Application programming interface supporting mixed two and three dimensional displays

摘要

Application programming interfaces (APIs) are provided that enable applications to display two-dimensional and three-dimensional content in regions of a display screen. A first command is received from an application directing at least in part a first configuration of a first region of the screen to support the three-dimensional content. The first command is responded to by sending a first configuration request to place the screen in a three-dimensional mode within the first region. A second command is received directing at least in part a second configuration of a second region of the screen to support the two-dimensional content. The second command is responded to by sending a second configuration request to place the screen in mode corresponding to a two-dimensional mode within the second region.

主权项

1. A method performed by one or more processors used by an application programming interface (API) to enable applications to display both first content and second content on a screen, the first content being three-dimensional content, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, a first command from an application directing at least in part a first configuration of a first region of the screen to support the first content, the first configuration being a first three-dimensional configuration; responding to the first command by sending a first configuration request to place the screen in a three-dimensional mode within the first region; receiving a second command directing at least in part a second configuration of a second region of the screen to support the second content; responding to the second command by sending a second configuration request to place the screen in a mode corresponding to the second configuration within the second region; and receiving a third command configured to adjust a configurable depth of the three-dimensional content.
