Method and system for controlling access in detail-in-context presentations
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- determining whether access is authorized to secured information in a predetermined region of an image; and
distorting said predetermined region by;
applying a distortion function to said image by displacing said image onto said distortion function; and
projecting said image, to which the distortion function has been applied, onto a plane, to present said secured information with context from said image when said determining indicates that access is authorized, wherein said secured information is presented with a graphical user interface (“
GUI”
), over said predetermined region, to receive one or more signals for adjusting said distortion function.

Abstract
A method for controlling access to secured information for a predetermined region of a computer generated original image presented on a display, comprising: determining whether a user is authorized to access the secured information; and, in response to the determining, distorting the original image to produce a distorted region for the predetermined region to provide the user with the secured information on the display.

1. A method comprising:
-
determining whether access is authorized to secured information in a predetermined region of an image; and distorting said predetermined region by; applying a distortion function to said image by displacing said image onto said distortion function; and projecting said image, to which the distortion function has been applied, onto a plane, to present said secured information with context from said image when said determining indicates that access is authorized, wherein said secured information is presented with a graphical user interface (“
GUI”
), over said predetermined region, to receive one or more signals for adjusting said distortion function. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method comprising:
-
determining whether access is authorized to detailed information included in a predetermined region of an image; and magnifying said predetermined region by; applying a magnification function to said image by displacing said image onto said magnification function; and projecting said image, to which the magnification function has been applied, onto a plane, to present said detailed information at a higher resolution than a context region when said determining indicates that access is authorized, wherein said detailed information is presented with a graphical user interface (“
GUI”
), over said predetermined region, to receive one or more signals for adjusting said magnification function. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)

22. One or more computer-readable media comprising instructions that, responsive to being executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to:
-
determine whether access is authorized to secured information included in a predetermined region of an image; and distort said predetermined region through; application of a distortion function to said image through displacement of said image onto said distortion function; and projection of said image, to which the distortion function has been applied, onto a plane, to present said secured information in detail in comparison to a context region of said image, when access is authorized, wherein said secured information is presented with a graphical user interface (“
GUI”
), over said predetermined region, to receive one or more signals that adjust said distortion function. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)

26. A system comprising:
a processor coupled to memory that includes instructions that, responsive to being executed by the processor, cause the system to provide one or more modules that include; a module to determine whether access is authorized to detailed information in a predetermined region of an image presented on a display; a module to generate a presentation on said display through application of a distortion function to said image by displacement of said image onto said distortion function and projection of said image, with the distortion function applied, onto a plane, wherein said presentation includes said predetermined region presented at a higher resolution than a remainder of said image responsive to a determination that access is authorized to said detailed information, said predetermined region being positioned with respect to the remainder of the image so said predetermined region is presented in context with said remainder to indicate said predetermined region'"'"'s location in said image, wherein said module to generate a presentation is configured to present a graphical user interface (“
GUI”
), over said predetermined region, to receive one or more signals that adjust said distortion function.- View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29)

30. One or more computer-readable media comprising instructions that, responsive to being executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to:
-
determine whether access is authorized to secured information in a predetermined region of an image; and magnify the predetermined region through; application of a magnification function to said image through displacement of said image onto said magnification function; and projection of said image, to which the magnification function has been applied, onto a plane, to present said secured information with context from said image when access is authorized to said secured information, said secured information being presented such that said predetermined region'"'"'s location is maintained to show the predetermined region'"'"'s location in the image, wherein said secured information is presented with a graphical user interface (“
GUI”
), over said predetermined region, to receive one or more signals for adjusting said magnification function. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32)
