First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for adjusting a display of detail-in-context information, the method comprising:
- generating an original presentation to be displayed within a display region of a display, wherein the original presentation includes;
an input image;
a lens within the input image, wherein an extent of the lens is defined by a base, and wherein the input image outside of the base has a constant magnification;
a focal region within the lens, wherein image data in the focal region has a constant magnification, which is greater than the constant magnification outside of the base; and
a shoulder region between the focal region and the base, wherein the shoulder region provides context for the focal region with respect to portions of the image outside of the base by preserving visibility of information surrounding the focal region, wherein the shoulder region has a magnification that varies; and
adjusting the original presentation by;
in a first mode, generating an adjusted presentation to fill the display region with the image data in the focal region;
in a second mode, generating an adjusted presentation to fill the display region with image data in the extent of the lens; and
in a third mode, generating an adjusted presentation to fill the display region with image data from a portion of the input image outside of the focal region, wherein a magnification applied to the image data from the portion of the input image outside of the focal region is the same as the constant magnification of the focal region.

Abstract
A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided for manipulating a presentation of a region of interest within visual information displayed on a display screen of a computer display system. The GUI includes: a first bounding shape surrounding the focal region; a second bounding shape surrounding the shoulder region; a base outline; a pickup point; a slide bar; a move area within the region of interest; at least one zoom area; and, a zoom button.

9. An apparatus for adjusting a display of detail-in-context information, the apparatus comprising:
-
one or more processors and one or more memories together configured to; generate an original presentation to be displayed within a display region of a display, wherein the original presentation includes; an input image; a lens within the input image, wherein an extent of the lens is defined by a base, and wherein the input image outside of the base has a constant magnification; a focal region within the lens, wherein image data in the focal region has a constant magnification, which is greater than the constant magnification outside of the base; and a shoulder region between the focal region and the base, wherein the shoulder region provides context for the focal region with respect to portions of the image outside of the base by preserving visibility of information surrounding the focal region, wherein the shoulder region has a magnification that varies; and adjust the original presentation by; in a first mode, generating an adjusted presentation to fill the display region with the image data in the focal region; in a second mode, generating an adjusted presentation to fill the display region with image data in the extent of the lens; and in a third mode, generating an adjusted presentation to fill the display region with image data from a portion of the input image outside of the focal region, wherein a magnification applied to the image data from the portion of the input image outside of the focal region is the same as the constant magnification of the focal region. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a set of instructions for execution on one or more processors and configured to cause the one or more processors to:
-
generate an original presentation to be displayed within a display region of a display, wherein the original presentation includes; an input image; a lens within the input image, wherein an extent of the lens is defined by a base, and wherein the input image outside of the base has a constant magnification; a focal region within the lens, wherein image data in the focal region has a constant magnification, which is greater than the constant magnification outside of the base; and a shoulder region between the focal region and the base, wherein the shoulder region provides context for the focal region with respect to portions of the image outside of the base by preserving visibility of information surrounding the focal region, wherein the shoulder region has a magnification that varies; and adjust the original presentation by; in a first mode, generating an adjusted presentation to fill the display region with the image data in the focal region; in a second mode, generating an adjusted presentation to fill the display region with image data in the extent of the lens; and in a third mode, generating an adjusted presentation to fill the display region with image data from a portion of the input image outside of the focal region, wherein a magnification applied to the image data from the portion of the input image outside of the focal region is the same as the constant magnification of the focal region. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
