Abstract:
1. A nontransitory computer readable medium containing instructions for changing an output mode on an output device from a first output mode to a latency reduction mode, and wherein execution of the program instructions by one or more processors of a computer system causes the one or more processors to carry out a method, the method comprising: a) receiving a latency reduction mode initiation signal; b) automatically changing the output mode from the first output mode to the latency reduction mode in response to receipt of the latency reduction mode signal, wherein the latency reduction mode causes the output device to cease one or more processing operations on a set of content data displayed by the output device; c) receiving an end latency reduction mode signal; and d) automatically changing the output mode from the latency reduction mode to the first output mode in response to receipt of the end latency reduction mode signal, wherein the latency reduction mode initiation signal is a token that is received along with the content data that will be displayed by the output device, wherein the token is continuously received at regular intervals with subsequent content data received by the output device, and wherein the end latency reduction mode signal is the absence of a token in the content data received by the output device.
