Abstract: An image display system includes: a display device; an image supply device coupled to the display device in such a way as to be able to bidirectionally communicate and supplying an image signal; and an operation terminal having a plurality of operation buttons. The operation terminal transmits an operation signal in response to an operation on the operation button. The display device displays a first image supplied from the image supply device and a second image generated by the display device. On receiving the operation signal, the display device decides a degree of priority of the first image and the second image. The display device transmits a signal to stop updating the first image to the image supply device and executes processing based on the second image when the degree of priority of the second image is higher than the degree of priority of the first image.

Abstract: A novel image processing method is provided. In a display device in which a video signal is individually supplied to a screen divided into two, the entire screen is subjected to up-conversion processing after being divided, and another up-conversion processing is performed for a boundary portion of the screen divided into two. The divided up-conversion processing for the entire screen and the up-conversion processing for the boundary portion are performed in parallel with the use of a plurality of arithmetic units. The divided up-conversion processing for the entire screen and the up-conversion processing for the boundary portion can be performed using different algorithms.

Abstract: Embodiments of the subject matter described herein relate to a wireless programmable media processing system. In the media processing system, a processing unit in a computing device generates a frame to be displayed based on a graphics content for an application running on the computing device. The frame to be displayed is then divided into a plurality of block groups which are compressed. The plurality of compressed block groups are sent to a graphics display device over a wireless link. In this manner, both the generation and the compression of the frame to be displayed may be completed at the same processing unit in the computing device, which avoids data copying and simplifies processing operations. Thereby, the data processing speed and efficiency is improved significantly.

Abstract: A remote device utilizes ray tracing to compute a light field for a scene to be rendered, where the light field includes information about light reflected off surfaces within the scene. This light field is then compressed utilizing lossless or lossy compression and one or more video compression techniques that implement temporal reuse, such that only differences between the light field for the scene and a light field for a previous scene are compressed. The compressed light field data is then sent to a client device that decompresses the light field data and uses such data to obtain the light field for the scene at the client device. This light field is then used by the client device to compute global illumination for the scene. The global illumination may be used to accurately render the scene at the mobile device, resulting in a realistic scene that is presented by the mobile device.

Abstract: Providing of relevant information to a responder is described. A responder system receives alert data identifying an incident location. Available relevant data for the incident location is stored in the responder system.

Upon arriving within a localized area of the incident location, an IoT device operable within the localized area is identified and selected and a communications link therewith is established. First IoT device data is received from the selected IoT device, and based thereon third augmented reality information is generated.
