Patent ID: 8374240

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: classifier logic to categorize frames that represent an image as either reference frames or non-reference frames, where the categorization is based, at least in part, on motion vectors between the frames; wherein the categorization includes evaluating the motion vectors to produce a result by analyzing an amount of motion that exists across the frames and wherein the result indicates a cadence pattern of the frames; and wherein the non-reference frames are repeated frames in the cadence pattern; management logic to store the reference frames in a buffer and to delete the non-reference frames from the buffer; and image generation logic to reproduce the image by using the stored reference frames, wherein the image generation logic comprises: interpolation logic to perform an interpolation using the reference frames, wherein a number of interpolated frames generated between two reference frames is based on an output frequency and the cadence pattern and wherein each of the interpolated frames are interpolated based on a relative distance between the two reference frames where an interpolated frame is interpolated from a nearest reference frame of the two reference frames; monitor logic to determine that the interpolation using the nearest reference frame is complete; and administration logic that deletes the nearest reference frame from the buffer after the monitor logic determines that the interpolation using the nearest reference frame is complete.
