Static frame display from a memory associated with a processor of a data processing device during low activity thereof

A data processing device comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory;
• and
• a driver component associated with at least one of the processor and an operating system executing on the data processing device, the driver component being configured to:
• initiate detection of an idle state of the processor,
• enable copying of raw display data in the processor related to a static frame to be displayed during the idle state into the memory upon detection of the idle state of the processor based on the static frame, along with state information of the data processing device,
• enable access to the copied raw display data in the memory to an output resource of the processor during the idle state of the processor,
• enable conversion of the copied raw display data into a format suitable for rendering on a display unit of the data processing device through the processor, and
• enable power gating of at least one engine of the processor during the idle state of the processor while maintaining the output resource and the memory in a powered up state to reduce a power consumption of the data processing device.

A non-transitory medium, readable through a data processing device and including instructions embodied therein that are executable through the data processing device, comprising:

• instructions to detect an idle state of a processor of the data processing device based on initiation thereof through a driver associated with at least one of the processor and an operating system executing on the data processing device;
• instructions to copy raw display data related to a static frame to be displayed during the idle state into a memory associated with the processor upon detection of the idle state of the processor based on the static frame, along with state information of the data processing device;
• instructions to provide access to the copied raw display data in the memory to an output resource of the processor during the idle state of the processor;
• instructions to convert the copied raw display data into a format suitable for rendering on a display unit of the data processing device through the processor;
• and
• instructions to power gate at least one engine of the processor during the idle state of the processor while maintaining the output resource and the memory in a powered up state to reduce a power consumption of the data processing device.
