This disclosure relates generally to rendering content on electronic devices and, more particularly, to content fidelity adjustment based on user interaction.
Workspaces such as online digital whiteboard collaboration tools present multiple types of content on displays to multiple users. Users typically focus on one region of the workspace at a time.
In general, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawing(s) and accompanying written description to refer to the same or like parts. The figures are not to scale.
Workspace providers supply or support services and applications including, for example, cloud-based applications to enable a plurality of users to edit or share work and other content in a collaborative whitespace or environment. This format is the digital version of an in-person project room and can provide a greater level of alignment on chronological order and hierarchy of information. In some instances, there are a number of challenges for rendering high quality content for the user and their collaborators to edit and share in real-time. For example, the size and complexity of the applications lend to a relatively larger risk of lagging content based on bandwidth affordances. Some efforts to reduce bandwidth constraints also reduce the fidelity of the content presented via the application.
With these types of collaboration spaces, the user will focus, hover, and/or interact with specific spaces or panels of content of the collaboration page or room. For the content that the user might not be looking at or interacting with, the content does not have to be updated and/or refreshed in real time. In addition, content that the user is not interacting with does not have to be at the highest resolution. In some examples, the workspace includes a plurality of windows of content where one, more, and/or each of the windows is served from a cloud construct or other network, and one, more, and/or each window can be its own microservice with its own cloud resource pool. Windows that are not being actively focused on, hovered overed, and/or otherwise interacted with can drop to a lower refresh-rate, or resolution, or color bit depth. This content, thus, is allowed to reduce their required quality of service (QoS) guarantee. On the other hand, in some examples, the applications or other content that are actively being viewed or interacted with are to serve a full and complete experience with a relatively higher QoS. In some examples, the content of active engagement is served with the highest QoS possible. With different QoS delivered for different content, the bandwidth served from the cloud configuration or other network configuration has different dynamic content aspects depending on where the user is focused.
The examples disclosed herein improve the user experience by leveraging user interaction data including user action patterns and behavior to intelligently optimize shared workspaces including workspaces presented by cloud-based services. In some examples, the user-attentiveness or interaction data is collected and passed to the cloud services. Those microservices or other content that are within the user's focus region will be at the higher QoS than content outside of the focus region. The user interaction data is dynamically used to reduce bandwidth requirements and perceived lag of content loading while maintaining content fidelity. In the examples disclosed herein, user interaction data is used to reduce the pipeline of data transmitted from the workspace provider to the client device. In some examples, the workspace provider prioritizes bandwidth for delivery of content on which the user is focused with high quality to preserve its fidelity while content on which the user is not focused is delivered with a lower quality, which affects its fidelity. For example, if the workspace includes multiple applications or microservices, the workspace provider may send high quality data to the client device for the microservice on which the user is focused. In such examples, lower quality data or less data may be transmitted for microservices on which the user is not focused. The microservice on which the user is focused has a high fidelity and may appear larger, full-screen, clearer, louder, etc. One the other hand, the microservices on which the user is not focused has lower fidelity and may appear frozen, delayed, pixelated, in soft focus or out of focus entirely, muted, etc. By passing the user interaction information back to the server, a symbiotic cloud/client relationship can form where the cloud server(s) are only serving content of interest to the client end-user. In some examples, to improve the bandwidth even further, a lower resolution instance of the focused microservices or other content can be provided with the client applying a super-resolution effect to the content in the region of focus.
As used herein, “content” is used to describe any type of audio and/or visual graphics, texts, images, sounds, and/or other types of media that may be presented through an electronic device. Content includes applications, programs, panels, services, microservices, and components thereof.
As used herein “fidelity” and “quality” maybe used interchangeably to describe a condition of the content. The fidelity or quality of the content is based on factors such as, for example, completeness, transmission rates, refresh rates, etc.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, descriptors such as “first,” “second,” “third,” etc., are used herein without imputing or otherwise indicating any meaning of priority, physical order, arrangement in a list, and/or ordering in any way, but are merely used as labels and/or arbitrary names to distinguish elements for ease of understanding the disclosed examples. In some examples, the descriptor “first” may be used to refer to an element in the detailed description, while the same element may be referred to in a claim with a different descriptor such as “second” or “third.” In such instances, it should be understood that such descriptors are used merely for identifying those elements distinctly that might, for example, otherwise share a same name.
As used herein, the phrase “in communication,” including variations thereof, encompasses direct communication and/or indirect communication through one or more intermediary components, and does not require direct physical (e.g., wired) communication and/or constant communication, but rather additionally includes selective communication at periodic intervals, scheduled intervals, aperiodic intervals, and/or one-time events.
As used herein, “processor circuitry” is defined to include (i) one or more special purpose electrical circuits structured to perform specific operation(s) and including one or more semiconductor-based logic devices (e.g., electrical hardware implemented by one or more transistors), and/or (ii) one or more general purpose semiconductor-based electrical circuits programmed with instructions to perform specific operations and including one or more semiconductor-based logic devices (e.g., electrical hardware implemented by one or more transistors). Examples of processor circuitry include programmed microprocessors, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) that may instantiate instructions, Central Processor Units (CPUs), Graphics Processor Units (GPUs), Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), XPUs, or microcontrollers and integrated circuits such as Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For example, an XPU may be implemented by a heterogeneous computing system including multiple types of processor circuitry (e.g., one or more FPGAs, one or more CPUs, one or more GPUs, one or more DSPs, etc., and/or a combination thereof) and application programming interface(s) (API(s)) that may assign computing task(s) to whichever one(s) of the multiple types of the processing circuitry is/are best suited to execute the computing task(s).
The workspace provider 102 provides workspaces, microservices, apps, programs, and/or other types of content over the network 105 for consumption by the client devices 104. The client devices 104 may be any computing devices, such as for example, a desktop personal computer, a laptop, a tablet computer, a smartphone, a wearable device, etc.
The interaction between the client devices 104 and the workspace provider take place via the network 105. In some examples, the network 105 is the Internet, an intranet, a wide area network, a local area network, a personal area network, and/or some combination thereof. In some examples, the workspace provider 102 implements a cloud content sharing service. In some examples, the cloud-based service is part of an example cloud computing architecture that includes a front end component and a back end component. The front end component is seen by the client device 104 via, for example, a web browser to access the internet or other interface. In some examples, the back end component of the example cloud computing architecture includes processers, servers, and data storage devices.
The workspace provider 102 and the client 104 of
In the illustrated example, the workspace provider 102 includes example content fidelity adjustment circuitry 106. The content fidelity adjustment circuitry 106 includes example rendering circuitry 108, example interface circuitry 110, example region of focus comparator circuitry 112, and example quality level determination circuitry 114. In the illustrated example, the client 104 include example interface circuitry 118, example regions of focus determination circuitry 120, an example display 122, and one or more example sensors 124.
The workspace provider 102 provides a workspace for the client 104. The rendering circuitry 108 constructs and renders a workspace for transmission via the interface circuitry 110 to the client 104 and display at the display 112 of the client electronic device 116. In some examples, the workspace is rendered and transmitted to multiple client electronic devices 116. In some examples, the different client electronic devices 116 show the same workspace including, for example, when the users of the respective client device 116 are working in collaboration. In some examples, some client electronic devices 116 show the same portions of a workspace while their individual displays 112 include other portions of a workspace that are different. In other words, a client 104 may have a first subset of the content of a workspace shared with another client 104 for a collaboration while a second subset of the workspace is different than that of the other client 104 for work or other projects that are not collaborative and/or are collaborative with other people.
An example workspace 200 is shown in
The interface circuitry 118 of the client electronic device 116 receives, obtains, and/or accesses the workspace constructed and rendered by the rendering circuitry 108. The display 122 presents the workspace to the client 104.
One or more sensors 124 of the client electronic device 116 gather data from the client's use of the client electronic device 116. For example, the one or more sensors 124 includes sensors that gather data related to a user's actions and/or behaviors that indicate user interaction with the electronic device. The sensors can include a microphone, a camera, an infrared sensors, an eye gaze tracker, an optical sensor, a strain gauge, circuitry to detect operations of the client electronic device 116, a capacitive sensor, and/or other types of sensors or combinations of sensors. The activity and behavior detected by the one or more sensors 124 include, for example, user presence at the client electronic device 116, a head position, an eye gaze, a touch on a screen, a touch on a trackpad, a hover of a cursor, a movement of a mouse, a click, a grasp of a stylus, a key stroke, a voice stream, a verbal command, a position of a display panel, an operating status of an application or program, a zoom in or out, and/or other interactions with the client electronic device 116.
The region of focus determination circuitry 120 determines a region of focus on the display 122 based on the user interaction data gathered by the one or more sensors 124. The workspace 200 presented on the display 122 includes a plurality of content. In some examples, the workspace 200 includes a plurality of microservices. In some examples, the region of focus determination circuitry 120 identifies first content including, for example, a first set of the microservices presented in the region of focus and identifies second content including, for example, a second set of the microservices presented outside of the region of interest.
Additionally or alternatively, the client electronic device 116 transmits the data related to or indicative of the region of focus to the content fidelity adjustment circuitry 106. In some examples, the region of focus comparator circuitry 112 receives, access, or obtains notification of the region of focus on the display 122 of the client electronic device 116 presenting the workspace. In some examples, the region of focus comparator circuitry 112 identifies first content including, for example, a first set of the microservices presented in the region of focus and identifies second content including, for example, a second set of the microservices presented outside of the region of interest. Thus, content within the region of focus and content outside of the region of focus may be determined or identified locally at the client 104 or remotely at the workspace provider 102.
Based on the region of focus, the quality level determination circuitry 114 sets a first quality level for first content in the region of focus and sets a second quality level for second content outside of the region of interest, the second quality level lower than the first quality level. In some examples, the rendering circuitry 108 initially renders the entire workspace at a relatively higher quality level, as disclosed above. In such examples, all aspects of the workspace may appear clear and intelligible to the user. In other examples, the rendering circuitry 108 initially renders the workspace with a relatively lower quality level. Other examples may include a combination of quality levels in the initial rendering of the workspace. With client feedback regarding the region of focus, and the set quality levels determined by the quality level determination circuitry 114, the rendering circuitry 108 renders the workspace as an adjusted workspace with the first quality level and the second quality level. The content fidelity adjustment circuitry 106 transmits the adjusted workspace to the client 104 via, for example, the interface circuitry 110.
In some examples, the content fidelity adjustment circuitry 106 transmits a first amount of data to transmit the initial workspace and transmits a second amount of data to transmit the adjusted workspace that has been adjusted based on the region of focus. In some examples, when the initial rendered workspace includes all the content at a relatively high quality, the second amount of data transmitted with the adjusted workspace is less than the first amount of data transmitted with the initial workspace. In other examples, when the initial rendered workspace includes all the content at a relatively low quality, the second amount of data transmitted with the adjusted workspace is greater than the first amount of data transmitted with the initial workspace.
There are many parameters that may be adjusted by the content fidelity adjustment circuitry 106. For example, the quality level may be a sharpness or focus where the higher quality level is in focus and the lower quality level is out of focus. In some examples, the quality level is a size of the content window where the higher quality level is a larger window, and the lower quality level is a smaller window. In some examples, the quality level is a rate at which the content is downloaded or refreshed, and the higher quality level is a first refresh rate and the second quality level is a second refresh rate, the second refresh rate less frequent than the first refresh rate. In some examples, the quality level is a frame rate at which the content is presented, and the higher quality level is a first frame rate and the second quality level is a second frame rate, the second frame rate less than the first frame rate. In some examples, the first frame rate is 24 frames per second. In some examples, the quality level is a volume, where the higher quality level is a louder or an audible volume and the lower quality level is a quieter volume or mute. In some examples, the quality level is a brightness, and the higher quality level is brighter than the lower quality level.
The display 122 of the client electronic device 116 presents content (e.g., a first set of microservices) in the region of interest with a higher quality level as rendered by the rendering circuitry 108 in accordance with the quality level determination circuitry 114. The display 122 of the client electronic device 116 presents content (e.g., a second set of microservices) outside of the region of interest with a lower quality level as rendered by the rendering circuitry 108 in accordance with the quality level determination circuitry 114.
The quality level determination circuitry 114 determined that the areas of content 204, 206, 208, 210 outside of the region of focus should appear out of focus and/or partially or fully obscured. The rendering circuitry 108 reconstructed the workspace 200 such that the areas of content 204, 206, 208, 210 would appear at the lower quality. In other words, the QoS for the other microservices in the areas of content 204, 206, 208, 210 are reduced, allowing these services and the client 104 to save power and bandwidth transmitted to the client 104.
The region of focus determination circuitry 120 continues to monitor data from the sensor(s) 124 to identify changes in a user's region of focus. The region of focus comparator circuitry 112 compares details of the region of focus to determine when there are changes in the region of focus. A change in the region of focus prompts reassessment of what quality levels of the different content in the workspace is to be presented and re-rendering of the content in accordance with the updated quality levels. Thus, the quality levels of the different areas of content change over time as the user's focus changes throughout the workspace. For example, if the user continues to focus on the area of content 202, the workspace may remain with the quality levels shown in
In some examples, the region of focus determination circuitry 120 performs a confirmation of the change from in the region of focus after an amount of time. In such examples, the region of focus determination circuitry 120 prevents transmission of a notification of a change in the region of focus when the change in the region of focus does not last for at least a minimal or threshold amount of time. The region of focus determination circuitry 120 enables or otherwise allows transmission of a notification of a change in the region of focus when the change in the region of focus satisfies at least the minimal or threshold amount of time. In some examples, the region of focus comparator circuitry 112 performs a confirmation of the change from in the region of focus after an amount of time. In such examples, the region of focus comparator circuitry 112 prevents redetermination of quality levels and re-rendering of the workspace when the change in the region of focus does not last for at least a minimal or threshold amount of time. In addition, the region of focus comparator circuitry 112 enables or otherwise allows redetermination of quality levels and re-rendering of the workspace when the change in the region of focus satisfies the minimal or threshold amount of time. In these examples, the system 100 for content fidelity adjustment prevents changes in the workspace based on relatively minor or fleeting changes in focus such as, for example, if the user momentarily looks away from the display 122.
In some examples, the workspace provider 102 transmits the workspace to a plurality of clients 104. Different ones of the client devices 104 may have different regions of focus. In such examples, first content on a first client electronic device may be presented at a higher quality, and second content on a second client electronic device different than the first content may be presented at a higher quality. In such examples, the workspace provider 102 transmits workspaces with different types of content presented at different quality levels to different clients 104. Also, in some examples, the quality levels of the different content on the different client electronic devices may shift asynchronously depending on the specific client's region of focus. In some examples, there may be multiple clients viewing the same workspace but with different regions of focus. In such examples, the QoS for each application or microservice is only reduced if that application or microservice is within none of the regions of focus for any of the clients.
In other examples, different ones of the clients 104 may have the same regions of focus. For example, multiple clients may collaborate in a workspace and conduct a video conference. In such examples, first content on a first client electronic device may be presented at a higher quality, and second content on a second client electronic device, which is the same as the first content on the first user device, also is presented at the higher quality. In such examples, the workspace provider 102 transmits workspaces with the same content presented at the same relatively higher quality level to the different clients 104.
In some examples, the content fidelity adjustment circuitry 106 causes an adjusted workspace to be rendered based on a time of day. For example, a client 104 may have a calendar entry that indicates a meeting start time. In this example, the content fidelity adjustment circuitry 106 causes the rendering circuitry 108 to render the workspace with the program or application via which the meeting is to be attended to be presented at a higher quality (e.g., larger on the display 122 and in clearer focus) when the meeting time approaches.
In some examples, bandwidth requirements are reduced by implementing super resolution at the client 104. For examples, videos and/or images may be upscaled by the client electronic device 116 based on the region of focus. Thus, the rendering circuitry would not have to implement super resolution of any content before the content fidelity adjustment circuitry 106 transmits the workspace. Rather, the enhanced super resolution can occur on the client side and save bandwidth during transmission of the workspace.
The examples may also be applied to other compute-focused tasks. For example, microservices that include real time artificial intelligence inferencing requirements may implement the teachings of disclosure. For example, an application that implements face beautification may cause the beautification processes to stop while the microservice is outside of a region of focus.
While an example manner of implementing the workspace provider 102 and client 104 are illustrated in
A flowchart representative of example hardware logic circuitry, machine readable instructions, hardware implemented state machines, and/or any combination thereof for implementing the workspace provider and the client 104 of
The machine readable instructions described herein may be stored in one or more of a compressed format, an encrypted format, a fragmented format, a compiled format, an executable format, a packaged format, etc. Machine readable instructions as described herein may be stored as data or a data structure (e.g., as portions of instructions, code, representations of code, etc.) that may be utilized to create, manufacture, and/or produce machine executable instructions. For example, the machine readable instructions may be fragmented and stored on one or more storage devices and/or computing devices (e.g., servers) located at the same or different locations of a network or collection of networks (e.g., in the cloud, in edge devices, etc.). The machine readable instructions may require one or more of installation, modification, adaptation, updating, combining, supplementing, configuring, decryption, decompression, unpacking, distribution, reassignment, compilation, etc., in order to make them directly readable, interpretable, and/or executable by a computing device and/or other machine. For example, the machine readable instructions may be stored in multiple parts, which are individually compressed, encrypted, and/or stored on separate computing devices, wherein the parts when decrypted, decompressed, and/or combined form a set of machine executable instructions that implement one or more operations that may together form a program such as that described herein.
In another example, the machine readable instructions may be stored in a state in which they may be read by processor circuitry, but require addition of a library (e.g., a dynamic link library (DLL)), a software development kit (SDK), an application programming interface (API), etc., in order to execute the machine readable instructions on a particular computing device or other device. In another example, the machine readable instructions may need to be configured (e.g., settings stored, data input, network addresses recorded, etc.) before the machine readable instructions and/or the corresponding program(s) can be executed in whole or in part. Thus, machine readable media, as used herein, may include machine readable instructions and/or program(s) regardless of the particular format or state of the machine readable instructions and/or program(s) when stored or otherwise at rest or in transit.
The machine readable instructions described herein can be represented by any past, present, or future instruction language, scripting language, programming language, etc. For example, the machine readable instructions may be represented using any of the following languages: C, C++, Java, C#, Perl, Python, JavaScript, HyperText Markup Language (HTML), Structured Query Language (SQL), Swift, etc.
As mentioned above, the example operations of
“Including” and “comprising” (and all forms and tenses thereof) are used herein to be open ended terms. Thus, whenever a claim employs any form of “include” or “comprise” (e.g., comprises, includes, comprising, including, having, etc.) as a preamble or within a claim recitation of any kind, it is to be understood that additional elements, terms, etc., may be present without falling outside the scope of the corresponding claim or recitation. As used herein, when the phrase “at least” is used as the transition term in, for example, a preamble of a claim, it is open-ended in the same manner as the term “comprising” and “including” are open ended. The term “and/or” when used, for example, in a form such as A, B, and/or C refers to any combination or subset of A, B, C such as (1) A alone, (2) B alone, (3) C alone, (4) A with B, (5) A with C, (6) B with C, or (7) A with B and with C. As used herein in the context of describing structures, components, items, objects and/or things, the phrase “at least one of A and B” is intended to refer to implementations including any of (1) at least one A, (2) at least one B, or (3) at least one A and at least one B. Similarly, as used herein in the context of describing structures, components, items, objects and/or things, the phrase “at least one of A or B” is intended to refer to implementations including any of (1) at least one A, (2) at least one B, or (3) at least one A and at least one B. As used herein in the context of describing the performance or execution of processes, instructions, actions, activities and/or steps, the phrase “at least one of A and B” is intended to refer to implementations including any of (1) at least one A, (2) at least one B, or (3) at least one A and at least one B. Similarly, as used herein in the context of describing the performance or execution of processes, instructions, actions, activities and/or steps, the phrase “at least one of A or B” is intended to refer to implementations including any of (1) at least one A, (2) at least one B, or (3) at least one A and at least one B.
As used herein, singular references (e.g., “a”, “an”, “first”, “second”, etc.) do not exclude a plurality. The term “a” or “an” object, as used herein, refers to one or more of that object. The terms “a” (or “an”), “one or more”, and “at least one” are used interchangeably herein. Furthermore, although individually listed, a plurality of means, elements or method actions may be implemented by, e.g., the same entity or object. Additionally, although individual features may be included in different examples or claims, these may possibly be combined, and the inclusion in different examples or claims does not imply that a combination of features is not feasible and/or advantageous.
The interface circuitry 118 of the client electronic device 116 of the client 104 accesses, obtains, and/or receives the workspace (block 406). The display 122 presents the workspace to the user (block 408). The one or more sensors 124 detect if there is user interaction with the client electronic device 116 (block 410). The user interaction may include a user presence, an eye gaze, and well as input into the client electronic device 116. If the one or more sensor(s) 124 determines that there is user interaction (block 410: YES), the region of focus determination circuitry 120 determines a region of focus (block 412). The region of focus is the region of the workspace on which the user attention is focused.
In some examples, the region of focus determination circuitry 120 determines if there is a change in the region of focus (block 414). In some examples, if there is no change in the region of focus (block 414: NO), the example instructions 400 continue with the display 122 presenting the workspace to the user (block 408). In some examples, if there is a change in the region of focus (bock 414: YES), the region of focus determination circuitry 120 determines if a threshold amount of time has passed since the change in the region of focus (block 416). If there has not been a threshold amount of time since the change in the region of focus (block 416: NO), the example instructions continue with the region of focus determination circuitry 120 determining a region of focus (block 412). If there has been a threshold amount of time since the change in the region of focus (block 416: YES), the client electronic device 116 via the interface circuitry 118 transmits the region of focus to the content fidelity adjustment circuitry 106 of the workspace provider 102 (block 420).
The interface circuitry 110 of the content fidelity adjustment circuitry 106 receives, accesses, or obtains notifications or other details of the region of focus from the client 104 (block 422). The region of focus comparator circuitry 112 determines if there is a change in the region of focus (block 424). In some examples, as noted above if there is no change in the region of focus, no notification would have been transmitted to the workspace provider 102. In other examples, the determination of a change in the region of occurs at the workspace provider 102. Additionally or alternatively, in some examples, the workspace provider 102 and the client 104 both determine if there are changes in the region of focus. In such examples, the region of focus comparator circuitry 112 verifies or validates the determination of the region of focus determination circuitry 120.
If the region of focus comparator circuitry 112 determines that there is no change in the region of focus (block 424: NO), the example instructions 400 continue with the content fidelity adjustment circuitry 106 providing the workspace to one or more clients 104 (block 404). If the region of focus comparator circuitry 112 determines that there is a change in the region of focus (block 424: YES), the quality level determination circuitry 114 determines quality levels for different regions of content in the workspace (block 426). For example, the quality level determination circuitry 114 determines that content in the region of focus is to be presented at a higher quality level than content outside of the region of focus.
The rendering circuitry 108 adjusts the workspace in accordance with the quality levels determined by the quality level determination circuitry 114 (block 428). The content fidelity adjustment circuitry 106 determines if the content should be adjusted based on other factors (block 430). For example, content may be adjusted to a different quality level based on a time day. In some examples, content may be adjusted based on user preferences, user needs, user abilities, etc. In some examples, content may be adjusted based on the environment of the client 104. For example, content may be presented at a louder volume in a busy environment. In other examples, content may be presented at a lower nightness in a dark environment.
If the content fidelity adjustment circuitry 106 determines that the content should be adjusted based on other factors (block 430: YES), the rendering circuitry 108 adjusts the workspace (block 428). If the content fidelity adjustment circuitry 106 determines that the content is not to be further adjusted based on other factors (block 430: NO), the example instructions 400 continue with the content fidelity adjustment circuitry 106 providing the workspace to one or more clients 104 (block 404).
On the client side, if there is no user interaction (block 410: NO), the client electronic device 116 determines if the application or program presenting the workspace has ended (block 432). If the application has not ended (block 432: NO), the example instructions 400 continue with the display 122 presenting the workspace to the user (block 408). If the application presenting the workspace has ended (block 432: YES), the example instructions 400 end.
The processor platform 500 of the illustrated example includes processor circuitry 512. The processor circuitry 512 of the illustrated example is hardware. For example, the processor circuitry 512 can be implemented by one or more integrated circuits, logic circuits, FPGAs, microprocessors, CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, and/or microcontrollers from any desired family or manufacturer. The processor circuitry 512 may be implemented by one or more semiconductor based (e.g., silicon based) devices. In this example, the processor circuitry 512 implements the content fidelity adjustment circuitry 106, the rendering circuitry 108, the interface circuitry 110, the region of focus comparator circuitry 112, and the quality level determination circuitry 114.
The processor circuitry 512 of the illustrated example includes a local memory 513 (e.g., a cache, registers, etc.). The processor circuitry 512 of the illustrated example is in communication with a main memory including a volatile memory 514 and a non-volatile memory 516 by a bus 518. The volatile memory 514 may be implemented by Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), RAMBUS® Dynamic Random Access Memory (RDRAM®), and/or any other type of RAM device. The non-volatile memory 516 may be implemented by flash memory and/or any other desired type of memory device. Access to the main memory 514, 516 of the illustrated example is controlled by a memory controller 517.
The processor platform 500 of the illustrated example also includes interface circuitry 520. The interface circuitry 520 may be implemented by hardware in accordance with any type of interface standard, such as an Ethernet interface, a universal serial bus (USB) interface, a Bluetooth® interface, a near field communication (NFC) interface, a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) interface, and/or a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) interface.
In the illustrated example, one or more input devices 522 are connected to the interface circuitry 520. The input device(s) 522 permit(s) a user to enter data and/or commands into the processor circuitry 512.
