Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a display sub-system that has a plurality of image processing resources and control logic. The image processing resources include a plurality of image processing pipelines configured to operate in parallel, overlay logic coupled to receive image data from the plurality of image processing pipelines, and an image output port coupled to an output of the overlay logic with image data outputs configured to couple to one or more display devices. The control logic is dynamically configurable to assign each of the image processing resources to a selected one of a first control port and a second control port. The first control port is configured to be controlled exclusively by a first processor and the second control port is configured to be controlled exclusively by a second processor.

Abstract: An integrated fault-tolerant augmented area viewing system includes, for example, a subsystem processor for receiving a safety signal for blind spot monitoring from a blind spot sensor and for generating a subsystem processor video output signal in response to the received safety signal. Selector circuitry selects the subsystem processor video output signal or a master controller video output signal received from a master controller and generates a selected video output signal in response. The selector circuitry performs the selection of the video output signal selection in response to receiving a safety request signal generated in response to a user action. A buffer outputs the selected video output signal for displaying on a display for viewing by the user.

Abstract: In a digital device, activity of (or load on) one or more processors, peripherals and memory buses are measured. A power management framework operated in the digital device bases power settings in the digital device on the measured loads, and accordingly issues power management commands to change power consumption states of one or more of the processors, peripherals and memory buses. Some user applications (termed power aware applications) in the digital device provide a number identifying their application type to the power management framework, which thereby determines the resources required by the application. The power management commands issued by the power management framework ensure provision of the corresponding resources to the application, while also targeting minimization of power consumption in the digital device. In an embodiment, the digital device corresponds to a mobile phone.
