  • COMPOSITING APPLICATION CONTENT AND SYSTEM CONTENT FOR DISPLAY
    Publication number: 20110314412
    Abstract: Application content and system content are composited to create composited frames for display by drawing foreground application content into an application buffer, building a reconstruction buffer, drawing system user interface content on top of the foreground application content in the application buffer, and displaying a composited frame by sending the application buffer directly to display hardware for display. The reconstruction buffer contains portions of the foreground application content copied from the application buffer. When system user interface content is being updated, the reconstruction buffer is used to recreate the original foreground application content. Updated system user interface content and original foreground application content are then used to create additional composited frames for display.
