Abstract
In response to receiving user-interface activity information from a portable electronic device that specifies user selection of a content source, an audio/video (A/V) hub provides a request for high-definition multimedia-interface (HDMI) content to the content source based on the user selection. When the A/V hub receives the HDMI content from the content source, the A/V hub provide the HDMI content and display instructions to an A/V display device as frames with the HDMI content are received from the content source, so that the HDMI content is displayed in a tiled window on the display in the A/V display device while other HDMI content from another content source is displayed on the display.
Claims20
An electronic device, comprising:
- an input port;
- an output port;
- one or more antennas;
- an interface circuit communicatively coupled to the input port, the output port and the one or more antennas;
- memory;
- and
- one or more integrated circuits, coupled to the interface circuit and the memory, configured to:
- receive at least two input data streams that include full frames of first video content and full frames of second video content, wherein the input data streams correspond to a high-definition format;
- generate an output data stream, having a data rate that is less than a threshold value associated with swapping data in the memory and that is compatible with a high-definition multimedia-interface (HDMI) format, which includes frames of scaled first video content, frames of scaled second video content and display instructions that specify a first tiled window associated with the scaled first video content and a second tiled window associated with the scaled second video content, wherein the scaled first video content and the scaled second video content have the high-definition format and include component channels, and wherein the scaled first video content corresponds to the first video content and the scaled second video content corresponds to the second video content;
- and
- provide, via the interface circuit, the output data stream for a display device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for use in conjunction with an electronic device, the computer-readable storage medium storing a program module that, when executed by the electronic device, to provide an output data stream by causing the electronic device to perform one or more operations comprising:
- receiving at least two input data streams that include full frames of first video content and full frames of second video content, wherein the input data streams correspond to a high-definition format;
- generating, via one or more integrated circuits, the output data stream, having a data rate that is less than a threshold value associated with swapping data in memory in the electronic device and that is compatible with a high-definition multimedia-interface (HDMI) format, which includes frames of scaled first video content, frames of scaled second video content and display instructions that specify a first tiled window associated with the scaled first video content and a second tiled window associated with the scaled second video content, wherein the scaled first video content and the scaled second video content have the high-definition format and include component channels, and wherein the scaled first video content corresponds to the first video content and the scaled second video content corresponds to the second video content;
- and
- providing, via an interface circuit in the electronic device, the output data stream for a display device.
A method for providing an output data stream, wherein the method comprises:
- by an electronic device:
- receiving at least two input data streams that include full frames of first video content and full frames of second video content, wherein the input data streams correspond to a high-definition format;
- generating, via one or more integrated circuits, the output data stream, having a data rate that is less than a threshold value associated with swapping data in memory in the electronic device and that is compatible with a high-definition multimedia-interface (HDMI) format, which includes frames of scaled first video content, frames of scaled second video content and display instructions that specify a first tiled window associated with the scaled first video content and a second tiled window associated with the scaled second video content, wherein the scaled first video content and the scaled second video content have the high-definition format and include component channels, and wherein the scaled first video content corresponds to the first video content and the scaled second video content corresponds to the second video content;
- and
- providing, via an interface circuit in the electronic device, the output data stream for a display device.
