Abstract
Image or other data is stored in a memory. A first validation parameter (e.g., a checksum) is determined for the data stored in the memory at a first time, and stored. A second validation parameter is determined for the data stored in the memory at a second time, and also stored. The stored first and second validation parameters are then compared. In this manner, corruption of data in the memory may be determined by the comparison. In the case where the compared first and second validation parameters are not identical (within a threshold in certain embodiments), the data stored in the memory is updated. As applied to graphical image data, this is seen as advantageous over the prior art approach of periodically updating a frame memory even when no new image data set is present. Apparatus and computer program products are also detailed.
