IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method of scaling, comprising the steps of:
- receiving an image;
displaying the received image;
determining whether an input associated with the image has been received;
selecting a portion of the image based on the input after the input has been received;
determining whether the input continuously has been received for at least a first predetermined amount of time after determining that the input has been received;
determining whether the input continuously has been received for more than a second predetermined amount of time greater than the first predetermined amount of time after determining that the input continuously has been received for at least the first predetermined amount of time;
determining a scaling factor based on an amount of time that the input continuously has been received;
scaling the portion of the image based on the scaling factor to generate a scaled portion of the image; and
displaying the scaled portion of the image adjacent to the image.

Abstract
An image processing device includes a first display section configured to display an image, an input receiving device configured to receive an input associated with the image, and a computer processing unit (CPU). The CPU is configured to determine a selected portion of the image based on the input, to reduce a scaling factor associated with the selected portion of the image as an amount of time that the input device continuously receives the input increases, and to apply the scaling factor to the selected portion of the image to generate a scaled image. The device also includes a second display section configured to display the scaled portion of the image.

15. An image processing device comprising:
-
a display device comprising; a first display portion configured to display an image; a second display portion positioned adjacent to the first display portion; and an input receiving portion configured to receive an input; and a computer processing unit configured to; determine whether an input associated with the image has been received; select a portion of the image based on the input; determine whether the input receiving portion continuously has received the input for at least a first predetermined amount of time; determine whether the input receiving portion continuously has received the input for more than a second predetermined amount of time greater than the first predetermined amount of time; determine a scaling factor based on an amount of time that the input receiving portion continuously has received the input; and scale the portion of the image based on the scaling factor to generate a scaled portion of the image, wherein the second portion is configured to display the scaled portion of the image. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
