Abstract

Methods and systems for reducing communication during video processing utilizing merge buffering are disclosed and may include storing data in a merge buffer in the virtual machine layer in a wireless communication device comprising a virtual machine user layer, a native user layer, a kernel, and a video processor. The data may then be communicated to the kernel via the native user layer. The data may include function calls, and/or kernel remote procedure calls. The data may be communicated via an application programming interface. Video data may be processed in the video processor based on the communicated data. The virtual machine user layer may include a Java environment. The data may be communicated to the kernel via the native user layer when the merge buffer is full or filled to a predetermined level.
