Appeal No. 2005-2486
Application No. 10/331,384
The Invention
The invention relates to a hand held display device which operates such that
moving the display back and forth, in conjunction with the user’s “persistence of vision”
makes the image appear to be larger than the size of the display. The display device
has a memory with an image, which has an image size larger than the display size. The
display device has a motion sensor and instructions, which determine the position of the
display and display a portion of the image that corresponds to the position of the
display. See page 3 of appellant’s specification. The instructions also cause the image
on the display to be panned by an amount that matches the movement of the hand held
display. See page 4 of appellant’s specification.
Claim 1 is representative of the invention and is reproduced below:
1. A display circuit for use in a hand held device, comprising:
a display having a predetermined size;
a memory including information relating to an image having an image
size, which is larger than the size of the display;
a motion sensor for detecting the movement of the hand held device
and the corresponding movement of the display; and
a controller, coupled to the motion sensor, including prestored
instructions for determining the current position of the hand held device and for
displaying a portion of the image on the display, corresponding to the present
position of the device, wherein the amount the image being displayed on the
display is panned matches the amount of movement of the hand held device.
