Abstract
A content processing apparatus compresses image data of content in a lossy manner and transmits the image data to a head-mounted display through an interface. An image processing integrated circuit of the head-mounted display transmits the image data to a display panel through an interface whose protocol is different from a protocol of the interface, without decoding and decompressing the image data. The display panel displays the image that has been decoded and decompressed after being transmitted through the interface.
Claims20
An image processing system comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- compress data of an image to be transmitted through a first interface;
- relay transmission of the data of the image from the first interface to a second interface with a different protocol;
- display the data of the image transmitted through the second interface,
- wherein the data of the image is relayed without decompressing the data of the image;
- decompress and display the data of the image;
- and
- output the data of the image to the display without waiting for acquisition of the data of the image for one frame.
An image processing integrated circuit, wherein the image processing integrated circuit is configured to:
- acquire data of an image that has been compressed and transmitted through a first interface;
- transmit the data of the image to a display panel through a second interface whose protocol is different from a protocol of the first interface;
- and
- transmit the data of the image without decompressing the data of the image and without waiting for acquisition of the data of the image for one frame.
An image processing method performed by an image processing system, the image processing method comprising:
- compressing data of an image to be transmitted through a first interface;
- relaying transmission of the data of the image from the first interface to a second interface with a different protocol;
- displaying the data of the image transmitted through the second interface,
- wherein the data of the image is relayed without decompressing the data of the image;
- decompressing and displaying the data of the image;
- and
- output the data of the image to the display without waiting for acquisition of the data of the image for one frame.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method, the method comprising:
- acquiring data of an image that has been compressed and transmitted through a first interface;
- and
- transmitting the data of the image to a display panel through a second interface whose protocol is different from a protocol of the first interface;
- and
- wherein the data of the image is transmitted without decompressing the data of the image and without waiting for acquisition of the data of the image for one frame.
