Patent number: 9317245Abstract: Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for displaying images. The apparatus includes a first image output unit, a second image output unit, an image signal selection unit, and an image display unit. The first image output unit is set to master operation mode, and outputs an image signal to be displayed. The second image output unit is set to slave operation mode, and, if the first image output unit has failed, is switched to master operation mode and then continuously outputs the image signal or a new image signal. The image signal selection unit compares the IP source address of a received master message with previously stored address information, and then selects the image signal that is received from the first image output unit or the second image output unit that has a matching address. The image display unit displays the selected image signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2014Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: Electronics and Telecommunications Research InstituteInventors: Sang Yoon Oh, Kwang Yong Lee, Beob Kyun Kim, Seong Moon

Patent number: 9035972Abstract: Labels to be displayed along an axis may be obtained as a sequence of labels. If it is determined that the labels in an original sequence of labels overlap, then an alternate sequence of labels that avoids the overlap of the labels may be determined. If it is determined that the labels in the original sequence of labels do not overlap, than the original sequence of labels may be displayed along the axis. If it is determined that the labels in the original sequence of labels overlap, then the alternate sequence of labels may be displayed.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2012Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: SAP SEInventor: Kedar Shiroor

Patent number: RE47152Abstract: Technologies are described herein for altering the appearance of a digital image using a shape. A mask edit mode of operation is provided in which an application program displays a mask shape superimposed on a digital image. The application program also provides user interface controls for altering the size, position, and rotation of the digital image independently of the mask shape, and user interface controls for altering the size, position, and rotation of the mask shape independently of the digital image. When a cropping request is received, the portion of the digital image within the mask shape is mapped onto the mask shape, thereby creating a mask-cropped shape, and a normal editing mode is entered. In the normal editing mode a set of user interface controls is provided for modifying the size, position, and rotation of the mask-cropped shape.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2015Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Larry T.
