Abstract:
Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for scan control for scanning a touch panel. The scan control system can alternate adaptively between scanning the touch panel in a passive scan mode requiring minimal power and in a focused active scan mode that sequentially scans only a portion of the touch panel. The scan control system can monitor the absolute capacitance of some or all of the sensors of the touch panel in passive scan mode and can monitor the mutual capacitance of a portion of the touch panel in focused active scan mode. If the absolute capacitance of any sensor is greater than the baseline capacitance, then the scan control can use this absolute capacitance touch data to determine one or more sub-regions of the touch panel for scanning in focused active scan mode. The mutual capacitance touch data can be used for determining features of the touch event.

Abstract:
A dynamically scaled file encoding method and apparatus are disclosed. A file encoding system using JPEG encoding can be configured to produce relatively constant compressed file sizes irrespective of the initial file size and file contents. The system retrieves an initial file or image that is to be compressed and determines a target bit rate corresponding to the compressed file. The target bit rate is used to determine an initial scaling factor. The initial file is encoded using a JPEG encoder having coefficients scaled by the initial scaling factor. The resultant bit rate can be adjusted in a second loop if greater than the desired bit rate. To adjust the bit rate, a recomputed scaling factor is determined from the resultant bit rate. The initial file is then encoded with coefficients scaled by the recomputed scaling factor to achieve a bit rate that is within the target bit rate.
Abstract:
Video encoding techniques are described. In one example, a video encoding technique includesidentifying a pixel location associated with a video block in a search space based on motion vectors associated with a set of video blocks within a video frame to be encoded, wherein the video blocks in the set are spatially located at defined locations relative to a current video block of the video frame to be encoded. A motion estimation routine can then be initialized for the current video block at the identified pixel location. By identifying a pixel location associated with a video block in a search space based on motion vectors associated with a set of video blocks within a video frame, the phenomenon of spatial redundancy can be more readily exploited to accelerate and improve the encoding process.

The processor instructions can configure the processor to receive a plurality of data points corresponding to a plurality of touch events on the touch device, determine a center of mass estimate from the plurality of data points, determine a search radius of center of mass estimate, and determine an optimal touch point position based on the center of mass estimate and the search radius using the processor.
Abstract:
A set of even interpolated sub-pixels is formed based on a pixel window and a tap coefficient register having a tap coefficient set, the pixel window is shifted and, applying the tap coefficient register a set of odd interpolated pixels is formed. The set of even interpolated sub-pixels and the set of odd interpolated sub-pixels are accumulated, repeatedly, until a termination condition is let. In the accumulating, the tap coefficient register is updated with another tap coefficient set, the pixel window is shifted, and the even interpolated pixels are incremented, the pixel window is then shifted again and the odd interpolated pixels are incremented.

A method for performing texture decoding in a multi-threaded processor includes substantially simultaneously decoding, in multiple hardware threads, at least two macro-blocks of a VP8 frame. Each hardware thread decodes one macro-block at a time. The method may also include assigning a macro-block from the at least two macro-blocks of the VP8 frame to a hardware thread of the multi-threaded processor.

In various embodiments, a processor of a mobile computing device including a rear area capacitive input sensor may monitor sensor measurements and generate an interaction profile based on the sensor measurements. The processor of the mobile computing device may determine whether the interaction profile is inconsistent with in-hand operation and may increase sensitivity of the capacitive input sensor in response to determining that the interaction profile is inconsistent with in-hand operation.
