Patent number: 8300022Abstract: A dynamically reconfigurable touch screen system includes a first display having a first touch screen, a second display having a second touch screen, the second display being operatively connected to the first display, at least one sensor operatively associated with one of the first and second displays. The at least one sensor detects a physical orientation of the one of the first and second touch screens. The dynamically reconfigurable touch screen system further includes a controller linked to the at least one sensor. The controller sets a display of the other of the first and second touch screens based on the physical orientation of the one of the first and second touch screens.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2009Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert J. Brenneman, Eli M. Dow, William J. Huie, Sarah J. Sheppard

Patent number: 8299979Abstract: A two-way visual communication system using multiple imaging devices, and a method for operating such a device is described. An embodiment of the present invention may use an image processor to analyze and modify image data from one or more imaging devices, and from the far-end party, in order to improve the perceived level of eye contact experienced by the users. The output signals from the imaging devices may be individually selected for transmission to the far end party, or may be used in combination in the synthesis of a composite image, using information derived from the imaging devices and/or from the image of the far-end party.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2003Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Darwin Rambo, Philip Houghton

Patent number: 8281249Abstract: An apparatus for visually displaying an item of status information relating to a technical process is provided, the item being obtained using a process visualization system. The apparatus includes image generating means for generating an image with two image sections, wherein a display window associated with the process visualization system is displayed in the image. An information region for displaying the status information is provided in the display window. The display window is continuously configured by a user. The apparatus has image control means configured to detect a configuration of the display window carried out by the user, to determine image section regions of the display window which have been placed into individual image sections, to compare the image section regions which have been determined with a predefined selection criterion, and to automatically arrange an information region in each image section region of the display window satisfying the selection criterion.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2008Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Raimund Nolte, Sven Syassen

Patent number: 8279139Abstract: When a first display device displays image data, a display control apparatus reserves a memory space having the first horizontal pixel number in the storage unit, and sets the frequency of a clock signal supplied to the display control unit to a first frequency. When a second display device displays image data, a display control apparatus reserves a space of the second horizontal pixel number, which is higher than the first horizontal pixel number, and sets the frequency of a clock signal supplied to the display control unit to a second frequency which is higher than the first frequency.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2008Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Canon Kabuashiki KaishaInventor: Zenya Kawaguchi

Patent number: 8279204Abstract: A viewer tool for viewing data in a software environment provides features for viewing and exploring a data set. The data set may be a multi-dimensional data set. The viewer tool may be coupled to a test environment that generates data from the tests of a unit under test (UUT). The data may be generated from one or more sequences of tests that can be divided into batches. The viewer tool may receive the data from the test environment and analyze the data to provide a user with useful information on the data. The viewer tool may display the data with the information so that the user can obtain the information on the data. In particular, the viewer tool identifies the relationship between the measured test data and the various test conditions under which the test data has been measured.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2005Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: James G. Owen, Lynn M. Cherny, Jenifer Tidwell, Rong Chen

Patent number: 8276087Abstract: A method for making multi-divided display contents and a system thereof are disclosed. In the method for making multi-divided display contents and a system thereof, a user is able to freely make or edit a multimedia display content by using a DB design system provided on the web and a user interface without a professional skill or knowledge. A new image type can be expressed along with a change in part of the data in the thusly-created multi-divided display contents, a remaking or a change in a display construction combination. In case that the original data cooperating with a XML on a specific divided display in the multi-divided display is being changed in real time, the divided display cooperating with XML in the whole images can be automatically changed depending on the change of the contents.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2008Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Inventor: Gi Yun Kim
