Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing autoconvergence is described. An image having a first aspect ratio and a plurality of sides is received. The image is displayed on a display having a second aspect ratio and at least one sensor corresponding to each side of the image. The image is moved so that each sensor can detect the corresponding side of the image.
Claims19
A method for performing autoconvergence, comprising:
- receiving an image having a first aspect ratio and a plurality of sides;
- displaying said image on a display having a second aspect ratio and at least one sensor corresponding to each side of said image;
- moving said image as a single entire image, without increasing any of the dimensions of said image, so that each sensor can detect said corresponding side of said image.
A machine-readable medium whose contents cause a computer system to perform autoconvergence by performing the acts of:
- receiving an image having a first aspect ratio and a plurality of sides;
- displaying said image on a display having a second aspect ratio and at least one sensor corresponding to each side of said image;
- moving said image as a single entire image, without increasing any of the dimensions of said image, so that each sensor can detect said corresponding side of said image.
A method comprising:
- displaying an image having a first aspect ratio on a display having a second aspect ratio, said first and second aspect ratios being different, said display comprising a first sensor positioned at a first side and a second sensor positioned at a second side opposite said first side;
- and
- moving said image as a single entire image, without increasing any of the dimensions of said image, so that said first and second sensors detect said image.
