  • Data-processing circuit and method for switching between application programs without an operating system
    Patent number: 7137121
    Abstract: A data-processing circuit includes first and second cooperating processors where one of the processors context switches between applications without running an operating system. In one implementation, the first processor operates under the control of an operating system to switch back and forth between executing a first application or portion thereof and executing a second application or portion thereof. And the second processor operates in a stand-alone mode to switch back and forth between the first application or a portion thereof and the second application or a portion thereof. In another implementation, the first processor runs a single application or portion thereof but no operating system, and the second processor operates in a stand-alone mode to switch back and forth between different applications or different portions of the same or different applications.
