  • Hybrid video and graphics system with automatic content detection process, and other circuits, processes, and systems
    Patent number: 9578336
    Abstract: A computing device (300) includes a storage (325) that over time is operable to include video and graphics content and the storage has a first set of instructions representing lossy video compression (130) and a second set of instructions representing lossless compression (120); and a processor (320) coupled with said storage (325), and said processor (320) operable to electronically analyze (110) at least a portion of the content for motion based on magnitudes of motion vectors and, on detection of a significant amount of motion, further operable to activate the first set of instructions (130) to compress at least the motion video, and otherwise to activate the second set of instructions representing lossless compression (120) to compress at least the graphics. Other devices, systems, and processes are disclosed.
