Patent number: 8704732Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for controlling a plurality of displays to present an image split across the displays. For example, a host controller is described herein. The host controller receives, from a first display, a first display status that indicates a status of presentation of a first portion of an image by the first display and, from a second display a second display status that indicates a status of presentation of a second portion of the image by the second display. The host controller may compare the first and second display status and, in response to the comparison, communicate to at least one of the first and second displays a display adjustment configured to cause the respective display to adjust presentation of at least one of the first or second portion of the image.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2011Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Fariborz Pourbigharaz, Samson Sae-Young Kim, Ivan Wong Yin Yang
