Patent Images
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a controller to receive user selected information including a scale factor to scale the electronic representation of the portion of the image associated with at least a portion of an image on a display device;
a memory region to store an electronic representation of the image; and
a video overlay engine coupled to the controller, the video overlay engine to scale an electronic representation of the portion of the image, provide the scaled portion of the image to the display device as an overlay over the image on the display device, and dynamically update the scaled portion of the image.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for scaling is provided. The method comprises enabling a user to identify at least a portion of an image on a display device. The method comprises enabling scaling of an electronic representation of the portion of the image using an overlay engine. The apparatus comprises a controller and a video overlay engine that is coupled to the controller. The controller is provided to receive user selected information associated with at least a portion of an image on a display device. The video overly engine is provided to scale an electronic representation of the portion of the image using a video overlay engine.
