Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for driving a split display with multiple display pipelines. Frames for driving a display are logically divided into portions, a first display pipeline drives a first portion of the display, and a second display pipeline drives a second portion of the display. To ensure synchronization between the two display pipelines, a repeat vertical blanking interval (VBI) signal is generated if either of the display pipelines has not already received the frame packet with configuration data for the next frame. When the repeat VBI signal is generated, both display pipelines will repeat processing of the current frame.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for encoding an extended image such that it is backwards compatible with existing decoding devices. An extended image format is defined such that the extended image format is consistent with an existing image format over the full range of the existing image format. Because the extended image format is consistent with the existing image format over the full range of the existing image format, additional image information that is included in an extended image can be extracted from the extended image. A base version of an image (expressed using the existing image format) may be encoded in a payload portion and the extracted additional information may be stored in a metadata portion of a widely supported image file format.

Abstract: Techniques relating to correction of image distortion caused by movement of a camera unit during image capture. In one embodiment, an apparatus may include a camera unit and a scaling circuit. The apparatus may be configured to calculate a shift value for a line of an image captured by the camera unit, where the shift value is indicative of an amount of movement of the camera unit during at least a portion of capture of the image. The scaling circuit may be configured to operate on the line starting at a line position that is based on the calculated shift value. The calculated shift value may be based on movement information generated by a motion sensor. The scaling circuit may include a digital differential analyzer and one or more multi-tap polyphase filters. The line position may be specified as a fractional pixel value.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing mid-frame blanking. A first portion of a frame is driven to a display and then a first mid-frame blanking interval is generated. Following this first mid-frame blanking interval, a second portion of the frame is driven to the display, followed by a second mid-frame blanking interval, followed by a third portion of the frame, and so on. Any number of mid-frame blanking intervals may be introduced in a given frame. During each mid-frame blanking interval, touch sensing is performed to detect touch events on the screen for in-cell touch type displays. For displays with touch sensors electrically separated from the display common voltage layer, special sense scan steps are performed during mid-frame blanking intervals. By performing touch sensing or special sense scan steps during a frame rather than only at the end of a frame, the performance of touch sensing is improved.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a system on a chip (SOC) includes a component that remains powered when the remainder of the SOC is powered off. The component may include a sensor capture unit to capture data from various device sensors, and may filter the captured sensor data. Responsive to the filtering, the component may wake up the remainder of the SOC to permit the processing. The component may store programmable configuration data, matching the state at the time the SOC was most recently powered down, for the other components of the SOC, in order to reprogram them after wakeup. In some embodiments, the component may be configured to wake up the memory controller within the SOC and the path to the memory controller, in order to write the data to memory. The remainder of the SOC may remain powered down.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a display pipe is configured to composite one or more frames of images and/or video sequences to generate output frames for display. Additionally, the display pipe may be configured to compress an output frame and write the compressed frame to memory responsive to detecting static content in the output frames is detected. The display pipe may also be configured to read the compressed frame from memory for display instead of reading the frames for compositing and display. In some embodiments, the display pipe may include an idle screen detect circuit configured to monitor the operation of the display pipe and/or the output frames to detect the static content.

Abstract: In an embodiment, hardware implementing a transcendental or other non-linear function is based on a series expansion of the function. For example, a Taylor series expansion may be used as the basis. One or more of the initial terms of the Taylor series may be used, and may be implemented in hardware. In some embodiments, modifications to the Taylor series expansion may be used to increase the accuracy of the result. In one embodiment, a variety of bit widths for the function operands may be acceptable for use in a given implementation. A methodology for building a library of series-approximated components for use in integrated circuit design is provided which synthesizes the acceptable implementations and tests the results for accuracy. A smallest (area-wise) implementation which produces a desired level of accuracy may be selected as the library element.
