Patent number: 11688231Abstract: A gaming machine, system and method providing variable position display capable of display movement and an extendable screen responsive to gaming conditions. The gaming machine includes a cabinet, a variable position display, an extendable display screen, and a controller. The variable position display rotates, tilts, pans, or some combination of translation, rotation, tilting and panning, in relation to the cabinet and in response to at least one or more predefined gaming conditions. The controller initiates a movement sequence movement of the variable position display, from a first position to a second position, and initiates the game program tailored to retractably extend the extendable display screen with respect to the cabinet relatively to the movement of the variable position display, and present the game and game outcomes of the game on the variable position display in the second position.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2022Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Aristocrat Technologies, Inc.

Patent number: 11657483Abstract: There are many instances where a standard dynamic range (“SDR”) overlay is displayed over high dynamic range (“HDR”) content on HDR displays. Because the overlay is SDR, the maximum brightness of the overlay is much lower than the maximum brightness of the HDR content, which can lead to the SDR elements being obscured if those elements have at least some transparency. The present disclosure provides techniques including modifying the luminance of either or both of the HDR and SDR content when an SDR layer with some transparency is displayed over HDR content. A variety of techniques are provided. In one example, a fixed adjustment is applied to pixels of one or both of the SDR layer and the HDR layer. The fixed adjustment comprises decreasing the luminance of the HDR layer and/or increasing the luminance of the SDR layer. In another example, a variable adjustment is applied.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: ATI Technologies ULCInventors: Jie Zhou, David I. J. Glen

Patent number: 11631187Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a depth buffer pre-pass are disclosed. A rendering application uses a binning approach to render primitives of a virtual scene on a tile-by-tile basis, with each tile corresponding to a portion of the screen. The application causes a depth buffer pre-pass to be performed for the primitives of the tile before a pixel shader is invoked. During the depth buffer pre-pass, only the depth part of the virtual scene is rendered to determine which pixel samples are visible and which pixel samples are hidden. Then, the scene is redrawn, but the pixel samples that are hidden are not sent to the pixel shader. In cases where a relatively large percentage of primitives overlap, this technique increases the efficiency of the rendering application since pixel shading can be avoided for the pixel samples that are hidden.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2020Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignees: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., ATI Technologies ULCInventors: Jan Henrik Achrenius, Mika Tuomi, Kiia Kallio, Pazhani Pillai, Laurent Lefebvre
