  • Display system with a virtual display
    Patent number: 9940909
    Abstract: A system for generating a virtual display that is displayed on an existing monitor using a memory (e.g., graphics processing unit (GPU) memory, random access memory (RAM), etc.) of a connected device (e.g., a computer) as a frame buffer for the virtual display. For example, the virtual display may use the RAM or the memory of the GPU of the connected device as a second frame buffer to generate the frames displayed in the virtual display. The virtual display is not a physical display and, thus, does not require any additional hardware or physical space. Rather, the virtual display is displayed on a pre-existing display. The pre-existing display is also used to display the frames generated in a first frame buffer.
