INTELLIGENT MANAGEMENT OF APPLICATION LAYER RENDERING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18042575 Titled 'INTELLIGENT MANAGEMENT OF APPLICATION LAYER RENDERING'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract discusses the increasing popularity of high frames-per-second (FPS) displays in devices like smartphones and laptops. These displays require precise timing control for rendering and composing data. Traditionally, there is one sync signal for rendering and one for composing, both with the same frequency as the display hardware. However, as the display's FPS increases, some application layers may struggle to render quickly enough. To solve this problem, the proposal suggests using multiple sync signals with different frequencies and phases to control the rendering timings of different application layers. This approach aims to improve the user experience by effectively managing the rendering process.


Original Abstract Submitted

High frames-per-second (FPS) displays are becoming more ubiquitous in devices such as smartphones, laptops, etc. For displaying data on displays, render sync signal and compose sync signal control timings of rendering and composing. Conventionally, there is one render sync signal and one compose sync signal for a display, and both share the same frequency as the HW sync signal of the display hardware. As the FPS of the display becomes faster and faster, i.e., as HW sync signal frequency increases, some application layers may be unable to render fast enough to keep up with the increased frequency. To address this issue, it is proposed to provide multiple render sync signals of differing frequencies and phases, and different render sync signals may be used to control the timings of rendering of different application layers. Through such managing of the application layer rendering, a better user experience can be provided.
