High data rate interface apparatus and method
First Claim
1. A method for routing pixel data from a scaled video stream packet within a client in a mobile display digital interface (MDDI) communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a predefined pixel content by the client from a host;
scaling the predefined pixel content to a specific size by the client;
providing a data attribute field with values that specify pixel data routing and display buffer locations;
sending the scaled pixel content to at least one specific display buffer location of the display buffers locations within the client; and
displaying the scaled pixel content in the at least one specific display buffer location.

Abstract
A data interface for transferring digital data between a host and a client over a communication path using packet structures linked together to form a communication protocol for communicating a pre-selected set of digital control and presentation data. The signal protocol is used by link controllers configured to generate, transmit, and receive packets forming the communications protocol, and to form digital data into one or more types of data packets, with at least one residing in the host device and being coupled to the client through the communications path. The interface provides a cost-effective, low power, bi-directional, high-speed data transfer mechanism over a short-range “serial” type data link, which lends itself to implementation with miniature connectors and thin flexible cables which are especially useful in connecting display elements such as wearable micro-displays to portable computers and wireless communication devices.

9. A computer readable medium comprising program instructions which are executed by a processor to implement pixel data to be routed from a scaled video stream packet within a client in a mobile display digital interface (MDDI) communication system, the computer readable medium comprising:
-
program instructions that cause a predefined pixel content be received by the client from a host; program instructions that cause the predefined pixel content be scaled to a specific size by the client; program instructions that cause a data attribute field to be provided with values that specify pixel data routing and display buffer locations; program instructions that cause the scaled pixel content be sent to at least one specific display buffer location, of the display buffers locations, within the client; and program instructions that cause the scaled pixel content in the at least one specific display buffer location be displayed. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
