A method of processing image data for transmittal to a display device involves receiving a frame of image data, the frame being divided into tile groups composed of tiles of pixels, each having a number of colour component values of a first colour space. Each tile includes a number of colour component planes of the first colour space having the colour component values for the pixels forming the tile. Each tile group is processed in an execution unit, formed by arithmetic logic units (ALUs) and a local shared memory, where each ALU includes dedicated register space for use solely by the ALU, and each tile of each tile group is processed by a number of the ALUs of the execution unit. Each ALU performs a reversible colour transformation (S1) on the colour component values from the first colour space to a second colour space and discards the remaining colour component values and then performs a discrete wavelet transformation (S2) on the colour component values of one colour component plane of the second colour space to produce wavelet coefficients, which are quantized (S3) and entropy encoded (S4) into variable length codes. The variable length codes for all the tiles of the tile group are assembled together for transmittal to a display device. Each ALU stores the data at each stage of the processing in its dedicated register space but not in the local shared memory of the execution unit.

Disclosed herein is a method of writing data to, and reading data from, one or more buffers. The method comprises: determining a write rate of writing data into a first buffer; determining a read rate of reading data from the first buffer; determining, using the write rate and the read rate, a portion of the first buffer; writing data into the portion of the first buffer; starting to read data from the first buffer when the writing of data to the portion of the first buffer has finished; and writing data into a remaining part of the first buffer, different from the portion of the first buffer. The portion of the first buffer is determined such that the reading of data from the first buffer does not overtake the writing of data into the first buffer.
Sensor information is received (S41) at a host device from a mobile device. A pose of the mobile device is then determined by the host device based on the received sensor information. The pose of the mobile device is compared with pose information (S42) of previous poses of the mobile device, each previous pose of the mobile device being associated with a performance level of the system for data transmitted from the host device and received and output at the mobile device having that previous pose. The host device then determines (S43) whether a performance level of the system for the mobile device having the determined pose is likely to be above or below a threshold of acceptability based on the comparison, and, if it is determined that the performance level is likely to be above the threshold of acceptability, setting (S44A) a low level of compression to be applied to the data so that quality of the data transmitted to the mobile device is high, but, if it is determined that the performance level is likely to be below the threshold of acceptability, setting (S44B) a high level of compression to be applied to the data so that quality of the data transmitted to the mobile device is low, but is more likely to be received and output properly by the mobile device.
A method of compensating for potential interruptions in a wireless spatially selective connection over which data at a first compression level is transmitted from a host device to a client device involves determining (S32) that an interruption to the wireless spatially selective connection over which data is being transmitted at a first compression level to a client device is starting or is due to start, compressing (S3Y3) the data at a second compression level that is higher than the first compression level, and forwarding (S34) the data compressed at the second compression level to a transmitting component for wireless spatially non-selective broadcast while the interruption to the spatially selective connection occurs. Determining that the interruption is due to start may involve analysing a historical record of previous interruptions to determine a periodicity of the previous interruptions or receiving information from the transmitting component that an interruption is expected to occur. Determining that the interruption is starting may involve determining that a buffer used for storing the data prior to transmittal is full, indicative that an interruption has commenced, or receiving information from the transmitting component that an interruption has commenced.

A method for processing data for display on a screen involves encoding, using a first colour space, a first portion of image data intended to be displayed on a first area of the screen and encoding, using a second colour space, a second portion of image data intended to be displayed on a second area of the screen. The encoded first and second portions of the image data are compressed, and transmitted over a link for display on the screen. By using different colour spaces to encode image data that is displayed in different parts of a screen, differences in a users vision and/or aberrations caused by display equipment may be accounted for and so provide an improved user experience. Using different colour spaces for different screen areas may also reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted, for example by encoding image data more effectively and/or allowing more efficient compression of data.

A method of determining relative position of an extended reality mobile display device connected to receive display data from a host device involves determining (S31), by the extended reality mobile display device, a position and orientation of the extended reality mobile display device at a transmit time and transmitting (S32) a first signal to the host device at the transmit time. The extended reality mobile display device then receives (S35) at a receive time a second signal transmitted (S34) from the host device upon receipt (S33) of the first signal. The extended reality mobile display device determines (S36) a position and orientation of the extended reality mobile display device at the receive time and determines a difference (S37) in the position and orientation of the extended reality mobile display device between the transmit and receive times.

A method at a client device for mitigating motion judder in frames of an image due to display data for a particular frame being unavailable at a required time at the client device. The method involves receiving (S35) the display data for a current frame n, and generating (S3Y3) the current frame n from the received display data. Motion vectors for some elements of the image in the current frame n are obtained (S3Y1). If it is determined that display data for the next frame n+1 is not available, the next frame n+1 is generated (S3N4) from either the current frame n or a previous frame n−m, where m=1, 2, 3, etc, adjusted based on an extrapolation (S3N3) of the motion vectors for the elements of the image in either the current frame n or the previous frame n−m.
A method for compressing display data is disclosed. The method comprises performing a wavelet transformation to obtain a general approximation coefficient and a plurality of detail coefficients for a group of pixels; determining whether to prioritise transmission of the general approximation coefficient over transmission of the detail coefficients based on whether there are sufficient resources available to enable a corresponding image frame to be ready for display and/or based on a time since the detail coefficients for a corresponding group of pixels were previously transmitted. If it is determined that transmission of the general approximation coefficient is to be prioritised over transmission of the detail coefficients, the method comprises either: transmitting only the general approximation coefficient, or compressing at least one detail coefficient so as to be more compressed than the general approximation coefficient and transmitting the general approximation coefficient and the at least one compressed detail coefficient.
Sensor information is received (S41) at a host device from a mobile device. A pose of the mobile device is then determined by the host device based on the received sensor information. The pose of the mobile device is compared with pose information (S42) of previous poses of the mobile device, each previous pose of the mobile device being associated with a performance level of the system for data transmitted from the host device and received and output at the mobile device having that previous pose. The host device then determines (S43) whether a performance level of the system for the mobile device having the determined pose is likely to be above or below a threshold of acceptability based on the comparison, and, if it is determined that the performance level is likely to be above the threshold of acceptability, setting (S44A) a low level of compression to be applied to the data so that quality of the data transmitted to the mobile device is high, but, if it is determined that the performance level is likely to be below the threshold of acceptability, setting (S44B) a high level of compression to be applied to the data so that quality of the data transmitted to the mobile device is low, but is more likely to be received and output properly by the mobile device.
A method provides pre-rendered information messages for display by a peripheral display unit connected to a base station over a data link. The method involves detecting that a data connection between the base station and the peripheral display unit is available, sending pre-rendered information messages from the base station to the peripheral display unit, and storing the pre-rendered information messages at the peripheral display unit for display in response to a status detected at the peripheral display unit. The base station may perform the pre-rendering of information messages in response to variation in configuration information relating to the peripheral display unit. The pre-rendered information messages may be paired with peripheral display unit statuses and the peripheral display unit may be configured so that, in the event that a particular status is detected, the corresponding pre-rendered information message is displayed without requiring data transmission from the base station.

Managing data for transportation is provided via storing data at a host device, where the data is processed and encapsulated into transport units having a maximum size. The data is divided and processed into processed portions of varying size. The processed portions are stored sequentially into an output buffer to form the transport units, with a potential start field space left between each processed portion. A set of processed portions stored in the output buffer is determined based on sizes of the processed portions, the set starting after a previous actual start field where the set has a size less than the maximum size and a potential start field space after a last of the processed portions in the set is replaced by an actual start field to define the set. Sets of processed portions delimited by actual start fields may then be output.

A method for processing data for display on a screen involves encoding, using a first colour space, a first portion of image data intended to be displayed on a first area of the screen and encoding, using a second colour space, a second portion of image data intended to be displayed on a second area of the screen. The encoded first and second portions of the image data are compressed, and transmitted over a link for display on the screen. By using different colour spaces to encode image data that is displayed in different parts of a screen, differences in a user's vision and/or aberrations caused by display equipment may be accounted for and so provide an improved user experience. Using different colour spaces for different screen areas may also reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted, for example by encoding image data more effectively and/or allowing more efficient compression of data.

A method of generating display data at a display control device for display on a movable display involves receiving and storing a current frame of display data from a host device. The current frame is then processed and output for display on the movable display. Sensor data from sensors associated with the movable display is received and stored, the sensor data indicating movement and/or position of the movable display. If it is determined that a next frame of display data is not ready at the display control device for processing and outputting to the movable display at a required time, then an estimated next frame of display data is generated using the stored current frame and the stored sensor data and the estimated frame of display data is output for display on the movable display. The sensor data may be received either before or after the current frame is received, stored, processed or output.
A method for compositing display data at a remote device to form an image for display involves the remote device receiving (S62) elements of the image, where the image includes display data forming a background layer, display elements forming a foreground layers and an overlay data layer. The remote device receives (S63) sensor information indicating one or more of a position of an eye of a viewer, a direction of focus of the eye of the viewer, and/or a position of a display. It then determines (S64) movement of a line of sight between the eye of the viewer and the display, determines an estimate of a future position of the line of sight at a future time based on the determined movement of the line of sight, and determines (S65) an adjustment to be made to the image based on the future position of the line of sight. The display elements of the foreground layer are composited (S66) relative to the display data of the background layer according to the determined adjustment and the composited image is forwarded (S67) for display at the future time.
A method involves receiving, at a host device, information indicative of available bandwidth on a variable bandwidth connection between the host device and a display control device, which may be based on monitoring a signal level on the connection, a link radio modulation mode, traffic on the connection, or the data rate of any return signals from the display control device. The method includes setting one or more parameters used to generate the display data that change compressibility of the display data based on the information, where compressibility of the display data affects efficiency of compression of the display data, and where the setting of the parameters may be based on a compression algorithm used when compressing the display data. The method includes generating the display data using the one or more parameters, compressing the display data, and transmitting the display data to the display control device.

Method and apparatus for determining whether an eye of a user of a head mounted display is directed at a fixed point
In virtual-reality display devices it is possible to use head movement as an input to compression, which assumes that the user is looking at something that is moving at approximately the same rate in the same direction as the user's head. This method determines whether an eye of a user of a head mounted display is directed at a relatively fixed point. The method involves detecting (S51) a movement of the user's head, including a lack of movement thereof, determining (S53) a direction of the movement of the user's head, detecting (S52) movement of at least one eye of the user, including a lack of movement thereof, and determining (S54) a direction of the movement of the user's eye. If the directions of movement of the user's head and at the user's eye are different (S55), within a predetermined threshold, it can be assumed that the user's eye is directed at a fixed point (S57), whereas if the directions of movement of the user's head and the user's eye are not different (S55), within a predetermined threshold, then it can be assumed that the user's eye is not directed at a fixed point (S56).
A method of controlling a wireless docking station, which has one or more peripheral devices connected thereto, which are controllable from a mobile device when the mobile device is docked with the wireless docking station. The method involves receiving (S41) a sensing signal indicating that a user is proximate the peripheral device(s) and detecting (S42) that a mobile device is within a predetermined range of the wireless docking station. An identification of the mobile device is determined and the user is requested (S43) to confirm that the user wants to dock the mobile device having the identification with the wireless docking station. When a confirmation signal (S44) is received, an authentication of the mobile device having the identification is permitted to be performed whereby the mobile device having the identification is docked (S47) with the wireless docking station if the authentication is successful.
A method of determining relative position of an extended reality mobile display device connected to receive display data from a host device involves determining (S31), by the extended reality mobile display device, a position and orientation of the extended reality mobile display device at a transmit time and transmitting (S32) a first signal to the host device at the transmit time. The extended reality mobile display device then receives (S35) at a receive time a second signal transmitted (S34) from the host device upon receipt (S33) of the first signal. The extended reality mobile display device determines (S36) a position and orientation of the extended reality mobile display device at the receive time and determines a difference (S37) in the position and orientation of the extended reality mobile display device between the transmit and receive times. The extended reality mobile display device then corrects display data received from the host device based on the determined difference in the position and orientation of the extended reality mobile display device, and displays the corrected display data.

Sensor information is received (S41) at a host device from a mobile device. A pose of the mobile device is then determined by the host device based on the received sensor information. The pose of the mobile device is compared with pose information (S42) of previous poses of the mobile device, each previous pose of the mobile device being associated with a performance level of the system for data transmitted from the host device and received and output at the mobile device having that previous pose. The host device then determines (S43) whether a performance level of the system for the mobile device having the determined pose is likely to be above or below a threshold of acceptability based on the comparison, and, if it is determined that the performance level is likely to be above the threshold of acceptability, setting (S44A) a low level of compression to be applied to the data so that quality of the data transmitted to the mobile device is high, but, if it is determined that the performance level is likely to be below the threshold of acceptability, setting (S44B) a high level of compression to be applied to the data so that quality of the data transmitted to the mobile device is low, but is more likely to be received and output properly by the mobile device.

A method of managing data involves storing data at a host device, where the data is to be processed and encapsulated into transport units having a maximum size for transport over a transmission medium to a client device. The data is divided into portions (41) and each portion is processed into processed portions (42) of data of varying size. The processed portions are stored sequentially into an output buffer to form the transport units, where processed portions (43) are stored with a potential start field space left between processed portions in the output buffer. A set of the sequential processed portions stored in the output buffer is determined based on sizes of the sequential processed portions, the sequence starting after a previous actual start field where the set has a size that does not exceed the maximum size for a transport unit and a potential start field space after a last of the sequential processed portions in the determined set is replaced by an actual start field to define (44) the set of sequential processed tiles as being of less than the maximum size (45) for a transport unit. The sets of processed portions in the output buffer delimited by actual start fields may then be output over the transmission medium.
A method of processing image data for transmittal to a display device involves receiving a frame of image data, the frame being divided into tile groups composed of tiles of pixels, each having a number of colour component values of a first colour space. Each tile includes a number of colour component planes of the first colour space having the colour component values for the pixels forming the tile. Each tile group is processed in an execution unit, formed by arithmetic logic units (ALUs) and a local shared memory, where each ALU includes dedicated register space for use solely by the ALU, and each tile of each tile group is processed by a number of the ALUs of the execution unit. Each ALU performs a reversible colour transformation (SI) on the colour component values from the first colour space to a second colour space and discards the remaining colour component values and then performs a discrete wavelet transformation (S2) on the colour component values of one colour component plane of the second colour space to produce wavelet coefficients, which are quantized (S3) and entropy encoded (S4) into variable length codes. The variable length codes for all the tiles of the tile group are assembled together for transmittal to a display device. Each ALU stores the data at each stage of the processing in its dedicated register space but not in the local shared memory of the execution unit.

A Virtual Reality or Augmented Reality (VR/AR) system includes a central control unit and a user display device. A method of processing visual information for display on the user display device involves comprising: determining (802) a first region and a second region of a frame of visual information, discarding (804) visual information corresponding to the second region of the frame, processing (806) visual information corresponding to the first region of the frame, obtaining (810) replacement visual information corresponding to the second region of the frame, displaying (812) the visual information corresponding to the first region of the frame on a first portion of the screen and displaying the replacement visual information on a second portion of the screen. The visual information of the first region of the frame is transmitted from the central control unit to the user display device subsequent to discarding the visual information corresponding to the second region of the frame. This is particularly useful when the information contained within the second region of the frame is not useful for the user experience.
A method of configuring a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection between a first and second devices, the USB connection comprising a plurality of data channels, each having a pair of signal links, each signal link including a port at either end of the connection, and a signal wire formed of one or more physical wires extending between corresponding ports. Each of the signal links are configured with a first direction for transmission of data. The first direction is determined based on an initial required data transmission capacity in each direction between the first and second devices. Thereafter, depending on required capacity in the different directions, a selection is made which of the signal links should change their direction of transmission from the first direction to a second direction and a redirection signal is sent to each of the selected signal links to cause the change in direction of transmission.

A method of managing display data, which involves, at a host device (11), receiving display data for a frame having a plurality of tiles of pixels to be displayed at a display device(12), wherein the frame is stored in a frame buffer (18) of the display device (12) and the display data is output in raster order from the frame buffer to be displayed on a display(13). A tile identification of each tile is made, including a location of the tile within the frame. An encoding order for encoding at least some of the tiles by an encoder (16) at the host device (11) is determined, where the encoding order may change during an encoding process. The encoding order is determined based on the tile identification and any of actual or estimated capabilities of the encoder (16) at the host device (11) or a decoder (17) at the display device(12), actual or estimated delays or losses in a transport mechanism between the host device (11) and the display device (12) or changes in the transport mechanism, actual or estimated area of interest of the display(13), and/or actual or estimated time when a particular tile is to be output from the frame buffer(18), so as to increase a probability that display data will be available at a location in the frame buffer (18) of the display device (12) prior to the time when the display data from that location is required for output from the frame buffer and that display data will be available in the frame buffer of the display device (12) for the area of interest.

By using different colour spaces to encode image data that is displayed in different parts of a screen differences in a user's vision and/or aberrations caused by display equipment may be accounted for and so provide an improved user experience. Using different colour spaces for different screen areas may also reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted, for example by encoding image data more effectively and/or allowing more efficient compression of data.

A method for compressing data comprising a stereoscopic pair of images which provide parallax, when viewed by left and right eyes of an observer, involves generating (S31) the stereoscopic pair of images, each image comprising a plurality of display elements. A disparity value (S32) is generated indicating an amount by which a location of each display element in a first image of the stereoscopic pair of images is displaced compared to a displaced location of the same display element in a second image of the stereoscopic pair of images, such that a plurality of disparity values is generated. The number of different disparity values present in the plurality of disparity values is then reduced (S34) to produce a reduced set of different disparity values. A particular disparity value is determined from the reduced set of different disparity values to be associated with each of the locations and/or displaced locations of the display elements, and compressed data (S35) is generated comprising the first image of the stereoscopic pair of images, the reduced set of different disparity values, and information indicating the particular disparity value associated with each of the locations and/or displaced locations to be used to regenerate a regenerated second image of the stereoscopic pair of images corresponding to the second image.

A method of processing display data involves dividing a frame of the display data into a plurality of tile groups, encoding each tile group to generate encoded tile group data, and encapsulating the encoded tile group data into a payload of a tile group atom (632). A time-to-live (TTL) value is generated for the tile group atom, and included in a transport header (638) of a transport unit (634) which includes the tile group atom (632). The transport unit (634) is written to an output buffer for transmission over a wireless link to a display device, and the method includes determining at the output buffer, based on the time-to-live value, whether to transmit the transport unit from the output buffer to the display device over the wireless link by comparing the TTL value against a reference value to determine whether the transport unit meets a transmission criterion, and either transmitting or discarding the transport unit if the transport unit meets, or does not meet, the transmission criterion.
A method of managing display data involves maintaining caches (25, 29) of most recently used tiles of display data at a host (21) and at a display control device (22). The caches (25, 29) are synchronised so that they contain the same data in the same locations. When the host (21) generates a tile that needs encoding and transmitting, it checks to see if that tile is already stored in the host cache (25). If so, it sends a cache ID to the display control device (22); otherwise, it encodes and sends the tile. When the display control device (22) receives data, it identifies it either as a cache ID or as an encoded tile. If it is a cache ID, the data is retrieved from the display control device cache (29) and sent for display (23); otherwise, it decodes the tile and sends it for display (23). Both caches (25, 29) are updated so that the tile is indicated as the most recently accessed item in each cache (25, 29).
