Abstract

There is provided an image display system. The image display system comprises an input unit moving to form a first pattern and a display unit displaying an image which comprises a second pattern corresponding to the first pattern. When a size of the first pattern increases, a shape of the second pattern is substantially identical to the whole shape of the first pattern.

Claims

1. An image display system, comprising:

an input unit responding to movement by forming a first pattern; and

a display unit displaying an image which comprises a second pattern geometrically corresponding to the first pattern, and maintaining a shape of the second pattern substantially identical to the whole shape of the first pattern when the first pattern increases in size in response to an extension of the movement of the input unit.

2. The image display system of claim 1, wherein the display unit comprises a pattern display region, the second pattern is displayed within the pattern display region, and a ratio of a size of the second pattern to the size of the first pattern is not reduced when the second pattern does not contact a boundary of the pattern display region.

3. The image display system of claim 2, wherein when the second pattern reaches the boundary of the pattern display region and when the first pattern is extended such that the second pattern is extended outside the boundary of the pattern display region reached by the second pattern, the ratio of the second pattern to the size of the first pattern is reduced.

4. The image display system of claim 3, wherein the second pattern comprises a second start point which is formed first and a second end point which is formed last, wherein when the second pattern reaches the boundary of the pattern display region and when the first pattern is extended such that the second pattern is extended outside the boundary of the pattern display region reached by the second pattern, the second end point is placed on the boundary of the pattern display region.

5. The image display system of claim 2, wherein the first pattern comprises a first start point which is formed first and a first end point which is formed last, wherein the second pattern comprises a second start point corresponding to the first start point and a second end point corresponding to the first end point, and the second start point is displayed at a center of the pattern display region.

6. An image display system, comprising:

an input unit responding to movement by forming a first pattern; and

a display unit displaying an image which comprises a second pattern geometrically corresponding to the first pattern,

the display unit comprising a pattern display region in which the second pattern is displayed, and the second pattern contacting a first pair of opposite sides of a boundary of the pattern display region.

7. The image display system of claim 6, wherein the boundary of the pattern display region is a quadrangle including the first pair of opposite sides and a second pair of opposite sides.

8. The image display system of claim 7, wherein the second pattern does not contact the second pair of opposite sides of the boundary of the pattern display region.

9. The image display system of claim 8, wherein each of the second pair of opposite sides has a same distance from the second pattern.

10. An image display system, comprising:

an input unit responding to movement by forming a first pattern; and

a display unit displaying an image which comprises a second pattern geometrically corresponding to the first pattern,

the display unit comprising a pattern display region in which the second pattern is displayed, and the second pattern split into a plurality of pages when the second pattern cannot be completely displayed within the pattern display region after the second pattern is extended.

11. The image display system of claim 10, wherein when a size of the first pattern is changed, a ratio of a size of the second pattern to the size of the first pattern is not changed.

12. The image display system of claim 10, wherein when the second pattern is split into the pages, the pages comprise a recently created new page, and the display unit displays the new page.

13. The image display system of claim 10, wherein the pages comprise a first page created first, the first pattern comprises a first start point which is formed first and a first end point which is formed last, the second pattern comprises a second start point corresponding to the first start point and a second end point corresponding to the first end point, and a region of the second pattern included in the first page comprises the second start point.

14. The image display system of claim 13, wherein when the first page is displayed in the pattern display region, the first start point is displayed at a center of the pattern display region.

15. The image display system of claim 10, wherein the display unit further comprises a page identifier which displays information about a page currently being displayed in the pattern display region.

16. The image display system of claim 15, wherein the page identifier is located outside the pattern display region.

17. The image display system of claim 10, wherein the display unit further comprises a first direction indicator indicating a direction in which a page created immediately before the page currently being displayed in the pattern display region is located.

18. The image display system of claim 17, wherein a direction indicated by the first direction indicator is from the center of the pattern display region toward a side of a boundary of the pattern display region which is in contact with a portion of the second pattern which was formed first in the page currently being displayed in the pattern display region.

19. The image display system of claim 18, wherein the display unit further comprises a second direction indicator indicating a direction in which a page created immediately after the page currently being displayed in the pattern display region is located.

20. The image display system of claim 19, wherein the first direction indicator and the second direction indicator are located outside the pattern display region.
