摘要： Methods, systems, and computer program products adapt and render a graphic effect associated with text rendered via an output device. A method involves receiving a character associated with a graphic effect and determining whether the graphic effect has not been fully rendered with a previously received character via the output device. Graphic effects that are fully rendered are rendered in full fidelity without degradation. In response to determining that the graphic effect has not been fully rendered with the previously received character, the method further involves degrading a display quality of the graphic effect and rendering the graphic effect with degradation and rendering the character to allow the character and the graphic effect to be displayed via the output device substantially in real time.

摘要： Collecting traffic data regarding a plurality of wireless terminals includes periodically receiving Global Positioning System (GPS) location information from each of the plurality of wireless terminals by a location tracking server. For each of the plurality of wireless terminals, the location tracking server accumulates GPS location information. The location tracking server receives information regarding a geographic feature, processes the received GPS location information, and generates a traffic pattern report regarding the geographic feature based upon the accumulated GPS location information.

摘要： A system and method for optimizing the performance of a graphics intensive software program for graphics acceleration hardware. This system and method encompasses a procedure that validates the different functions of a 3D acceleration capable video card, decides whether to use the acceleration hardware and optimizes the software application to selectively use the functions that work on the specific video acceleration card. Functions checked include sub-pixel positioning, opacity, color replacement and fog. If these tests are successful, then the graphics acceleration is used by the software application. However, if the tests are not successful the decision is made not to use graphics accelerator. Those with ordinary skill in the art will realize that it is not necessary to perform all of the tests in a specific order. Additionally, other types of tests could be performed to ensure software application and video card compatibility before the software application is uses graphics acceleration to render 3D graphics.

摘要： Images that are contained within documents are compressed to reduce the file size of the document. The compression may occur such that compression steps occur to the image automatically. The compression steps performed are determined based on the information available about the images in a document. The information is used to determine whether or not the image should be compressed as well as what compression method is used.

摘要： Transparent content and opaque content that is contained within a document is treated differently for printing. The transparent content within a document is rasterized and stored in a system-managed bitmap before printing. While rasterization is effective for maintaining visual fidelity of transparent content it can lead to large spool files and poor performance if excessively performed. In order to help optimize the performance of output devices, the transparent content within the document is rasterized and the opaque vector content within the document is drawn into a metafile before printing. The metafile is replayed onto the printer and into the bitmap such that the opaque content can be blended with the rasterized transparent layers that are contained within the bitmap. The bitmap is then drawn on the printer.

摘要翻译： 包含在文档中的透明内容和不透明内容的处理方式与打印不同。 在打印之前，文档中的透明内容被光栅化并存储在系统管理的位图中。 虽然光栅化对于保持透明内容的视觉保真度是有效的，但如果过度执行，它可能导致大的假脱机文件和差的性能。 为了帮助优化输出设备的性能，文档中的透明内容被光栅化，文件中的不透明向量内容在打印之前被绘制到图元文件中。 元文件被重播到打印机和位图中，使得不透明的内容可以与位图中包含的光栅化的透明层混合。 然后在打印机上绘制位图。
