Patents by Inventor Dustin BYFORD

Dustin BYFORD has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10067732
    Abstract: Remote desktop servers include a display encoder that maintains a secondary framebuffer that contains display data to be encoded and transmitted to a remote client display and a list of display primitives effectuating updated display data in the secondary framebuffer. The display encoder submits requests to receive the list of drawing primitives to a video adapter driver that receives and tracks drawing primitives that, when executed, update a primary framebuffer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 8, 2016
    Date of Patent: September 4, 2018
    Assignee: VMware, Inc.

  • Patent number: 8441494
    Abstract: Remote desktop servers include a display encoder that maintains a secondary framebuffer that contains display data to be encoded and transmitted to a remote client display. The display encoder submits requests to update the display data in the secondary framebuffer to a video adapter driver that has access to a primary framebuffer whose display data is updated according to drawing commands received from applications running on the remote desktop servers. The video adapter driver utilizes a spatial data structure to track changes made to the display data located in regions of the primary framebuffer and copies the display data in those regions of the primary framebuffer to corresponding regions in the secondary framebuffer.
