Patent ID: 8111264

Claim:
A method implemented by a system for processing data that includes a plurality of primitives for display, comprising: a) determining, by the system, an object quality metric for a primitive; b) converting, by the system, the primitive into at least one fragment and associating each fragment with a pixel and an associated tile region of a display; c) determining, by the system, a tile quality level for the associated tile region based on both the object quality metric and a tile quality level capability; d) performing, by the system, a first anti-aliasing operation on the fragment, wherein the first anti-aliasing operation has a quality level based on the tile quality level, and wherein each fragment may be associated with different tile regions over a period of time such that the quality level of anti-aliasing performed on a given fragment may change as the fragment becomes associated with the different tile regions; and e) computing, by the system, one or more display parameters for the pixel.
