Apparatus and method for controlling image display
First Claim
1. An apparatus for controlling a display of one frame of an image having a predetermined size in a window, said apparatus comprising:
- comparison means for comparing at least one of a length in the vertical direction and a length in the horizontal direction of one frame of an image with a length of the window in the corresponding direction;
compression means for adjusting said at least one length of the frame to the length of the window in the corresponding direction by compressing at least a portion of the frame in the direction of said at least one length if said at least one length of the frame is larger than the length of the window in the corresponding direction, the other portion of the frame being not compressed in the corresponding direction; and
output means for outputting the frame having the at least one portion compressed by said compression means and the other portion not compressed by said compression means.

Abstract
An apparatus and a method for controlling image display arranged to enable an entire image to be recognized in one window. Image data is compressed in the direction of width so that the width defined by the image data is adjusted to the width of the window. Image data thereby compressed is is divided with respect to first to third storage areas. An image corresponding to the second storage area is directly displayed in a second display area in the window. Images corresponding to the first and third storage areas are displayed in first and third display areas in the window by being compressed in the vertical direction.

8. A method of controlling display of one frame of an image having a predetermined size in a window, said method comprising the steps of:
-
comparing at least one of a length in the vertical direction and a length in the horizontal direction of one frame of an image with a length of the window in the corresponding direction; and displaying the entire frame in the window by compressing at least a portion of the frame in the direction of said at least one length if said at least one length of the frame is larger than the length of the window in the corresponding direction, the other portion of the frame being not compressed in the corresponding direction.

9. An apparatus for controlling a display of an image having a predetermined size in a window, the apparatus comprising:
-
a comparison software module for comparing at least one of a vertical and a horizontal dimension of an image with a corresponding dimension of a window; a compression software module for adjusting the dimension of the image to the corresponding dimension of the window by compressing one or more portions of the image in the direction of the compared dimension if the compared dimension of the image is larger than the corresponding dimension of the window, wherein at least one portion of the image is not compressed in the corresponding dimension; and a display for outputting the image including the portion compressed by the compression software module and the portion not compressed by the compression software module. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of controlling display of one frame of an image having a predetermined size in a window, the method comprising the steps of:
-
comparing a height of a frame of an image with a height of a window; comparing a width of a frame of an image with a width of a window; and displaying the entire frame in the window by compressing one or more portions of the height of the frame if the height of the frame is larger than the height of the window wherein at least one portion of the height remains not compressed in a vertical direction. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
