Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This technology relates to rendering content from discrete applications. In this regard, one or more computing devices may receive a global scene graph containing resources provided by two or more discrete processes, wherein the global scene graph is instantiated by a first process of the two or more discrete processes. The one or more computing devices may render and output for display, the global scene graph in accordance with the resources contained there.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A computer implemented method comprising: generating, by one or more computing devices, a first end-point for a communication channel that is provided to a process loaded by the one or more computing devices, and a second end-point for the communication channel that is provided to a multi-process compositor; and sending, by the one or more computing devices, commands from the first end-point to the second end-point. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the commands instruct the multi-process compositor to generate a set of resources. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the process provides commands to the multi-process compositor. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the commands instruct the multi-process compositor to generate nodes corresponding to resources. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the commands instruct the multi-process compositor to ignore or disallow certain commands. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the commands includes an identification value such that a resource map can correctly coordinate a delivery of a resource to a respective node. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the multi-process compositor is controlled to generate one or more global scene graphs. 8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: loading, by the one or more computing devices, a plurality of processes and the multi-process compositor. 9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: establishing, by the one or more computing devices, a session in the multi-process compositor for the process through the communication channel. 10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the session includes a resource map. 11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the multi-process compositor includes a resource map which maps each resource of a plurality of resources with respective nodes and processes associated with the resource. 12. A system comprising: one or more computing devices configured to: generate a first end-point for a communication channel that is provided to a process loaded by the one or more computing devices, and a second end-point for the communication channel that is provided to a multi-process compositor; and send commands from the first end-point to the second end-point. 13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the commands instruct the multi-process compositor to generate a set of resources. 14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the process provides commands to the multi-process compositor. 15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the commands instruct the multi-process compositor to generate nodes corresponding to resources. 16. The system of claim 12 , wherein the commands instruct the multi-process compositor to ignore or disallow certain commands. 17. The system of claim 12 , wherein each of the commands includes an identification value such that a resource map can correctly coordinate a delivery of a resource to a respective node. 18. The system of claim 12 , wherein the multi-process compositor is controlled to generate one or more global scene graphs. 19. The system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more computing devices are further configured to load a plurality of processes and the multi-process compositor. 20. The system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more computing devices are further configured to establish for the process a session in the multi-process compositor through the communication channel, wherein the session includes a resource map.
