Abstract
A device of capturing display data is implemented in an electronic device. A first request for capture of display data associated with the display of the electronic device is received. The display is a composite image generated by a program from one or more raw data objects in the electronic device. When the first request is received, a backup of the display data, comprising the one or more raw data objects, is stored by the electronic device in form of a data structure in response to the first request.
Claims18
A method for troubleshooting a plurality of images displayed on a display of an electronic device, comprising:
- receiving, by the electronic device, a first request for data capture associated with a first of the images displayed on the display, wherein the first image is composed of and generated from a first image layer;
- in response to the first request, storing, by the electronic device, a first backup of display data comprising the first image, the first image layer, and a first timestamp thereof indicating when the first backup is stored;
- receiving, by the electronic device, a second request for data capture associated with a second of the images, wherein the second image is composed of a second image layer;
- in response to the second request, storing, by the electronic device, a second backup of display data comprising the second image and the second image layer, and a second timestamp thereof indicating when the second backup is stored;
- and
- transmitting, by the electronic device, the first backup with the first timestamp, and the second backup with the second timestamp to a computer for troubleshooting the displayed images captured at different times on the electronic device.
A method for troubleshooting a plurality of images displayed on a display of an electronic device, comprising:
- periodically setting, by the electronic device, a timer for counting for a time period;
- storing, by the electronic device, a backup of display data comprising a current displayed image and a related image layer, and a timestamp thereof indicating when the backup is stored in a buffer each time the timer expires, wherein the display data is locked to prevent any change until completion of the backup storage;
- and
- transmitting, by the electronic device, the backup with the timestamp to a computer for troubleshooting the displayed images captured at different times on the electronic device,
- wherein the current displayed image is composed of and generated from the related image layer.
An electronic device for troubleshooting a plurality of displayed images, comprising:
- a processor, receiving a first request for data capture associated with a
- first of the images displayed on a display, in response to the first request, storing a first backup of display data comprising the first image, a first image layer composing the first image, and a first timestamp thereof indicating when the first backup is stored, receiving a second request for data capture associated with a second of the images, in response to the second request, storing a second backup of display data comprising the second image and a second image layer composing the second image, and a second timestamp thereof indicating when the second backup is stored, and transmitting the first backup with the first timestamp, and the second backup with the second timestamp to a computer for troubleshooting the displayed images captured at different times on the electronic device.
An electronic device for troubleshooting a plurality of displayed images, comprising:
- a processor, periodically setting a timer for counting for a time period, storing a backup of display data comprising a current displayed image and a related image layer, and a timestamp thereof indicating when the backup is stored in a buffer each time the timer expires, and transmitting the backup with the timestamp to a computer for troubleshooting the displayed images captured at different times on the electronic device, wherein the display data is locked to prevent any change until completion of the backup storage,
- wherein the current displayed image is composed of and generated from the related image layer.
