Abstract

A method and apparatus for selective control of display data sequencing in a mobile computing device is disclosed. The method may include storing a plurality of display data sequencing instruction sets in a memory of the mobile computing device, each of the display data sequencing instruction sets being usable for transferring data in accordance with a different sequencing of display data than other ones of the display data sequencing instruction sets, receiving an indication of a particular type of display data sequencing to be used, selecting one of the display data sequencing instruction sets based on the received indication of the particular type of display data sequencing to be used, transferring data for display based on the selected one of the display data sequencing instruction sets, and controlling the transfer of data to the display device in order to synchronize the data transfer with the data and timing requirements of the display device.

Claims (30)

1. A method for selective control of display data sequencing in a mobile computing device, comprising:

storing a plurality of display data sequencing instruction sets in a memory of the mobile computing device, each of the display data sequencing instruction sets being usable for transferring display data in accordance with a different type of sequencing of display data than other ones of the display data sequencing instruction sets;

receiving an indication of a particular type of display data sequencing to be used;

selecting one of the display data sequencing instruction sets based on the received indication of the particular type of display data sequencing to be used;

transferring data for display based on the selected one of the display data sequencing instruction sets; and

controlling the transfer of data to the display device in order to synchronize the data transfer with data and timing requirements of the display device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication of a particular type of display data sequencing to be used is received from a display device.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the display device is physically separate from the mobile computing device.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the display device is a non-LCD display device.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the display device is a projection display device.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the display device is an eyewear display device.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile computing device is one of a mobile telephone, cellular telephone, a wireless radio, a portable computer, a laptop, an MP3 player, a satellite radio, a satellite television, a Digital Video Recorder (DVR), and a television set-top box.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particular type of display data sequencing is one of a Color Sequential data sequencing type, a Line Reversal data sequencing type, a Line and Frame Reversal data sequencing type, a Display Scaling data sequencing type, a Tiled Display data sequencing type, and a Line-by-Line data sequencing type.

9. An apparatus for selective access of display data sequencing in a mobile computing device, comprising:

a memory that stores a plurality of display data sequencing instructions sets, each of the display data sequencing instruction sets being usable for transferring display data in accordance with a different type of sequencing of display data than other ones of the display data sequencing instruction sets; and

a processor that receives an indication of a particular type of display data sequencing to be used, selects one of the display data sequencing instruction sets based on the received indication of the particular type of display data sequencing to be used, and causes transfer of data for display based on the selected one of the display data sequencing instruction sets.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the indication of a particular type of display data sequencing to be used is received from a display device.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the display device is physically separate from the mobile computing device.

12. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the display device is a non-LCD display device.

13. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the display device is a projection display device.

14. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the display device is an eyewear display device.

15. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the mobile computing device is one of a mobile telephone, cellular telephone, a wireless radio, a portable computer, a laptop, an MP3 player, a satellite radio, a satellite television, a Digital Video Recorder (DVR), and a television set-top box.

16. A mobile computing device, comprising:

a memory that stores a plurality of display data sequencing instructions sets, each of the display data sequencing instruction sets being usable for sequencing display data in accordance with a different type of sequencing of display data than other ones of the display data sequencing instruction sets; and

a processor that receives an indication of a particular type of display data sequencing to be used, selects one of the display data sequencing instruction sets based on the received indication of the particular type of display data sequencing to be used, and causes sequencing of data for display based on the selected one of the display data sequencing instruction sets.

17. The mobile computing device of claim 16 , wherein the indication of a particular type of display data sequencing to be used is received from a display device.

18. The mobile computing device of claim 17 , wherein the display device is a non-LCD display device.

19. The mobile computing device of claim 17 , wherein the display device is a projection display device.

20. The mobile computing device of claim 17 , wherein the display device is an eyewear display device.

21. The mobile computing device of claim 16 , wherein the mobile computing device is one of a mobile telephone, cellular telephone, a wireless radio, a portable computer, a laptop, an MP3 player, a satellite radio, a satellite television, a Digital Video Recorder (DVR), and a television set-top box.
