摘要:
When a device is connected to a computer, many computers are configured to seek a driver for a device (e.g., accessible over a network), install either the driver for the device (if accessible) or a default driver, and terminate the installation process. However, this process may delay access to the device until the driver is fully installed, and may leave a device in an incomplete state through the default driver, even if a driver is subsequently accessible. Instead, when a device is connected, the computer may promptly install a default driver in order to provide rapid access to the device. The computer may then begin and persist in seeking access to a driver library containing a driver for the device, and upon (eventually) retrieving the driver, may replace the default driver with the driver, thereby achieving full functionality of the device through the proper driver without involving the user.

Systems and methods of providing rich user interface (UI) and/or animation from a main computing device to an auxiliary display device (ADD) are disclosed. A renderer driver may be communicatively coupled to the ADD and to an application at the main computing device that provides rich UI or animation. The renderer driver may use one or more interfaces in a renderer library to create a bitmap of the rich UI content/animation in a hidden window and communicate the bitmap to the ADD. For rendering animation at the ADD, updated bitmaps may be repeatedly generated and communicated. The renderer driver may receive an indication of a user input received at the ADD in response to the bitmap, interpret the indication, and communicate to the application the corresponding user response. Some or all portions of the system may reside at the auxiliary device, the main computing device, or both devices.
