Displaying data on lower resolution displays
First Claim
1. A method of displaying information on an lower resolution display comprising:
- receiving data formatted for display on a higher resolution non-interlaced display at a first size;
selectively enlarge a portion of the data displayed on a lower resolution display;
converting data formatted for display at said first size on higher resolution non-interlaced display, for display on a lower resolution interlaced display;
locating high saturation colors which are sufficiently close to one another to result in color distortion; and
correcting for colors that do not convert correctly when switching between interlaced and non-interlaced displays.

Abstract
Data intended to be displayed on a higher resolution display such as a non-interlaced display used as a computer monitor may be converted for display on a lower resolution display such as an interlaced display. The conversion may be done in a way that preserves the intended frame format while enhancing readability. For example, in one embodiment, the frames intended for non-interlaced display may be preserved in size for display in the same frame format on a lower resolution interlaced display. Local magnification may be selectively implemented for particular regions to enhance the readability of those regions. Upon selection, such local magnification may provide pixel loss and color corrections in addition to local magnification. In this way the frame format may be preserved while enhancing readability.

6. A processor based system comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory coupled to said processor, said memory storing instructions that cause the processor to receive data formatted for display on a higher resolution non-interlaced display at a first size, selectively enlarge a portion of the data displayed on a lower resolution display, convert data formatted for display at said first size on higher resolution non-interlaced display, for display on a lower resolution interlaced display, locate high saturation colors which are sufficiently close to one another to result in color distortion, and correct for colors that do not convert correctly when switching between interlaced and non-interlaced displays. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method of displaying information on an lower resolution display comprising:
-
receiving data formatted for display on a higher resolution non-interlaced display at a first size; converting data formatted for display at said first size on higher resolution non-interlaced display, for display on a lower resolution interlaced display; identifying areas of likely color distortion in converting from non-interlaced to interlaced display; and locating high saturation colors which are sufficiently close to one another to result in color distortion.

12. A method of displaying information on an lower resolution display comprising:
-
receiving data formatted for display on a higher resolution non-interlaced display at a first size; converting data formatted for display at said first size on higher resolution non-interlaced display, for display on a lower resolution interlaced display; identifying regions of likely pixel loss; and locating horizontal lines of less than a predetermined thickness and increasing the thickness of such lines.

13. An article comprising a medium for storing instructions that cause a processor based system to:
-
receive data formatted for a display on a higher resolution display; selectively enlarge a portion of the data displayed on a lower resolution display; convert data for display on a higher resolution non-interlaced display for display on a lower resolution interlaced display; and correcting for colors that do not convert correctly when switching between interlaced and non-interlaced displays.
