Transacted double buffering for graphical user interface rendering

Transacted double buffering for graphical user interface rendering

Invention relates to computer engineering and particularly to applications which include a graphical user interface. A method of updating a graphical user interface (GUI) comprises steps of identifying a requested action which leads to repainting of part of the GUI, determining that the requested action includes delay in repainting said part of the GUI, transacting the requested action through initiation, in a parallel manner, of a double buffering control means which renders GUI updates and makes then invisible, and a splash screen stream which is displayed on a display, and sending the rendered GUI updates to the display at the completion of the transaction of the requested action.

Image density adjustment in image-forming apparatus

Image density adjustment in image-forming apparatus

Invention relates to means of forming images using dyes materials. The apparatus employs a first transfer unit for transferring a first colour and a second transfer unit situated downstream of the first transfer unit in the direction of transportation of the intermediate transfer object, which is configured to transfer a second image using dye of another colour. The apparatus has a unit for detecting density of the measured image and a unit for creating a table for adjusting multi-component colour density. The apparatus determines the required multi-component colour density adjustment.

Method, apparatus and system for interlinking video image and virtual network environment

Method, apparatus and system for interlinking video image and virtual network environment

Invention relates to means of processing video images in a virtual network environment. The method involves obtaining video data of a user, displaying, on the screen of a client, a video image corresponding to said video data in a virtual environment, determining, at a predetermined time, whether video data of the user satisfy a predetermined requirement, prohibiting the user from carrying out an action in the virtual environment if the video data of the user do not satisfy the predetermined requirement.
