Abstract
A method of presenting images corresponding to image data transmitted over a data link, the method comprising the steps of: receiving first image data corresponding to a first image; displying the first image; receiving second image data corresponding to a second image; displaying the second image; if third image data corresponding to a third image has been received before the expiry of an initial set period of time after the display of the second image, displaying the third image; or if the third image data has not been received before the expiry of the initial set period of time after the display of the second image, displaying the first image again.
Claims25
1-15. (Canceled.) claim 16. A method that presents images corresponding to image data transmitted over a data link, comprising:
- receiving first image data corresponding to a first image over a data link;
- displaying said first image;
- receiving second image data corresponding to a second image over said data link;
- displaying said second image;
- and
- displaying a third image, if third image data corresponding to said third image has been received over said data link before the expiry of a first set period of time after the display of said second image;
- or
- displaying said first image a second time, if said third image data has not been received over said data link before the expiry of said first set period of time after the display of said second image.
The method of claim 16, wherein said third image data corresponding to said third image is not received over said data link before the expiry of said first set period of time after the display of said second image, further comprising:
- displaying said third image if said third image data corresponding to said third image has been received over said data link before the expiry of a second set period of time after said second display of said first image;
- or
- displaying said second image a second time if said third image data has not been received over said data link before the expiry of said second set period of time after said second display of said first image.
The method of claim 16, wherein said first set period of time is determined by the rate at which data is transmitted over said data link.
The method of claim 16, wherein said first set period of time is determined by a user.
The method of claim 16, wherein said first set period of time is determined by the type of event represented by said first, second, and third images.
A program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a method that presents images corresponding to image data transmitted over a data link, said method comprises:
- receiving first image data corresponding to a first image over a data link;
- displaying said first image;
- receiving second image data corresponding to a second image over said data link;
- displaying said second image;
- and
- displaying a third image, if third image data corresponding to said third image has been received over said data link before the expiry of a first set period of time after the display of said second image;
- or
- displaying said first image a second time, if said third image data has not been received over said data link before the expiry of said first set period of time after the display of said second image.
A display apparatus that presents images corresponding to image data transmitted over a data link, comprising:
- a data link that receives first image data corresponding to a first image, second image data corresponding to a second image, and third image data corresponding to a third image;
- a display that displays said first, second, and third images;
- wherein, said third image is displayed only if said third image data is received before the expiry of a first set period of time after the display of said second image;
- otherwise, said first image is displayed a second time.
A display system that presents images corresponding to image data transmitted over a data link, comprising:
- a data link that receives first image data corresponding to a first image, second image data corresponding to a second image, and third image data corresponding to a third image;
- a display that displays said first, second, and third images;
- wherein, said third image is displayed only if said third image data is received before the expiry of a first set period of time after the display of said second image;
- otherwise, said first image is displayed a second time.
A method that makes a display apparatus that presents images corresponding to image data transmitted over a data link, comprising:
- providing a data link that receives first image data corresponding to a first image, second image data corresponding to a second image, and third image data corresponding to a third image;
- providing a display that displays said first, second, and third images;
- wherein, said third image is displayed only if said third image data is received before the expiry of a first set period of time after the display of said second image;
- otherwise, said first image is displayed a second time.
A method that presents images corresponding to image data transmitted over a data link, comprising:
- defining a sequence of n registers;
- storing image data corresponding to the n most recently received images in sequence in said sequence of n registers in a one-to-one correspondence;
- and
- repeatedly displaying the sequence of said n most recently received images until image data corresponding to the next image is received.
A program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a method that presents images corresponding to image data transmitted over a data link, said method comprising:
- defining a sequence of n registers;
- storing image data corresponding to the n most recently received images in sequence in said sequence of n registers in a one-to-one correspondence;
- and
- repeatedly displaying the sequence of said n most recently received images until image data corresponding to the next image is received.
A display apparatus that presents images corresponding to image data transmitted over a data link, comprising:
- a sequence of n registers;
- image data received over a data link, said image data corresponds to the n most recently received images in sequence, said image data is stored in said sequence of n registers in a one-to-one correspondence;
- and
- a display that repeatedly displays the sequence of said n most recently received images until image data corresponding to the next image is received.
A method that makes a display apparatus that presents images corresponding to image data transmitted over a data link, comprising:
- providing a sequence of n registers;
- providing image data received over a data link, said image data corresponds to the n most recently received images in sequence, said image data is stored in said sequence of n registers in a one-to-one correspondence;
- and
- providing a display that repeatedly displays the sequence of said n most recently received images until image data corresponding to the next image is received.
A display system that presents images corresponding to image data transmitted over a data link, comprising:
- a sequence of n registers;
- image data received over a data link, said image data corresponds to the n most recently received images in sequence, said image data is stored in said sequence of n registers in a one-to-one correspondence;
- and
- a display that repeatedly displays the sequence of said n most recently received images until image data corresponding to the next image is received.
