Display of three-dimensional images using a two-dimensional display
First Claim
1. A method for displaying a three-dimensional image, which includes two or more two-dimensional views, on a display device of a mobile information handling device, the method comprising:
- simulating the three-dimensional image on the display device of the mobile information handling device by;
determining a first state of orientation of the mobile information handling device;
selecting a first of the two-dimensional views that is assigned to the first state of orientation;
displaying, on the display device, the first two-dimensional view;
identifying movement of the mobile information handling device from the first state of orientation to a second state of orientation and determining a value associated with the identified movement and a direction of the identified movement;
selecting a second of the two-dimensional views that is assigned to the second state of orientation, wherein the selecting comprises identifying, from the two or more two-dimensional views, a view having a state of orientation that correlates to the value associated with the identified movement, a direction of the identified movement, and the number of the two-dimensional views captured; and
displaying, on the display device, the second two-dimensional view;
wherein each of the two-dimensional views comprise a view of the three-dimensional image having a viewing perspective associated with an orientation of the mobile information handling device and wherein, upon movement of the mobile information handling device, the three-dimensional image is simulated on the display device due to a change in viewing perspective of each of the two-dimensional views, wherein the viewing perspective comprises an object as a focal point in the view and wherein other objects within the view move with respect to the object based upon the value associated with the identified movement and the direction of the identified movement.

Abstract
A device displays one of multiple views of a three-dimensional image and changes the particular view displayed in response to physical movement of the device. Each of the multiple two-dimensional views of a three-dimensional image is associated with orientations or ranges of orientations of the device. The device displays the one of the views associated with the current orientation of the device. As the device is moved from one orientation to another, the device displays the view associated with the current orientation in place of the view associated with the former orientation. The orientation can be angular orientation about a vertical axis or horizontal axis, or both axes.

5. A non-transitory tangible computer readable medium useful in association with a mobile information handling device which includes one or more processors and a memory, the computer readable medium including computer instructions which are configured to cause the computer, by execution of the computer instructions in the one or more processors from the memory, to display a three-dimensional image, which includes two or more two-dimensional views, on a display device of the mobile information handling device, by at least:
-
simulating the three-dimensional image on the display device of the mobile information handling device by; determining a first state of orientation of the mobile information handling device; selecting a first of the two-dimensional views that is assigned to the first state of orientation;
displaying, on the display device, the first two-dimensional view;identifying movement of the mobile information handling device from the first state of orientation to a second state of orientation and determining a value associated with the identified movement and a direction of the identified movement; selecting a second of the two-dimensional views that is assigned to the second state of orientation, wherein the selecting comprises identifying, from the two or more two-dimensional views, a view having a state of orientation that correlates to the value associated with the identified movement, a direction of the identified movement, and the number of the two-dimensional views captured; and displaying, on the display device, the second two-dimensional view; wherein each of the two-dimensional views comprise a view of the three-dimensional image having a viewing perspective associated with an orientation of the mobile information handling device and wherein, upon movement of the mobile information handling device, the three-dimensional image is simulated on the display device due to a change in viewing perspective of each of the two-dimensional views, wherein the viewing perspective comprises an object as a focal point in the view and wherein other objects within the view move with respect to the object based upon the value associated with the identified movement and the direction or the identified movement. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
