The graphics processor 202 may be a dedicated graphics processing chip, and the graphics processor 202 may accelerate the graphics rendering by using an accelerator of the graphics processor 202, and after the graphics processor 202 is turned on for rendering, the graphics processor 202 may acquire a first subtask and perform graphics rendering based on the first subtask to obtain a clear layer, i.e. a first layer, so that the interface display speed may be increased, and the burden of the processor 201 may be reduced.

And the animation effect accelerator 203 is configured to acquire an animation effect processing task in the second subtask, and perform animation effect processing based on the animation effect processing task to obtain a second layer.

Specifically, the animation effect process includes at least one of a blurring process or a rounding process. Blurring may be understood as a process of reducing sharpness of an image, such as a gaussian blurring of an image, resulting in a blurred image of the image. A great deal of blurring effects may be applied in the UI design of the electronic device, for example, a control center pull-down, a notification center pull-down, a desktop application start-up, and the like. Rounded corner processing is understood to mean the substitution of sharp edges in the image with circular arc shapes, resulting in a design shape with soft edges. In the interactive control of the electronic device, rounded rectangles can be applied in a large amount, so that a better human eye effect can be obtained. The second layer includes at least one image. When the processor 201 determines the first task, a second sub-task in the first task may be assigned to the animation effect accelerator 203 for processing. The animation effect accelerator 203 may be a special animation effect processing chip, and the animation effect accelerator 203 is utilized to accelerate the generation of the graphic animation effect, after the animation effect accelerator 203 is started to accelerate the animation effect, the animation effect accelerator 203 may acquire a second subtask, and perform the generation of the graphic animation effect based on the second subtask, so as to obtain an image after the animation effect processing, namely a second layer, so that the interface display speed can be improved, and the burden of the processor 201 and the graphic processor 202 can be reduced.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic workflow diagram of an interface generating device according to an embodiment of the present application, where a rendering service, an application 1 and an application 2 may be run on a processor 201. Application 1 may generate rendering tree 1 and application 2 may generate rendering tree 2. The rendering service may acquire the rendering tree 1 and the rendering tree 2, respectively, and may generate a target rendering tree based on the rendering tree 1 and the rendering tree 2. Further, the rendering service may determine a first task, and a first subtask and a second subtask in the first task, based on the target rendering tree. Next, the processor 201 may issue the first sub-task to the graphics processor 202 for processing, and the processor 201 may issue the second sub-task to the animation effect accelerator 203 for processing. Graphics processor 202 obtains a first subtask and generates a first layer based on graphics rendering tasks in the first subtask, where the first layer may include at least one image. The animation effect accelerator 203 may obtain a second subtask and generate a second layer based on the animation effect processing task in the second subtask, where the second layer may include at least one image. In other words, the rendering service may split all the controls to be rendered onto different layers, including a foreground layer, a background layer, a video layer, and the like, based on the attribute settings and hardware capabilities of the controls. The rendering service may issue the layer requiring animation acceleration to the hardened animation effect accelerator 203 for processing, and configure the animation effect accelerator 203 to write the result after processing into the middle layer. The rendering service issues layers that can be directly rendered to the graphics processor 202 for rendering. The rendering service gives the animation effect accelerator 203 the task of accelerating the animation effect after rendering by the graphics processor 202, and the animation effect accelerator 203 writes the processed layers into the designated layers. In the application, the processor 201, the graphic processor 202 and the animation effect accelerator 203 are cooperated to render the interface, so that the display speed of the interface can be improved, and the burden of the processor 201 and the graphic processor 202 can be reduced.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of another interface generating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application, the interface generating apparatus 20 may further include a display subsystem 204, where the display subsystem 204 is configured to receive the first layer and the second layer, and form the first layer and the second layer into an image to be displayed.

Specifically, the display subsystem 204 is a hardware module, where the display subsystem 204 may obtain multiple layers at the same time, and superimpose the multiple layers on line to generate an image to be displayed, and then send the image to be displayed to a display peripheral device for display, so that a final dynamic interaction picture is displayed on the screen. In the conventional technology, the graphics processor 202 is required to superimpose multiple layers, and then a single layer of the graphics is sent to the display peripheral by the display subsystem 204, so that the power consumption of the graphics processor 202 is increased, and the memory read-write power consumption is also reduced. In the embodiment of the present application, the display subsystem 204 may acquire multiple layers at the same time, and then superimpose the multiple layers online to obtain the image to be displayed, so as to reduce the power consumption of the graphics processor 202.

For example, as shown in fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of a layer overlay provided by an embodiment of the present application, and it is assumed that the graphic processor 202 is configured to render a clear main interface and a clear folder window interface, that is, a first layer, where the first layer includes two images, the main interface may include icons of a plurality of application programs, such as a clock, a calendar, a gallery, a memo, a setting, etc., and the folder window interface may include an application icon of a smart home, an application icon of a recording, an application icon of an application mall, etc. The animation effect accelerator 203 is configured to perform rounded corner processing and background blurring processing on the folder 1 window in the main interface, so as to obtain a second image layer, where the second image layer includes an image in which the background of the folder 1 window is blurred, and the edge of the folder 1 window is rounded corner processed. After the graphics processor 202 generates the first layer and the animation effect accelerator 203 generates the second layer, the display subsystem 204 may acquire the first layer and the second layer at the same time, and perform online fusion on the first layer and the second layer to obtain the image to be displayed. Further, the display subsystem 204 may send a display to a screen, and then display the image to be displayed on the screen of the electronic device, and the user can obviously notice that a plurality of applications are stored in the folder 1 due to the blurring process and the rounding process at the window of the folder 1.

In some embodiments, the animation effect processing task is used for indicating the layer to be processed, and the animation effect accelerator 203 is specifically used for performing animation effect processing on the layer to be processed based on the animation effect processing task to obtain the second layer.

Specifically, the layer to be processed may be a layer stored in a memory. The animation effect processing task in the second subtask may be used to indicate the layer to be processed. The animation effect accelerator 203 may acquire a second subtask, and may read a layer to be processed stored in the memory based on an animation effect processing task in the second subtask, and perform animation effect processing, such as rounding processing, and/or blurring processing, on the layer to be processed. In the embodiment of the present application, the processor 201, the graphics processor 202 and the animation effect accelerator 203 cooperatively work to render an interface, and the processor 201 determines a first task (i.e., an interface generating task) and a first subtask and a second subtask in the first task, where the first subtask is used to indicate that a clear layer is rendered, and the second subtask is used to indicate that a layer after the animation effect is processed is rendered. Further, the first subtask may be executed by the graphics processor 202, and the second subtask may be executed by the animation effect accelerator 203, i.e., the graphics processor 202 need only execute graphics rendering tasks, no animation effect processing tasks are required to be executed, and the graphics processor 202 and the animation effect accelerator 203 may work in parallel, so that not only the workload of the processor 201 and the graphics processor 202 may be reduced, but also the interface generation efficiency may be improved.

Optionally, a fillet generator (Rounded Corner Generator, RCG), a layer overlay Operator (OV) may be included in the animation effects accelerator 203. The RCG operator may generate different parameter configuration fillet hoods (ALPHA MASK) through a hardening algorithm, and may implement graph-level fillet processing in cooperation with the OV operator inside the animation effect accelerator 203.

Alternatively, the RCG operator configures parameters of the rounded curve by software, and calculates and antialiases by hardware to obtain ALPHA MASK, ALPHA MASK only includes alpha values of the rounded transition region. For example, as shown in fig. 9, fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of a fillet treatment provided in an embodiment of the present application, and an OV operator may superimpose ALPHA MASK a layer to be subjected to a fillet layer, so as to achieve a transparency effect of a fillet region. In the embodiment of the application, the fillet generating operator is integrated in the animation effect accelerator 203, so that the fillet mask can be generated rapidly, and the function of the layer fillet can be realized with high efficiency and low power consumption by matching with the OV operator.

Alternatively, the animation effect accelerator 203 may include a downsampling operator (Down Scale), an upsampling operator (Up Scale). The animation effect accelerator 203 can downsample the image layer based on the downsampling operator, upsample the image layer based on the upsampling operator to perform fuzzy processing on the image layer, so that the problems of large calculated amount and the like in fuzzy processing on the image layer by using a fuzzy algorithm are avoided, and the efficiency of fuzzy processing on the image layer is improved.

In particular, the second subtask may include a second graphics rendering task and an animation effect acceleration task. The second graphics rendering task may be used to indicate that a clear layer, i.e., the third layer, is rendered. After graphics processor 202 performs graphics rendering based on the second graphics rendering task to obtain a third layer, animation effect accelerator 203 may obtain the third layer and perform animation effect processing, such as rounding processing, and/or blurring processing, on the third layer to obtain the second layer. In an embodiment of the present application, the processor 201 determines a first task (i.e., an interface generation task) and a graphics rendering task and an animation effect acceleration processing task included in the first task by cooperatively rendering the interface by the processor 201, the graphics processor 202, and the animation effect accelerator 203. Further, the graphics processor 202 may perform graphics rendering tasks, and the animation effect accelerator 203 may perform animation acceleration processing tasks, i.e., the graphics processor 202 need only perform graphics rendering tasks, and does not need to perform animation effect processing tasks, and the graphics processor 202 and the animation effect accelerator 203 may work in parallel, so that not only the workload of the processor 201 and the graphics processor 202 may be reduced, but also the interface generation efficiency may be improved.

Optionally, the display subsystem 204 may be configured to receive the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer, and to layer the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer into an image to be displayed.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 10, fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of another layer overlay provided in the embodiment of the present application, and it is assumed that the graphic processor 202 is configured to render a clear folder window interface, that is, a first layer, where the first layer includes an image, and the folder window interface may include an application icon of a smart home, a recorded application icon, an application icon of an application mall, and so on. The memory may store a third layer, which may be a layer after the primary interface is blurred, where the primary interface may include icons of a plurality of applications, such as a clock, calendar, gallery, memo, setting, and the like. The animation effect accelerator 203 is configured to perform rounded corner processing and background blurring processing on a third layer, that is, the folder 1 window in the main interface, so as to obtain a second layer, where the second layer includes an image, where the background of the folder 1 window in the image is blurred, and the edge of the folder 1 window is rounded corner processed. After the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer are obtained, the display subsystem 204 may simultaneously obtain the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer, and perform online fusion on the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer to obtain the image to be displayed. Further, the display subsystem 204 may send a display to a screen, and then display the image to be displayed on the screen of the electronic device, and the user can obviously notice the content in the folder 1 because the window of the folder 1 is subjected to blurring and rounding, and the background is subjected to blurring.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 11, FIG. 11 is a workflow diagram of another interface generating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application, the interface generating apparatus 20 further includes a task scheduler 205, a processor 201 further configured to send a first dependency relationship to the task scheduler 205, where the first dependency relationship is used to indicate a dependency relationship of executing a second graphics rendering task and an animation effect processing task in a second subtask, and the task scheduler 205 is configured to schedule the graphics processor 202 to execute the second graphics rendering task and schedule the animation effect accelerator 203 to execute the animation effect processing task according to the first dependency relationship.

In particular, the task scheduler 205 may be a hardware module that may be used to schedule the graphics processor 202 and the animation effects accelerator 203. The processor 201 may send the first dependency relationship to the task scheduler 205. Further, the task scheduler 205 may store the first dependency relationship after receiving the first dependency relationship, and the task scheduler 205 may schedule the graphics processor 202 to execute the second graphics rendering task to obtain the third layer based on the first dependency relationship, and schedule the animation effect accelerator 203 to execute the animation effect processing task to obtain the second layer. In the embodiment of the application, the graphics processor 202 and the animation effect accelerator 203 are not required to be scheduled by the processor 201, so that the problems of long execution time, heavy load, high complexity and the like required by the processor 201 for issuing the task are avoided, the task issuing speed can be improved, and the interface generating efficiency is improved.

For example, the task scheduler 205 may receive event notifications sent by the graphics processor 202 or the animation effect accelerator 203 according to the task dependency rule, and send corresponding event notifications to a chip module that needs to execute the task subsequently, for example, the graphics processor 202 or the animation effect accelerator 203 triggers the corresponding task to be executed, and the hardware interfaces that may be integrated inside the graphics processor 202 and the animation effect accelerator 203 and that may interface with the task scheduler 205 may send event notifications to each other. When the processor 201 issues a task, the event notification and corresponding task may be configured into a hardware interface that is integrated within the graphics processor 202 and animation effects accelerator 203 and that interfaces with the task scheduler 205. Event notification between the task scheduler 205 and the graphics processor 202, animation effects accelerator 203, etc. may be implemented through a message bus, or an on-chip wire connection, etc., and is not limited to the above description. The task scheduler 205 defines and implements the task dependency rules in various forms, so long as the above-mentioned processes can be implemented, which are all within the scope of the present application, and the specific task dependency description and task scheduler 205 implementation are not limited.

In some embodiments, interface generation device 20 comprises a chip.

Specifically, the interface generating device 20 includes a chip, and compared with the conventional interface generating device, the animation effect accelerator 203 is added, and the processor 201, the graphic processor 202 and the animation effect accelerator 203 cooperatively work to render the interface, so as to improve the interface rendering efficiency.

For example, as shown in fig. 12, fig. 12 is a flowchart of an interface generating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application, where a rendering service obtains attributes of all layers to be processed, or obtains attributes of each node according to a rendering tree, and related attributes include ambiguity, rounded corners, and layer sequence and superposition between nodes. The rendering service constructs tasks according to the layer attributes and the supporting capability of the hardware, and analyzes task dependencies. The rendering service invokes the AAE-driven development toolkit (DEVICE DRIVER KIT, DDK) and the GPU DDK to build tasks that are distributed to the AAE and the GPU, respectively. The rendering service configures the dependencies of the tasks to the TS through TSDDK. The rendering service submits the task to the AAE and GPU and waits for the AAE/GPU to complete. The AAE and GPU hardware execute tasks and are scheduled by TS hardware, and hardware interrupt is returned to the CPU after the tasks are completed. And the rendering service calls the DSS to configure the DSS to send all the layers to be displayed in an online superposition mode, and finally the expected display picture is displayed on the screen.

Specifically, a Harmony OS Next operating system is taken as an example for illustration. The Harmony OS Next operating system is an open-source Next-generation operating system for mobile terminals (including mobile phones, watches, PCs, etc.) designed and developed by Hua corporation. The Harmony OS Next operating system adopts a unified rendering architecture, and UI interaction spaces and rendering operations of all applications are submitted to a rendering tree (RENDER SERVICE) for unified rendering. RENDER SERVICE each frame obtains RENDER TREE to be rendered currently, and obtains window and attribute information thereof to be subjected to blurring or rounding processing, RENDER SERVICE and an AAE UMD interface are interacted to perform bidirectional negotiation or RENDER SERVICE split RENDER TREE into different rendering subtrees, namely Sub-RENDER TREE, based on the specification capability of an AAE chip. RENDER SERVICE based on the optimal chip specification capability splitting RENDER TREE, render nodes capable of being rendered to a buffer are split into the same Sub-RENDER TREE, and render nodes (render nodes) capable of being rendered in parallel are split into different rendering tasks, namely different Sub-RENDER TREE. Taking window blurring as an example, the rendering of the blurred region does not affect the rendering of the uppermost window, so the background region can be split into one Sub-RENDER TREE and the upper window into another Sub-RENDER TREE. Next, RENDER SERVICE traverses each Sub-RENDER TREE, converting Sub-RENDER TREE to a drawing Operation (Draw Operation, abbreviated as Draw Op), and different Sub-RENDER TREE may be traversed in parallel. RENDER SERVICE analyzing the dependency relationship between rendering tasks, calling the GPU DDK by the Draw Op corresponding to the graphics rendering task to construct a GPU task, and calling the AAE DDK by the task needing fuzzy or round-corner processing to construct an AAE task. Then RENDER SERVICE configures the dependency relationship of different tasks to TS, and submits the constructed tasks to GPU and AAE for execution. Then, the TS can receive event notification sent by the GPU or the AAE according to the configuration task dependency rule, and send the corresponding event notification to a chip module needing to execute the task subsequently, for example, the GPU or the AAE is triggered to execute the corresponding task, and hardware interfaces of the internal integration of the GPU and the AAE and the TS can mutually send the event notification. And when the software issues the task, configuring the event notification and the corresponding task into hardware interfaces of the GPU and the AAE internal integration and TS docking. Next, RENDER SERVICE submits the finally rendered multiple layers to be displayed through a DISPLAY HAL layer interface, and the layers are configured to a chip module DSS for display by DSS KMD. When the frame synchronous signal comes, the chip DSS module sends a plurality of layers to the screen in an online superposition mode, and finally the dynamic effect picture is displayed on the screen. Among other things, the AAE chip module may integrate a downsampling (Down Scale) operator, an upsampling (Up Scale) operator, a Blur operator, a gamut conversion (CSC) operator, a ToneMaping/Inverse Tone Maping operator, a corner rounding operator (Rounded Corner Generator, RCG), a layer overlaying Operator (OV), a color enhancement operator (Color Enhancement, CE), RDMA, WDMA, on-chip RAM, and the like. RCG operator of AAE can be through hardening algorithm generation ALPHA MASK, cooperate with the OV operator inside AAE, can realize the round corner processing of picture level. The AAE can integrate multiple identical operators and multiple channels (pipes), so that multiple tasks can be supported to be executed concurrently, and the link relation of the operators in the AAE can be configured dynamically among different tasks, so that more flexible functions are realized. Still further, the AAE may share on-chip RAM with the DSS, or share data through SYSTEM CACHE. Furthermore, when the throughput capacity of the software is calculated to exceed the data rate required by the DSS transmission and display, the software can configure the AAE to transmit and display after processing the single-layer N data (instead of complete buffer data), namely, the DSS is notified by the hardware scheduler TS, so that the data processed by the AAE and the data read by the DSS transmission and display can be efficiently circulated through on-chip storage, the transmission and display delay is reduced, and the DDR bandwidth in the whole flow is saved.

Alternatively, the application is not limited to the Harmony OS Next system, but can be used in an Android system. In the Surface Flinger (rendering service) per frame preparation (preparation) phase, layers to be overlaid and obscured and rounded layers may be marked as AAE processing by invoking the HWC interface, and then multiple layers may be configured to GPU or DSS for rendering. After the AAE and the GPU execute the processing of the layers, the multiple layers are configured to the DSS, the DSS is used for online superposition of the multiple layers for display, and expected display frames are displayed on a screen.

In summary, compared with the conventional interface generating device, the animation effect accelerator 203 is added in the application, and the processor 201, the graphic processor 202 and the animation effect accelerator 203 cooperatively work to render the interface, so as to improve the rendering efficiency of the interface. In the conventional technology, the processor 201 directly issues the interface generating task to the graphics processor 202 for execution, the graphics processor 202 executes the graphics rendering task and also executes the animation effect processing task, the whole flow of the animation effect processing is complex, the number of executing instructions of the processor 201 and the graphics processor 202 is large, the power consumption is high, and the performance risk is large. Thus, in the present application, the processor 201 determines a first task (i.e., an interface generation task) and a first subtask and a second subtask in the first task, where the first subtask is used to indicate that a clear layer is rendered, and the second subtask is used to indicate that a layer after the animation effect is processed is rendered. Further, the first subtask may be executed by the graphics processor 202, and the second subtask may be executed by the animation effect accelerator 203, i.e., the graphics processor 202 need only execute graphics rendering tasks, no animation effect processing tasks are required to be executed, and the graphics processor 202 and the animation effect accelerator 203 may work in parallel, so that not only the workload of the processor 201 and the graphics processor 202 may be reduced, but also the interface generation efficiency may be improved.
