    Abstract: A data processing system includes a graphics display component for creating an image to be displayed and a method therefor is described. The graphics display component includes: a layer selection module configured to: identify a set M of active layers for at least one pixel to be displayed; and a display controller unit, DCU, operably coupled to the layer selection module and comprising a blend manager; and at least one processor and one or more processing units. The at least one processor is configured to determine whether a number, m, of active layers in the set, M, exceeds a blend limit, n, of a maximum number of graphical surfaces that can be blended simultaneously by the DCU and, in response thereto, identify a subset N of up to n layers from the set M of active layers. The blend manager; is configured to bind a first portion of active layers directly to the DCU and output any excess active layers in the set, M, that exceeds the n layers to at least one selected processing unit for blending. The DCU is configured to generate composite pixel data to be displayed based on separate blends from the DCU and the at least one selected processing unit that blended the excess active layers in the set, M.

    Abstract: The display control device includes a display control unit, a selection detecting unit, an icon identifying unit, and an aggregate-icon creating unit. The selection detecting unit detects whether a plurality of icons displayed on a display screen have been selected as if the icons were connected along a line. When the selection detecting unit detects that the icons have been selected as if the icons were connected along a line, the icon identifying unit identifies the selected icons along the line. The aggregate-icon creating unit creates an aggregate icon aggregating the icons identified by the icon identifying unit. The display control unit performs control operations to display the aggregate icon created by the aggregate-icon creating unit on the display screen.
