Title: Application coordination
Inventor: MORTIMER DANIEL
IPC: G06F9/54
Filed: 2014-05-16
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of coordinating applications operating on a device, each application can communicate with the servers associated with the application and the servers associated with the other applications that provide other functions. The method starts by receiving information indicative of a function required by a first application, the required function is not provided by the first application and its associated servers. Next, a second application is identified that is capable of providing the required function with the servers associated with the second application. Then communication is initiated with the second application for the first application to utilise the required function provided by the second application. The information indicating the required function may be based on user inputs, and may be received by an application coordinator. The application coordinator may use a look-up table of the functionality of each application to identify an application with the required function.

Title: Graphics processing systems
Inventor: SANDEEP KAKARLAPUDI
IPC: G06T17/20
Filed: 2016-04-29
Abstract: Lists of graphics geometry (e.g. primitive lists) are generated (71) for each sub-region (e.g. tiles) of images representing some or all of the same view of a scene but at different resolutions (64, 65, 66), e.g. when rendering a foveated image. Lists are prepared for subregions of the image to be rendered at a first (e.g. higher) resolution, and these lists are also used when rendering subregions at different (e.g. lower) resolutions (72, 73, 74), e.g. by scaling down the geometry. The preparation of multiple lists for each resolution is thereby avoided. The rendered different resolution images may then appropriately combined or merged (composited) to provide an output foveated image (output frame) that is displayed. Two sets of plural different resolution images may be generated, one each for a left and right eye view, for stereoscopic rendering.
