Electronic image visualization system and communication methodologies
First Claim
1. A method for providing for video display of an image responsive to image data stored in an image database, the method comprising:
- defining a page of image data from the image database;
defining first slices of the image data for a first orientation;
defining in a second orientation second slices of the first slices to define logical sections;
ordering the first slices from beginning to end;
ordering the second slices from beginning to end;
mapping the first slices, the second slices, the logical sections, and the ordering of the first slices and of the second slices;
storing the mapping in a memory for selective retrieval; and
providing for the video display of the image responsive to the mapping and the storing.

Abstract
An electronic image visualization system, such as a music stand system and display, management and communications methodologies relating thereto are presented. The electronic music stand system is comprised of a performer subsystem comprising a processing subsystem, librarian logic, performance logic, and communications management logic. The communications management logic provides management of communication via the communications interface with external apparatus responsive to the performance logic and the librarian logic. The user input apparatus and the display apparatus can be integrated into a touch-screen input display. The user input apparatus can alternatively be at least one of a touch-tablet, a stylus-based writing tablet, a mouse, a keyboard, a joystick, a game controller, and a switch. In a preferred embodiment, the librarian logic, the performance logic and the communications management logic are defined by program data stored in the data storage apparatus, and the processor is responsive to the program data for managing data formatting, displaying music, and management of communications of data with the external apparatus. In one embodiment, two Performer subsystems are operable alternatively as one of a single appliance as a linked set a linked mode and as two independent appliances a stand-alone mode, wherein in the linked mode each of the two Performer subsystems operate cooperatively with each other as a linked set to provide a two page display on the video presentation, and wherein in the stand alone mode each of the two Performer subsystems operates independently and mutually exclusive of the other to provide two independent and mutually exclusive single page displays on the video presentation. The present invention also relates to a method for providing for video display of music responsive to the music data stored in a music database. The method is comprised of defining a page of music image data from the music database; defining ordered logical sections; storing the mapping in a memory for selective retrieval; and providing for the video display of the music responsive to the mapping and the storing.

13. An image display system comprising:
-
a source of an image database providing image data representative of visual images;
a video display providing a video presentation having a defined display size;
a processing subsystem comprised of a processor, memory providing instruction data and other data; and
a user input providing at least for user selection of the display size, wherein the processor is responsive to the user selection of the display size and to the instruction data for compatibility with the defined display size, providing for successive sub-sectioning of a composition of the image data providing for definition of a page of image data from the image database;
definition of first slices of the image data for a first orientation; and
definition of a second orientation of second slices of the first slices to define logical sections;
wherein the processor provides for ordering the first slices from beginning to end; and
then ordering the second slices from beginning to end;
wherein the processor provides for storing in the memory a mapping of the first slices and of the second slices for selective retrieval; and
wherein the video display provides a visual presentation of visual images responsive to the mapping. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A method of displaying performance notation for performance data comprising:
-
defining parameters for selecting logical sections from the performance data;
defining parameters for determining logical ordering of the logical sections and for defining advancement of display of the performance data;
defining the slices and the logical ordering responsive to the parameters;
evaluating the performance data to find a largest logical section, responsive to the parameters, utilizing the largest logical section to define a scale for other ones of the logical sections to be displayed; and
,displaying the performance data as a video display presentation responsive to the defined slices and the defined logical ordering. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
