Publication number: 20140092123Abstract: When receiving register setting information about a graphic on which a drawing process is carried out, a drawing control unit 10 determines whether or not a dedicated drawing unit 30 or a common drawing unit 40 is in a busy state, and, when the dedicated drawing unit or the common drawing unit is in the busy state, compares data in a register 31a or 32a or a register 40a with the register setting information. When the result of the comparison shows that an update is needed, the register setting information is stored in a command buffer 12. When the busy state is released, the register 31a or 32a or the register 40a is updated on the basis of the register setting information stored in the command buffer 12.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2011Publication date: April 3, 2014Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Masaki Hamada, Yoshiyuki Kato, Akira Torii
