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 display;
selectively enlarging a portion of the information on the lower resolution display; and
locating horizontal lines of less than a predetermined thickness and increasing the thickness of such lines; and
identifying regions of likely pixel loss.

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.

7. A processor based system comprising:
-
a processor to preserve the display size as a non-interlaced information so that a frame of non-interlaced information is displayed as a frame of interlaced information; and a memory coupled to said processor, said memory storing instructions that cause the selective enlargement of data intended for display on a higher resolution display when said data is displayed on a lower resolution display, wherein said processor is adapted to convert data formatted for display on a higher resolution, non-interlaced display for display on a lower resolution interlaced display. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
