Patent Images
1. A display controller, comprising:
- a filter stage to receive an input image layer comprising a plurality of input image pixels, and to provide a plurality of output image pixels based on the plurality of input image pixels, wherein;
each pixel of the plurality of input image pixels includes marking information indicating safety relevant or non-safety relevant;
each pixel of the plurality of output image pixels includes marking information indicating safety relevant or non-safety relevant;
a particular output image pixel of the plurality of output image pixels is based on a group of more than one of the plurality of input image pixels; and
the marking information of the particular output image pixel is set by the filter stage to indicate safety relevant in response to all of the pixels of the group being marked as safety relevant; and
a verifier stage, coupled to the filter stage, to validate the plurality of output image pixels based on the marking information of an output image pixel indicating that the output image pixel is safety relevant, and based on reference data.

Abstract
The present application relates to a display controller and display system and a method of operating thereof. At a filtering stage display image data are generated on the basis of received pixel-mapped image data. The filtering operation accepts a plurality of pixels out of the received image data as input values to generate a pixel of the display image data as output value. It is further determined whether the plurality of pixels being the input values to the filtering operation are marked. If all pixels thereof are marked, the output pixel being the output value is marked. The marked pixels in the display image data are validated on the basis reference data.

16. A method of operating a display controller, said method comprising:
-
receiving an input image layer comprising a plurality of input image pixels comprising a safety relevant image part and a non-safety relevant image part, wherein the each pixel of the plurality of input image pixels includes marking information indicating safety relevant or non-safety relevant; performing a filtering operation on the received plurality of input image pixels, wherein the filtering operation provides a plurality of output image pixels based on the plurality of input image pixels; each pixel of the plurality of output image pixels includes marking information indicating safety relevant or non-safety relevant; a particular output image pixel of the plurality of output image pixels is based on a group of more than one of the plurality of input image pixels; and the marking information of the particular output image pixel is set by the filtering operation to indicate safety relevant in response to all of the pixels of the group being marked as safety relevant; generating display image data on the basis of the plurality of output image pixels; and validating the plurality of output image pixels based on the marking information of an output image pixel indicating that the output image pixel is safety relevant, and based on a basis reference data. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
