Abstract:
Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for predicting a future context of a computing device. In some implementations, a context daemon can use historical context information to predict future events and/or context changes. For example, the context daemon can analyze historical context information to predict user sleep patterns, user exercise patterns, and/or other user activity. In some implementations, a context client can register a callback for a predicted future context. For example, the context client can request to be notified ten minutes in advance of a predicted event and/or context change. The context daemon can use the prediction to notify a context client in advance of the predicted event.
Abstract:
Embodiments described herein provide for a display system to generate and display data on a display device, the display system comprising one or more graphics processors to generate one or more frames of data for display on the display device; display logic to receive a request to display the one or more frames of data, the request including a requested presentation time in which the one or more frames of data are to be displayed; and a display engine to present the one or more frames of data to the display device for display at a target presentation time, the target presentation time derived from the requested presentation time, wherein the display engine is to adjust a refresh rate of the display device based on the target presentation time of the one or more frames of data.
Abstract:
Implementations include systems, methods, and devices for performing content manipulation operations. For example, in some implementations, a method includes performing content manipulation operations in response to detecting a multi-finger gesture, independent of detecting other inputs that invoke an editing interface. Accordingly, the amount of useable display area is increased because the editing interface is not displayed or is temporarily displayed. In some circumstances, the type of content manipulation operation is a function of a magnitude of a multi-finger gesture. In some circumstances, the type of content manipulation operation is a function of a rotational direction of a multi-finger gesture. As another example, in some implementations, a method includes performing a partial undo or redo operation, in addition to complete undo and redo operations, based on a type of detected input. As another example, in some implementations, a method includes performing content manipulation operations based on movement after a pinch gesture.
Abstract:
Techniques for memory management of a data processing system are described herein. According to one embodiment, a memory usage monitor executed by a processor of a data processing system monitors memory usages of groups of programs running within a memory of the data processing system. In response to determining that a first memory usage of a first group of the programs exceeds a first predetermined threshold, a user level reboot is performed in which one or more applications running within a user space of an operating system of the data processing system are terminated and relaunched. In response to determining that a second memory usage of a second group of the programs exceeds a second predetermined threshold, a system level reboot is performed in which one or more system components running within a kernel space of the operating system are terminated and relaunched.
