  • Publication number: 20220244794
    Abstract: An example display system includes an on-screen display (OSD) circuit, an input/output (I/O) controller, and a map engine. The OSD circuit operates a functionality of a display device. The I/O controller routes input from a peripheral device to the OSD circuit when the OSD mode is active. The map engine causes activation of the OSD mode when an input sequence received by the I/O controller corresponds to an OSD mode activation sequence.
