Abstract
A method and apparatus that provides a high resolution still image. The method includes receiving a plurality of images in which high resolution image are interspersed with low resolution images. When a still image command is received, a high resolution image is retrieved from the plurality of images to be displayed.
Claims42
A method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of images in which high resolution images are interspersed with low resolution images;
- determining if a still image command is received;
- retrieving one of said high resolution images from said plurality of images;
- and
- displaying said retrieved high resolution image,
- wherein if said still image command has not been received, purging at least one of said high resolution images from said plurality of images.
3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a first circuit to receive a plurality of images in which high resolution images are interspersed with low resolution images,
- a second circuit coupled to said first circuit to distinguish between said high resolution images and said low resolution images;
- a third circuit to receive a still image command;
- and
- a fourth circuit coupled to said second and said third circuit to retrieve a high resolution image from said plurality of images when said third circuit receives said still image command,
- wherein if said still image command has not been received by said third circuit, purging at least one of said high resolution images from said plurality of images.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- a processing unit configured to receive a plurality of images in which high resolution images are interspersed with low resolution images, said processing unit configured to distinguish between said high resolution images and said low resolution images, said processing unit further configured to receive a still image command, said processing unit configured to retrieve a high resolution image from said plurality of images on receiving said still image command;
- and
- a display unit coupled to said processing unit to display said retrieved high resolution image,
- wherein if said still image command has not been received, said processing unit purging at least one of said high resolution images from said plurality of images.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of images in which high resolution images are always simultaneously interspersed with low resolution images in a pattern at one of a predetermined rate and a rate determined by bandwidth of a bus;
- determining if a still image command is received;
- retrieving one of said high resolution images from said plurality of images;
- and
- displaying said retrieved high resolution image.

An apparatus comprising:
- a first circuit to receive a plurality of images in which high resolution images are always simultaneously interspersed with low resolution images in a pattern at one of a predetermined rate and a rate determined by bandwidth of a bus coupled to said first circuit,
- a second circuit coupled to said first circuit to distinguish between said high resolution images and said low resolution images;
- a third circuit to receive a still image command;
- and
- a fourth circuit coupled to said second and said third circuit to retrieve a high resolution image from said plurality of images when said third circuit receives said still image command.
