20120106930 | SHARED SURFACE HARDWARE-SENSITIVE COMPOSITED VIDEO - In a low-power device a runtime hands video capture and other markup language video objects to a video service, which renders them onto a shared surface. An application-specific compositor manipulates the shared surface, e.g., by texture wrapping or animation. A system compositor composites the manipulated shared surface with other data, such as rendered frames from other application-specific compositors and/or computer generated text. The device then displays the attendant rendered, manipulated, and composited video frames. In some cases, only a single copy of the shared surface is utilized. When the video object's shape, alignment, and opacity satisfy predetermined criteria, the video service renders the video object onto the shared surface using a hardware scaler; otherwise, rendering is done without using the hardware scaler. | 05-03-2012 |
20120313954 | OPTIMIZED ON-SCREEN VIDEO COMPOSITION FOR MOBILE DEVICE - A method for displaying continuous video content on a mobile phone LCD renders plural source video textures as consecutive surfaces on the display. A hardware scaler, rather than a general purpose graphical processing unit (GPU), is used to render a particular surface whenever possible, because it uses less battery power than the GPU. The method determines if the hardware scaler is capable of rendering a particular surface and if the particular surface is to be rendered with one or more additional images derived from a source other than a source video texture. The hardware scaler renders surfaces, including any additional images, if it is capable of doing so; otherwise the GPU renders the surface. The method is applied dynamically to each video texture in a video session, so that the manner of rendering each surface, whether by using the hardware scaler or the GPU, can change from surface to surface. | 12-13-2012 |
