  • Display wall layout optimization
    Patent number: 9177402
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system, method, and apparatus for optimally determining, for a layout of windows on a display wall of a display system, the quality of display content to display in each window without exceeding system resources. The display system receives display content from at least one source, at least one of the at least one source providing display content at multiple qualities. Displaying display content uses system resources, and displaying high quality display content uses more system resources than displaying low quality display content. A received layout defines an arrangement of windows on the display wall, each window directed to displaying display content from one source. An objective function defines the quality of display content displayed in each window. The objective function is optimized to determine an optimized layout that does not exceed system resources.
