  • Method and apparatus for dynamically switching display drivers in mobile device operating system
    Patent number: 8127310
    Abstract: A method and a system for dynamically switching, without initialization, display drivers of a mobile telephone or personal digital assistant having a processing unit operative with a mobile device operating system, wherein a display driver interface manager is embedded with the operating system that is operative to receive captured video application program interface messages, which redirects values of the video API messages to an alternative video driver, enabling a remote video display device to display a reconstructed image based on the video API messages. The ability to dynamically switch from a primary display to a secondary display is desirable to prevent disruptions in display content, including current display view.
