ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PROVIDING AR/VR ENVIRONMENT, AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18455967 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PROVIDING AR/VR ENVIRONMENT, AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device that can display both stereoscopic and non-stereoscopic screens. It includes a display, a processor, and a memory. The device can execute different applications and store their screens in frame buffers. It can also switch between frame buffers and display the screens accordingly.

  • The device can execute a first application that provides a stereoscopic screen.
  • It can store the screen generated by the first application in a first frame buffer.
  • While the first screen is being displayed, it can identify an execution request for a second application that provides a non-stereoscopic screen.
  • It can execute the second application in response to the request.
  • The screen provided by the second application is stored in the first frame buffer.
  • The device can also store a third execution screen in a second frame buffer by stereoscopic-rendering the second screen.
  • It can change the frame buffer referred to by the display from the first to the second.
  • Finally, it can display the third execution screen.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in electronic devices that support both stereoscopic and non-stereoscopic applications.
  • It can enhance the user experience by seamlessly switching between different types of screens.

Problems Solved

  • The device solves the problem of displaying both stereoscopic and non-stereoscopic screens without any interruption or loss of quality.
  • It allows for smooth execution and rendering of different applications.

Benefits

  • Users can enjoy a more immersive experience by having access to both stereoscopic and non-stereoscopic screens.
  • The device provides a seamless transition between different applications and screens.
  • It optimizes the use of frame buffers to efficiently store and display screens.


Original Abstract Submitted

An example electronic device may include a display, a processor, and a memory. The memory may store instructions which, when executed, enable the processor to: execute a first application providing a stereoscopic screen; store, in a first frame buffer, a first execution screen generated by rendering a screen provided by the first application; while the first execution screen is being displayed, identify an execution request of a second application providing a non-stereoscopic screen; execute the second application in response to the execution request of the second application; store, in the first frame buffer, a second execution screen generated by rendering a screen provided by the second application; store, in a second frame buffer different from the first frame buffer, a third execution screen generated by stereoscopic-rendering the second execution screen; change a frame buffer referred to by the display from the first frame buffer to the second frame buffer; and display the third execution screen.
