Abstract
Data intended to be displayed on a higher resolution display such as a non-interlaced display used as a computer monitor may be converted for display on a lower resolution display such as an interlaced display. The conversion may be done in a way that preserves the intended frame format while enhancing readability. For example, in one embodiment, the frames intended for non-interlaced display may be preserved in size for display in the same frame format on a lower resolution interlaced display. Local magnification may be selectively implemented for particular regions to enhance the readability of those regions. Upon selection, such local magnification may provide pixel loss and color corrections in addition to local magnification. In this way the frame format may be preserved while enhancing readability.
Claims9
A method of displaying information on a lower resolution display comprising:
- receiving data formatted for display on a higher resolution display;
- and
- selectively replacing a portion of the data displayed with a larger image thereof on the lower resolution display into an automatically magnified region with at least one correction for an optical distortion to correct said larger image for a loss of image information that occurred in the portion of said data based on a scan disparity between the higher and lower resolution displays.
An article comprising a medium for storing instructions that enable a processor based system to:
- receive data formatted for a display on a higher resolution display;
- and
- selectively replace a portion of the data displayed with a larger image thereof on a lower resolution display into an automatically magnified region with at least one correction for an optical distortion to correct said larger image for a loss of image information that occurred in the portion of said data based on a scan disparity between the higher and lower resolution displays.
A processor based system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to said processor, said memory storing instructions that enable the selective replacement of a portion of data intended for display on a higher resolution display with a larger image thereof when said data is displayed on a lower resolution display into an automatically magnified region with at least one correction for an optical distortion to correct said larger image for a loss of image information that occurred in the portion of said data based on a scan disparity between the higher and lower resolution displays.
