Patent ID: 11915389
Assignee: ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 13:
14. A system, comprising:
at least one computer readable medium; and
at least one processor communicatively coupled to the at least one computer readable medium, the at least one processor configured to:
obtain a graphical image file, the graphical image file including an image, wherein the image includes at least one sequence of repeating pattern elements, each of the at least one sequence including the repeating pattern elements that are repeated along a linear direction; and
convert the graphical image file to at least one file including hardware directives that when executed cause a recreation of the image of the graphical image file to be drawn,
wherein a file size of the at least one file is smaller than the graphical image file,
wherein the graphical image file has a set of vector graphics for each repeating pattern element, wherein a given set of vector graphics for each repeating pattern element of the graphical image file is converted to a more compact set of vector graphics in the recreation of the image, wherein a given more compact set of vector graphics fully defines a given repeating pattern element from the graphical image file,

wherein the at least one processor being configured to convert the graphical image file to the at least one file comprises the at least one processor being configured to:
for a given sequence of the at least one sequence of repeating pattern elements, determine a length of the given sequence of repeating pattern elements;
for the given sequence, determine a straight-line length along the linear direction of one repeating pattern element of the repeating pattern elements;
for the given sequence, based at least on the length and the straight-line length, determine a quantity of the repeating pattern elements for the given sequence;
store repeating pattern element hardware directives that when executed cause the repeating pattern element to be drawn once; and
store binary progression hardware directives that when executed cause a binary progression of the repeating pattern element hardware directives to be called such that the given sequence of repeating pattern elements is drawn.
