摘要： Media processing methods, systems and application program interfaces (APIs) in which a destination component, also referred to as a destination, provides an application with a simple and unified way of rendering, archiving, broadcasting (or other types of media output processing) media from an origin to a target of choice, without requiring the application to have intimate knowledge about underlying components, their connectivity and management. For example, applications can use a destination to help manage the rendering or archiving (or other processing) of the particular media.

摘要： Resource management architectures implemented in computer systems to manage resources are described. In one embodiment, a general architecture includes a resource manager and multiple resource providers that support one or more resource consumers such as a system component or application. Each provider is associated with a resource and acts as the manager for the resource when interfacing with the resource manager. The resource manager arbitrates access to the resources provided by the resource providers on behalf of the consumers. A policy manager sets various policies that are used by the resource manager to allocate resources. One policy is a priority-based policy that distinguishes among which applications and/or users have priority over others to use the resources. A resource consumer creates an “activity” at the resource manager and builds one or more “configurations” that describe various sets of preferred resources required to perform the activity. Each resource consumer can specify one or more configurations for each activity. If multiple configurations are specified, the resource consumer can rank them according to preference. This allows the resource consumers to be dynamically changed from one configuration to another as operating conditions change.

摘要： A graphics display apparatus employs a general purpose or main microprocessor providing general control of the apparatus including receiving high-level graphic orders defining a desired graphic image from a host processor and dedicated graphics microprocessor connected to receive low-level graphic orders from the general microprocessor along a pipeline constituted by a shared buffer store. Pipeline control logic controls the pipeline by blocking the graphics processor which generally operates more quickly than the general processor until the latter has completed computation of all the low-level orders associated with a particular high-level order. The front-of-screen performance can be further improved by backing up the pipeline to repeat certain low-level orders rather than by obtaining these repeated orders by recomputation. Graphics hardware controlled by the graphics processor loads appropriate bit patterns into an all points addressable refresh buffer for subsequent display on a cathode ray tube monitor.

摘要： A component, such as a Component Object Model (COM) object, operates as an intermediary between an Application Programming Interface (API) extension or plug-in and a driver. The component allows additional objects to be aggregated onto the component, and/or sets one or more setting values for a received request so that an I/O call associated with the request can be completed in a manner that is compatible with other I/O calls. The component may also return, in response to a particular request, a stream index associated with the component.
