Abstract
A method comprising receiving sensor data from a sensor, obtaining image data from a graphical effects shader based on the sensor data, blending the image data with a plurality of application surfaces to create a blended image, and transmitting the blended image to a display. Also disclosed is a mobile node (MN) comprising a sensor configured to generate sensor data, a display device, and a processor coupled to the sensor and the device display, wherein the processor is configured to receive the sensor data, obtain image data generated by a graphical effects shader based on the sensor data, blend the image data with an application surface associated with a plurality of applications to create a blended image, and transmit the blended image to the display.
Claims23
A method comprising:
- receiving sensor data from a sensor;
- obtaining image data from a graphical effects shader based on the sensor data;
- blending the image data with a plurality of application surfaces to create a blended image;
- and
- transmitting the blended image to a display,
- wherein the sensor comprises a light sensor, wherein the blended image comprises a spotlight or an animated sparkle, and wherein the spotlight or the animated sparkle is displayed in response to a reduction in ambient light sensed by the light sensor.
A mobile node (MN) comprising:
- a sensor configured to generate sensor data, wherein the sensor comprises a light sensor that indicates environmental conditions in close proximity to the MN;
- a display;
- and
- a processor coupled to the sensor and the display, wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive the sensor data;
- obtain image data comprising a spotlight or an animated sparkle generated by a graphical effects shader, wherein the spotlight or the animated sparkle is generated in response to a reduction in ambient light measured by the light sensor;
- blend the image data with an application surface associated with a plurality of applications to create a blended image;
- and
- transmit the blended image to the display.
