    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for time shifting tasks in a computing system. A system may include a display control unit configured to process pixels for display. The display control unit may include at least one or more pixel processing pipelines, a control unit, and a pixel buffer. The control unit may be configured to monitor the amount of data in the pixel buffer and set the priority of pixel fetch requests according to the amount of data in the pixel buffer. If the control unit determines that an inter frame period will occur within a given period of time, the control unit may prevent the priority of pixel fetch requests from being escalated if the amount of data in the pixel buffer falls below a threshold. The control unit may also be configured to fill the buffers of the display control unit with as much data as possible during the inter frame period.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for making and using environmental measurements are described. Environmental information captured using a variety of devices is processed and combined to generate an environmental model which is communicated to customer playback devices. A UV map which is used for applying, e.g., wrapping, images onto the environmental model is also provided to the playback devices. A playback device uses the environmental model and UV map to render images which are then displayed to a viewer as part of providing a 3D viewing experience. In some embodiments updated environmental model is generated based on more recent environmental measurements, e.g., performed during the event. The updated environmental model and/or difference information for updating the existing model, optionally along with updated UV map(s), is communicated to the playback devices for use in rendering and playback of subsequently received image content. By communicating updated environmental information improved 3D simulations are achieved.

    Abstract: A system and method for interacting multi-screen in a car are presented. A memory of a main device is configured to form a main frame buffer corresponding to the main device and to form at least one secondary frame buffer corresponding to the at least one secondary device. The memory is further configured to form a frequently executed icon frame buffer corresponding to a frequently executed icon to store a user interface image when the controller is performing function of the frequently executed icon. A user interface is used to select a touch screen icon and frequently executed icon for the touch screen to be directed to a corresponding frame buffer and immediately display and control images in the corresponding touch screen to improve the interaction between touch screens.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a processor, a graphics processing unit and a memory. The memory stores computer executable instructions. The computer executable instructions include a motion estimation kernel which when executed by the graphics processing unit performs motion estimation on a current frame using a reference frame. The current frame and the reference frame are stored in a globally shared memory of the graphics processing unit.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for compositing an image from display planes are disclosed. An internal matrix having transparency data indicating transparency of a macro block of a digital representation of a display is accessed. An external matrix is accessed if the internal matrix indicates the macro block includes a transparent and opaque pixel, wherein the external matrix has transparency data indicating transparency of each pixel in the macro block. A first display plane is read based on the transparency data indicating opaque pixels and the first display plane data is sent to a first buffer. Second display plane data of a second display plane is read and sent to a second buffer if the transparency data indicates transparent pixels. Control data is inserted into the first buffer accordingly such that an image is generated based on at least one of the first and second display plane data and the control data.
