DATA TRANSFERS FROM MEMORY TO MANAGE GRAPHICAL OUTPUT LATENCY: abstract simplified (18208705)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18208705 Titled 'DATA TRANSFERS FROM MEMORY TO MANAGE GRAPHICAL OUTPUT LATENCY'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a system and method for reducing latency in graphical output on a device with a display. The device receives an acoustic signal carrying a query and determines the state of a wireless controller. Based on this information, the device establishes an interaction mode for a graphical user interface. It sets a prefetch parameter to a certain value and prefetches electronic content items accordingly. Later, it may switch to a different interaction mode and override the prefetch parameter with a different value, prefetching a new set of content items.

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods of transferring data from memory to manage graphical output latency are provided. A device having a display receives an acoustic signal that carries a query. The device determines that a wireless controller is in a first state. The device establishes, based on receipt of the acoustic signal and the determination that the wireless controller device is in the first state, a first interaction mode for a graphical user interface rendered by the computing device for display via the display device. The device sets a prefetch parameter to a first value and prefetches the corresponding amount of electronic content items. The device establishes a second interaction mode and overrides the first value of the prefetch parameter to a second value, and prefetches a second amount of electronic content items corresponding to the second value.
