MODIFYING DISPLAY REGION FOR PEOPLE WITH LOSS OF PERIPHERAL VISION
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- at least one computer memory that is not a transitory signal and that comprises instructions executable by at least one processor to;
identify at least one preferred region of a video display having plural regions, including at least one non-preferred region;
receive identification of at least one video item of interest (VII);
identify, in at least one video frame for presentation on the video display, the VII in a frame location corresponding to the non-preferred region of the video display;
identify a distance from the video display at which a viewer is located; and
based at least in part on the distance, present the VII in the preferred region of the video display.

Abstract
The most active part of a video frame is magnified on a display to accommodate people with eye maladies such as glaucoma or perhaps retinitis pigmentosa. An area of interest in a video frame is identified, and that area is expanded or magnified to the center of the display, where people suffering from loss of peripheral vision can best see. Assuming the viewer sits a benchmark distance from the display, the active part of the image is expanded to fit in what can be seen in the center of the display without moving the head left to right and up and down. This may be done by the display recognizing where most of the action is taking place by means of with motion vectors and I-macroblocks, or by allowing the viewer to switch to various predetermined blocks on screen using a remote control.

15. A system comprising:
-
at least one video display; at least one processor to control the video display; and storage with instructions accessible to the processor to cause the processor to; identify that a video item of interest received in a peripheral region in a video frame is to be presented in a central region of the video display; identify a distance from the video display at which a viewer is located; and based at least in part on the distance and responsive to identifying the video item of interest in a peripheral region in a video frame, present the video item of interest (VII) in the central region of the video display. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
