Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mechanism which can dynamically update display information by introducing change of configuration of a display.
SOLUTION: A display management architecture detects changes in a display environment and notifies software programs such as operating system etc. of the changes to enable them to adjust in real time accordingly. The display management system includes a display manager that provides communication channels between the operating system, display drivers and video drivers. (The display manager receives information from the drivers regarding the display capabilities of associated display devices, and provides reconfiguration services). When a change in the display environment occurs, the display manager notifies the changes to the software programs, and makes the software programs to be able to dynamically update or reconfigure the display information accordingly, and avoids the need to restart the computer.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a graphics processing with thermal management capabilities. The graphics processing unit may include a display controller, a microprocessing engine coupled to the display controller, and a clock circuit coupled to the display controller and the microprocessing engine. The clock circuit may further include a raw clock signal coupled to the display controller, a divider coupled to the raw clock signal, and a multiplexer coupled to the divider. The divider may generate a divided version of the raw clock signal, which may be coupled to the multiplexer along with the raw clock signal. The multiplexer may selectively provide the raw clock signal and/or the divided version of the clock signal to the microprocessing engine such that the microprocessing engine may receive a timing signal that is independent of operations of the graphics processing unit and result in fewer glitches.

Abstract: [00134] Systems, methods, and devices for dynamically mapping and remapping memory when a portion of memory is activated or deactivated are provided. In accordance with an embodiment, an electronic device may include several memory banks, one or more processors, and a memory controller. The memory banks may store data in hardware memory locations and may be independently deactivated. The processors may request the data using physical memory addresses, and the memory controller may translate the physical addresses to hardware memory locations. The memory controller may use a first memory mapping function when a first number of memory banks is active and a second memory mapping function when a second number is active. When one of the memory banks is to be deactivated, the memory controller may copy data from only the memory bank that is to be deactivated to the active remainder of memory banks.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of methods, apparatuses, and systems for seamlessly migrating a user visible display stream sent to a display device from one rendered display stream to another rendered display stream are described. For one embodiment, mirror video display streams are received from both a first graphics processing unit (GPU) and a second GPU, and the video display stream sent to a display device is switched from the video display stream from the first GPU to the video display stream from the second GPU, wherein the switching occurs during a blanking interval for the first GPU that overlaps with a blanking interval for the second GPU.

Abstract: A display mode can be selected by identifying a plurality of display modes supported by a media client, wherein the plurality of display modes comprise safe display modes; generating a user interface including a test image and a plurality of commands in accordance with a selected display mode of the plurality of display modes, wherein the user interface is output to a display device; receiving user input selecting one of the plurality of commands; and configuring an operating display mode of the media client in accordance with the received user input. Configuring an operating display mode further can comprise determining that the received user input confirms the selected display mode and configuring the media client to set the selected display mode as the operating display mode. Further, generating a user interface can comprise presenting a display timer indicating a time remaining until a display mode change.

Abstract: A display mode can be selected by identifying a plurality of display modes supported by a media client, wherein the plurality of display modes comprise safe modes; sequentially selecting a display mode from the plurality of display modes, wherein the plurality of display modes are ordered according to one or more of resolution, timing, and popularity; generating an output signal based on the selected display mode, wherein the generated output signal is provided to a display device; and selectively repeating the sequential selection of a display mode and generating an output signal based on the selected display mode until an input is received from a user indicating that the selected display mode is compatible with the display device. Further, the media client can be configured to utilize the selected display mode. Additionally, the plurality of display modes can be identified based on extended display identification data from the display device.
