One of the different scaling techniques is performed by one of the dedicated circuits and the shared circuit. | 03-24-2016 |
| 20160098816 | WEARABLE-TO-WEARABLE CONTROLS - The present invention provides a number of advantageous modifications and improvements in wearable computing devices to optimize or at least more fully utilize the potential applications of such devices. These modifications include transforming the view of a second observer to be able to view what a first observer at a different location is viewing, allowing the second observer or a remote administrator to control the zoom on the device of a first observer, providing a pointer on the device of the first observer to assist in framing or viewing an object; and controlling the device to avoid overheating or to avoid transmitting redundant or hijacked information. | 04-07-2016 |
| 20160125571 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a display formed of a flat panel and configured to display a video image, and a display controller configured to generate a curved image and output, to the display, a display signal for displaying the curved image. The curved image is obtained by reducing and deforming an input image. The display controller reduces the input image by a maximum reduction ratio in a predetermined position, and reduces the input image by a smaller reduction ratio in a position remoter from the predetermined position. | 05-05-2016 |
| 20160147713 | AUTOMATICALLY CREATING AT-A-GLANCE CONTENT - Generating notifications comprising text and image data for client devices with limited display screens is disclosed. An image to be included in the notification is resized and reshaped using image processing techniques. The resized image is further analyzed to identify optimal portions for placing the text data. The text data can also be analyzed and shortened for including at the identified portion of resized image to generate a notification. The resulting notification displays the text and image data optimally within the limited screen space of the client device so that a user observing the notification can obtain the information at a glance. | 05-26-2016 |
| 20160148342 | MOVEMENT OF DISPLAYED ELEMENT FROM ONE DISPLAY TO ANOTHER - In one aspect, a device includes a processor, a first display accessible to the processor, and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to, in response to movement to the first display of a lateral segment of an element presented a second display, present a portion of the lateral segment on the first display at a first scaling factor and at the same height as the entirety of the lateral segment was presented on the second display. The instructions are also executable to identify a second scaling factor based on a difference in display characteristics between the first display and the second display, and in response to movement of at least a threshold amount of the element onto the first display, present at least the threshold amount of the element on the first display using the second scaling factor. | 05-26-2016 |
| 20160148343 | Information Processing Method and Electronic Device - An information processing method is described that includes obtaining a first operation that is used to select a foreground image from a first picture; determining the foreground image in the first picture based on the first operation; obtaining status information of the foreground image; obtaining a second operation that is used to place the foreground image into a second picture; determining the second picture which serves as a background based on the second operation; obtaining status information of the second picture; determining a target size occupied by the foreground image in the second picture based on the status information of the foreground image and the second picture; scaling the foreground image into the target size; and displaying the foreground image in the second picture with the target size. An electronic device is also described. | 05-26-2016 |

| 20160189342 | AUTOMATIC SCALING OF OBJECTS BASED ON DEPTH MAP FOR IMAGE EDITING - Automatic scaling of image objects being moved or copied to a target object location is presented. An original image and its depth map are received within which the user selects an original object and a target location for the object to be moved or copied. A center of scaling is found and a base location selected at which depth value is to be obtained at the target location for use in scaling. Target object is then scaled in response to a ratio between original object depth and target object depth. An occlusion check is made, after which non-occluded pixels are pasted to the target location to complete the move/copy which is in proper proportion and accounts for surrounding structures. | 06-30-2016 |
| 20160189345 | DISPLAY DEVICE - A display device includes a first display surface displaying vehicle information; and a second display surface which is disposed facing the first display surface and transmits light, has a drawing pattern drawn across a display area and outside the display area of the first display surface when seen from a direction in which the second display surface is stacked on the first display surface, and can switch to a displayed state in which the drawing pattern is displayed and a hidden state in which the drawing pattern is hidden. The display device displays information by the first display surface and the second display surface. The display device can therefore realize a visual effect that makes the display area look relatively large. | 06-30-2016 |
