Claims 1-4 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Belch.
The Invention
This invention is directed to a circuit and method for
converting high resolution display data to a format suitable for
display on a display device of lower resolution. Only a portion
of the full high resolution image can be displayed on the display
device of lower resolution. Memory accesses to areas which fall
outside the range of applicable data for display on the lower
resolution display device are selectively blocked.
Representative claims 1 and 3 are reproduced below:
1. A circuit for providing automatic virtual display
panning for driving VGA display data on a lower
resolution display comprising, in combination:
frame buffer memory means for storing a full resolution
VGA image;
display means coupled to said frame buffer memory means
and having a resolution less than the resolution of
said frame buffer memory means for providing a display;
VGA controller means for transferring display data in
claims contained in the brief is correct. Note that Amendment C
cancels claim 5. We consider Amendment C as having been entered.
