Method and apparatus for concurrently displaying respective images representing real-time data and non-real-time data
First Claim
1. A system for concurrently displaying respective images representing real-time data and non-real-time data, comprising:
- a source of signals representing real-time data;
a source of signals representing non-real-time data;
a display device for displaying images;
a processor, coupled to the real-time data source, the non-real-time data source and the display device, the processor;
executing a windowing operating system controlling the operation of an application program for receiving non-real-time data and conditioning the display device to display an image representing the non-real-time data; and
executing a real-time display process, independent of the execution of the operating system, for receiving the real-time data and conditioning the display device to display an image representing the real-time data concurrently with the display of the non-real-time data.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for concurrently displaying respective images representing real-time data and non-real-time data operates by receiving non-real-time data and receiving real-time data. A windowing operating system is executed for controlling the operation of an application program which is responsive to the non-real-time data, for conditioning a display device to display respective images representing the non-real-time data. A real-time display process is executed concurrently with, but independently from, the windowing operating system, for conditioning the display device to display respective images representing the real-time data concurrently with the display of the non-real-time data.
