External display simulator
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for simulating an external display, comprising:
- generating display data to be displayed on an output device, wherein the display data is formatted in accordance with a display mode supported by the output device;
selecting an output destination to send the display data, wherein the output destination supports the display mode of the display data; and
sending the display data to the selected output destination, wherein the display data is verified at the output destination.

Abstract
An external display simulator is configured to internally verify data to be transmitted from a computing device to an output device by implementing display driver functionality. The external display simulator intercepts data output from an application executing on the computing device. The external display simulator supports many different display resolutions and modes. The external display simulator determines an appropriate display mode and forwards the data to a corresponding output destination. The data may then be compared to an expected result to determine whether the data is verified.

17. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for simulating an external display, the instructions comprising:
-
generating display data to be displayed on an output device, wherein the display data is formatted in accordance with a display mode supported by the output device;
selecting an output destination to send the display data based on the display data and the display mode, wherein the output destination supports the display mode of the display data, and wherein the output destination is not the output device; and
sending the display data to the selected output destination, wherein the display data is verified at the output destination. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
