Display system and method for delivering multi-view content
First Claim
1. A display system comprising:
- one or more multi-view (MV) pixels, wherein each MV pixel is configured to emit beamlets in different directions in a beamlet coordinate system;
an input node which, in operation, receives a specification of multiple viewing zones for multiple viewers, respectively, located relative to the MV pixels in a viewing zone coordinate system; and
a processor which is coupled to the input node and which, in operation;
determines a mapping that translates between the viewing zone coordinate system and the beamlet coordinate system;
in response to the specification of the multiple viewing zones,associates multiple contents with the multiple viewing zones, respectively; and
for each of multiple images generated from the multiple contents, using the mapping, identifies a bundle of beamlets from each of the MV pixels directed to one viewing zone to form the image, wherein the bundle of beamlets directed to one viewing zone to form one image for one viewer is different from the bundle of beamlets directed to another viewing zone to form another image for another viewer different from said one viewer; and
outputs control signaling for the MV pixels, the control signaling defining color and brightness of each of the beamlets in each bundle to project the corresponding image to the corresponding viewing zone;
wherein the MV pixels, in response to the control signaling from the processor, projects the multiple images to the multiple viewing zones, respectively.

Abstract
A display system includes one or more multi-view (MV) pixels, each configured to emit beamlets in different directions in a beamlet coordinate system. The display system includes an input node which receives a specification of multiple viewing zones located relative to the MV pixels in a viewing zone coordinate system, and a processor coupled to the input node. The processor associates multiple contents with the multiple viewing zones, respectively, and determines a mapping that translates between the viewing zone coordinate system and the beamlet coordinate system. For each of multiple images generated from the multiple contents, the processor, using the mapping, identifies a bundle of beamlets from each of the MV pixels directed to one viewing zone to form the image. The processor outputs control signaling that defines color and brightness of each of the beamlets in each bundle to project the corresponding image to the corresponding viewing zone. The MV pixels, in response to the control signaling, project the multiple images to the multiple viewing zones, respectively.

14. A display method comprising:
-
receiving a specification of multiple viewing zones located in a viewing zone coordinate system, wherein the multiple viewing zones are for multiple viewers, respectively, and positioned relative to one or more multi-view (MV) pixels, and each MV pixel is configured to emit beamlets in different directions in a beamlet coordinate system; determining a mapping that translates between the viewing zone coordinate system and the beamlet coordinate system; in response to the specification of the multiple viewing zones, associating multiple contents with the multiple viewing zones, respectively; and for each of multiple images generated from the multiple contents, using the mapping, identifying a bundle of beamlets from each of the MV pixels directed to one viewing zone to form the image, wherein the bundle of beamlets directed to one viewing zone to form one image for one viewer is different from the bundle of beamlets directed to another viewing zone to form another image for another viewer different from said one viewer; generating control signaling for the MV pixels, the control signaling defining color and brightness of each of the beamlets in each bundle to project the corresponding image to the corresponding viewing zone; and in response to the control signaling, projecting, from the MV pixels, the multiple images to the multiple viewing zones, respectively. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
