Patent ID: 8542241

Claim:
A method of displaying an original 3D content on a 3D enabled display device where the 3D enabled display device does not support an original 3D format type of the original 3D content, said method comprising: reading a portion the original 3D content to obtain an identity of the original 3D format type; detecting a display hardware; determining a supported 3D format type that the display hardware supports by first looking at the extended display identification data of the display hardware, wherein the determining step further comprises the step of identifying the proper orientation of at least one image being displayed simultaneously, by moving the at least one image along an X-axis, and compares a similarity between the said at least one image with another image; finding out whether or not there is a match between the original 3D format type of the original 3D content and the supported 3D format type that the display hardware supports; if there is a match, continuing playing the original 3D content and displaying the original 3D content on the display hardware; and if there is not a match, converting the original 3D content into a converted 3D content having a converted 3D format type that matches with the supported 3D format type that the display hardware supports, and playing the converted 3D content and displaying the converted 3D content on the display hardware.
