Claim 10:
11. A computer-implemented method comprising:
presenting a first application and a second application, each of the first application and the second application executing at a first refresh rate;
responsive to receiving a request from the second application to temporarily boost the first refresh rate, determining to temporarily boost the first refresh rate to a second refresh rate, wherein the second refresh rate is higher than the first refresh rate;
transmitting a first signal to the first application to refresh first content presented on a user interface at the first refresh rate, wherein the first signal is transmitted in accordance with a virtualized refresh rate;
transmitting a second signal to the second application to refresh second content presented on the user interface at the second refresh rate, wherein the second signal is transmitted in accordance with a non-virtualized refresh rate; and
controlling the first application to refresh the first content at the first refresh rate upon receipt of the first signal, and the second application to refresh the second content at the second refresh rate upon receipt of the second signal.
