Abstract
A portable imaging device for accessing and viewing image wherein each of the images has associated aspect ratio information. The imaging device comprises: a memory for storing at least one image and associated aspect ratio information; a display for displaying at least one of the images stored in the memory and simultaneously displaying a user interface control window; and user controls for selecting commands displayed in the user interface control window; wherein a location of the user interface control window displayed in the display is dependent upon the aspect ratio information.
Claims31
A system for accessing and viewing images transmitted from a remote location to a portable imaging device, each of the transmitted images having associated aspect ratio information, comprising:
- the portable imaging device comprising:
- a receiver adapted to receive images and aspect ratio information transmitted from the remote location;
- a memory for storing at least one of the images and aspect ratio information received from the receiver;
- a display for displaying at least one of the images stored in the memory and simultaneously displaying a user interface control window;
- and
- user controls for selecting commands displayed in the user interface control window;
- wherein a location of the user interface control window displayed in the display is dependent upon the aspect ratio information.
A portable imaging device for accessing and viewing images, each of the images having associated aspect ratio information, comprising:
- a memory for storing at least one image and associated aspect ratio information;
- a display for displaying at least one of the images stored in the memory and simultaneously displaying a user interface control window;
- and
- user controls for selecting commands displayed in the user interface control window;
- wherein a location of the user interface control window displayed in the display is dependent upon the aspect ratio information.
A method for accessing and viewing an image transmitted from a remote location wherein the transmitted image includes associated aspect ratio information, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving, using a portable imaging device having a display, the at least one image and aspect ratio information transmitted from the remote location;
- storing the at least one image and aspect ratio information received by the receiver;
- providing selectable user controls displayable in a user interface control window of display the portable imaging device;
- and
- simultaneously displaying, in the display of the portable imaging device, the at least one image stored in the memory and the user interface control window;
- wherein a location of the user interface control window displayed in the display is dependent upon the aspect ratio information.
