摘要： A CPU module includes a host element configured to perform a high-level host-related task, and one or more data-generating processing elements configured to perform a data-generating task associated with the high-level host-related task. Each data-generating processing element includes logic configured to receive input data, and logic configured to process the input data to produce output data. The amount of output data is greater than an amount of input data, and the ratio of the amount of input data to the amount of output data defines a decompression ratio. In one implementation, the high-level host-related task performed by the host element pertains to a high-level graphics processing task, and the data-generating task pertains to the generation of geometry data (such as triangle vertices) for use within the high-level graphics processing task. The CPU module can transfer the output data to a GPU module via at least one locked set of a cache memory. The GPU retrieves the output data from the locked set, and periodically forwards a tail pointer to a cacheable location within the data-generating elements that informs the data-generating elements of its progress in retrieving the output data

摘要： A method and computer-executable instructions for performing a method of providing and selecting two or more objects on a display. The method utilizes a computer system having a graphical user interface including the display and a user interface selection device. The method displays a first of the two or more objects on the display, displays a second of the two or more objects on the display such that the second object overlaps and underlays the first object, blends the first and second object such that the portion of the second object which overlaps the first object is at least partially visible to a user, receives a user selection signal indicative of the user interface selection pointing device pointing to the overlapping portion of the first and second object, and processes the user selection as indicative of a selection of the underlying portion of the second object.

摘要： The present invention provides a method and apparatus for rendering images on a computer screen. Under the invention, a portion of a base image is described using a path. The path is then transformed using a non-affine transform to produce a transformed path. The transformed path is then rendered onto the computer screen. Another aspect of the present invention is a method and apparatus for rendering curves of any order and any dimension. In particular, the present invention provides a means for converting a function of any order and any dimension that describes one segment of a curve into a function that describes a different sized segment or an adjoining segment.

摘要： An image passthrough extension structure and method facilitating the transfer of compressed data image files from a software application to a device via the computer system operating system. The application determines whether the device is capable of decoding the specific compressed data file by polling the device driver. If the driver returns a “no support” message, the application processes the compressed data file in a conventional manner. If the driver returns a “support” message, the application transfers the compressed data file, along with the additional processing information, to the device driver utilizing the conventional file transfer operating system data structures modified to incorporate the compressed data file passthrough function. By allowing an application to transfer a compressed image file directly to a device driver, the present invention improves image fidelity and improves overall computer system efficiency by reducing the size of data files transferred between the application, the operating system and the hardware device.
