Abstract: A touch screen includes a display unit and an operation input receiving unit that receives a touch. A display control unit allows a state of display on the display unit to transit from a first state in which an image is displayed as a front side of a card to a second state in which an additional information image is displayed as a rear side of the card. In response to a determination that the operation input receiving unit has detected in the first state that a touched location is a border of the image, an additional information access entrance is displayed at the border. When the operation input receiving unit detects a tracing operation in which the touch moves by a predetermined distance while touching the operation input receiving unit, the tracing operation starting from the additional information access entrance, the state of display is forced to transit.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for improved rasterization of round points mapped into a tile space within a graphics processing pipeline. A set of candidate tiles are selected based on proximity to a round point. A tile within the set of candidate tiles may be rejected based on a rejection boundary. A tile may be rejected if no vertex associated with the tile is within the coverage area. Performance is improved by rejecting certain unneeded tiles that would otherwise be included in conventional rasterization. One embodiment advantageously enlists line drawing circuitry to determine whether a given tile intersects the coverage area.

Abstract: In an image viewing system, a medical image is displayed on a display panel having a predetermined aspect ratio. One of a horizontal orientation and a vertical orientation in which the display panel is positioned is detected. A longitudinal direction of the display panel is vertical in case of the vertical orientation, and is horizontal in case of the horizontal orientation. The medical image is processed in rotation processing relative to the display panel by maintaining a size of the medical image in compliance with one of the horizontal and vertical orientations of the display panel, to orient the medical image in a proper orientation relative to a viewing direction to the display panel. Assuming that a blank area is created outside a display area of the medical image on the display panel after the rotation processing, relevant information relevant to the medical image is displayed in the blank area.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for handling portrait mode oriented display surfaces without requiring expensive hardware in the display sub-system are disclosed. For example, an apparatus is disclosed such that the rendering of graphics data to the portrait mode display surfaces is redirected at rendering time such that there is no need for adding complicated hardware in the display part of the graphics adapter in order to handle conventional displays—all of which have no circuitry to deal with data natively stored in a portrait mode surface. Additionally, an apparatus to handle direct surface access of a surface through a surface lock which has already been rotated is already described. This can either be done by copying of surface data or by an optimized proposed apparatus which eliminates this copy. Other implementations are also disclosed.

Abstract: Amalgamated maps, comprising interior maps overlaid on venues indicated in general maps can be automatically generated. Initially, interior maps can be obtained through targeted network searches, whose search results can be filtered to retain those that are most likely useable interior maps. A bounding polygon is generated for both interior map and venue exterior from general map. Subsequently, directional histograms representing orientations of lines in bounding polygons are generated and compared to automatically identify a rotation to align the interior map with the venue exterior from the general map. Anchor points are identified to locally deform the interior map, preserving internal structures, to better align with the venue exterior. Once aligned, the interior map can be combined with the general map, forming an amalgamated map. Updated geocoding can be performed based on locations of establishments in the venue as indicated by the interior map.
