| 20100208040 | Preventing interference between primary and secondary content in a stereoscopic display - A method of positioning primary and secondary images on a stereoscopic display device involves ascertaining a perceived depth of the primary image and the secondary image; transforming the perceived depth of at least one of the primary and secondary image data by compressing the perceived depth of the at least one of the primary and secondary image data; and transforming at least one of the primary and secondary image data so as to position the perceived secondary image at a position that will be perceived by a viewer to be situated at a depth when viewed on the stereoscopic display such that the secondary image appears to be situated fully between the primary image and the viewer when viewed stereoscopically. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract. | 08-19-2010 |

| 20080224915 | System and method for effectively implementing a universal remote control device - A system and method for effectively implementing a universal remote control device comprises a configurable control assembly that includes an LCD panel for selectively displaying appropriate sets of control symbols that represent control commands for controlling a plurality of different electronic devices. Device control information for the various different electronic devices may be downloaded into the remote control device to support various desired device control modes for controlling the different respective electronic devices. The control assembly also includes a switch matrix that is transparently implemented to include control switches that are each aligned over a corresponding respective one of the control symbols on the LCD panel. The control assembly further includes a button panel with control buttons that are transparently positioned to permit viewing the control symbols on the display panel through the control buttons. The control buttons may thus be utilized for activating aligned control switches to thereby select corresponding ones of the control commands. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080229370 | TV-centric system - A TV has a TV processor and a display presenting a map showing the topology of the home network of which the TV is a part. Upon initial energization the TV discovers network devices in the home, uploads this information to an Internet server, which in turn sends back to the TV necessary information for configuring the network, without any user interaction to configure network devices. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20090213041 | Solar backlight for transmissive displays - A backlighted electronic transmissive display assembly consistent with certain implementations has an electronic transmissive display panel that produces a visual display using light passing through the panel. A solar light collector collects sunlight. Light is received from the solar light collector and supplied as a backlight to the electronic transmissive display panel. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20100053305 | Stereoscopic video delivery - A method of operation of a de-interlacer/scaler for display of stereoscopic images consistent with certain implementations involves at a de-interlacer/scaler, receiving consecutive frames of video information that contain alternating left and right eye images from a decoder; at the de-interlacer/scaler, disabling all image processing algorithms that utilize pixel data for temporally or spatially adjacent pixels that represent images, where at least one pixel is for the left eye and one pixel is for the right eye; and sending stereoscopic images from the de-interlacer/scaler to a display. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100054585 | Text localization for image and video OCR - In accord with embodiments consistent with the present invention, a first action in recognizing text from image and video is to locate accurately the position of the text in image and video. After that, the located and possibly low resolution text can be extracted, enhanced and binarized. Finally existing OCR technology can be applied to the binarized text for recognition. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract. | 03-04-2010 |
