Patent ID: 8374463

Claim:
A method of processing a digital image, and displaying the processed digital image using an electronic display device, the method comprising: receiving the digital image, the digital image having a width (W), a height (H), in unit of pixels, and a first resolution corresponding to W times H, wherein the electronic display device having a second resolution greater than the first resolution; determining at least one pixel of at least one of a topmost edge, a bottommost edge, a leftmost edge, and a rightmost edge of the digital image; determining a quadrangle digital image D 1 having a top edge, a bottom edge, a left edge, a right edge, a D 1 -width that corresponds to a first number of pixels, and a D 1 -height that corresponds to a second number of pixels, wherein the quadrangle digital image D 1 comprises a first portion of the digital image having a third resolution that corresponds to the first number of pixels times the second number of pixels; determining a Top margin that corresponds to a third number of pixels, a Bottom margin that corresponds to a fourth number of pixels, a Left margin that corresponds to a fifth number of pixels, and a Right margin that corresponds to a sixth number of pixels; determining a quadrilateral digital image Q 1 comprising the first portion of the digital image, which corresponds to the quadrangle digital image D 1 , the Top margin, the Bottom margin, the Left margin, and the Right margin, wherein each one of the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right margins comprising any one of a second portion of the digital image and a generated portion, the second portion of the digital image including at least one neighboring pixel of the quadrangle digital image D 1 , the generated portion including at least one generated pixel, and the quadrilateral digital image Q 1 having a fourth resolution greater than the third resolution and at least one of: (i) a Q 1 -width that corresponds to a seventh number of pixels that is larger than the first number of pixels, (ii) a Q 1 -height that corresponds to an eighth number of pixels that is larger than the second number of pixels, and (iii) the quadrangle digital image D 1 is substantially centered within the quadrilateral digital image Q 1 ; generating a quadrilateral digital image Q 2 having a fifth resolution greater than the fourth resolution, wherein the quadrilateral digital image Q 2 is generated using the quadrilateral digital image Q 1 ; and displaying the quadrilateral digital image Q 2 using any one of a first, second, third, and fourth display regions of the electronic display device, wherein any one of the first, second, third, and fourth display regions having a sixth resolution that substantially corresponds to the fifth resolution of the quadrilateral digital image Q 2 .
