Apple patents system to fix broken video frames in real time
Apple describes a system where one chip checks video data for missing or corrupted parts and sends a report to another chip. The second chip then identifies the specific broken frames and sends them again to ensure the video displays correctly.
In the filing’s own words
First integrated circuitry including image data rendering circuitry configured to generate image data and memory configured to store a dashboard including dashboard entries indicating a state of the image data to the image data rendering circuitry, wherein the image data rendering circuitry is configured to operate based at least in part on feedback from the dashboard.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A system comprising: a first integrated circuit configured to: provide feedback data indicative of missing or erroneous image data of image data; and a second integrated circuit configured to: identify one or more frames of the image data that comprise the missing or erroneous image data based on the feedback data; and repeat transmission of the one or more frames of the image data that comprise the missing or erroneous image data to the first integrated circuit.
