Abstract
A display area having rendered data thereon is divided into a plurality of tiles and an update frequency for each tile is determined. A determination is then made as to whether the update frequency of each tile exceeds a threshold. For each tile whose update frequency exceeds the threshold, that tile is marked as a candidate tile. Adjacent candidate tiles are then associated to form a heat map. The heat map is then analyzed to determine whether to encode the rendered data associated with the heat map.
