.
- In a partial update driving state, the processor receives a user input for a specific screen of an application.
- The processor generates data for the partial region corresponding to the user input.
- The data is stored in a buffer memory.
- The display driver is controlled to show the partial region based on the data and the remaining region in the same manner as the original screen.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile devices: This technology can be used in smartphones and tablets to improve the efficiency of rendering user inputs and application screens.
- Gaming consoles: Partial updates can enhance the gaming experience by allowing for faster and more precise rendering of game elements.
- E-readers: Partial updates can be used to display text or images on e-readers, making the reading experience smoother and more responsive.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient rendering: Partial updates reduce the processing power and memory required to update the display, resulting in improved performance and energy efficiency.
- User experience: By quickly updating only the necessary regions, the device provides a more responsive and seamless user experience.
Benefits of this technology:
- Faster response time: Partial updates allow for quicker rendering of user inputs and application screens, reducing lag and improving overall responsiveness.
- Energy efficiency: By updating only specific regions, the device consumes less power, leading to improved battery life.
- Improved performance: The efficient use of resources, such as processing power and memory, results in smoother and more efficient operation of the device.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes a display, a display driver including a buffer memory, and a processor configured to, in a partial update driving state of the display, receive a user input for a first execution screen of an application in an Mth frame period, generate data of a partial region corresponding to the user input and store the data in the buffer memory in an (M+1)th frame period, and control the display driver so that the display displays the partial region based on the data and a remaining region other than the partial region in a same manner as the first execution screen in an (M+2)th frame period.
