Abstract
A method, system and device for controlling a display are disclosed. Data is examined, which correspond to an image to be shown with the display. Upon determining that said data comprise a critical item corresponding to an element of the image, the critical item is shown with an uncluttered view. Non-critical items corresponding to elements of the image are attempted to be shown as well, such that the critical item is not obscured and the image remains uncluttered.
Claims30
A computer implemented method for controlling a display, comprising:
- examining data corresponding to an image to be shown with said display;
- upon determining that said data comprise a critical item corresponding to an element of said image, showing said critical item wherein said critical item is shown with an uncluttered view;
- upon determining that said data comprise a non-critical item corresponding to an element of said image, attempting to show said non-critical item wherein said uncluttered view of said critical item remains uncluttered;
- and
- showing said image with said display wherein said image is uncluttered.
A computer based system for controlling a display, comprising:
- an evaluator module for accessing data corresponding to an image to be shown with said display and generating a list of points and labels corresponding thereto wherein said points and said corresponding labels comprise elements of said image;
- an uncluttering module for accessing said list and generating a precursive map for said image wherein, with said precursive map, said uncluttering module attempts a fit for each of said points and said labels corresponding thereto and prioritizes the display of said points and labels;
- and
- an image labeling module for accessing said precursive map and formatting said image to be shown with said display.
A computer usable medium having a computer readable program code for causing a computer system to implement a process for controlling a display, said process comprising:
- examining data corresponding to an image to be shown with said display;
- upon determining that said data comprise a critical item corresponding to an element of said image, showing said critical item wherein said critical item is shown with an uncluttered view;
- upon determining that said data comprise a non-critical item corresponding to an element of said image, attempting to show said non-critical item wherein said uncluttered view of said critical item remains uncluttered;
- and
- showing said image with said display wherein said image is uncluttered.
A computer device, comprising:
- a protective case;
- and
- a circuit disposed within said case, wherein a system functions to control a display associated with said computer, said system comprising:
- an evaluator module for accessing data corresponding to an image to be shown with said display and generating a list of points and labels corresponding thereto wherein said points and said corresponding labels comprise elements of said image;
- an uncluttering module for accessing said list and generating a precursive map for said image wherein, with said precursive map, said uncluttering module attempts a fit for each of said points and said labels corresponding thereto and prioritizes the display of said points and labels;
- and
- an image labeling module for accessing said precursive map and formatting said image to be shown with said display.
