Patent ID: 7450115

Claim:
A display process, comprising: generating GUI data in a Micro-Processor Unit (MPU); employing the MPU to predict first and second display coordinates of decoding data generated in a video CODEC in advance of transfer of GUI data from the MPU to the video CODEC; employing the MPU to save the predicted display coordinates at a prescribed register inside the video CODEC; employing the first and second predicted display coordinates as criteria to choose between GUI data of the MPU and display data inside the video CODEC by: (a) operating a multiplexer inside the video CODEC to selectively activate, according to the predicted display coordinates, a data bus operatively connected to transfer the GUI data from the MPU to the video CODEC through an LCD controller inside the MPU for performing a display; and (c) operating the multiplexer to selectively activate, according to the predicted display coordinates, another data bus operatively connected to transfer the display data inside the video CODEC through an LCD controller inside the video CODEC for performing the display.
