Patent ID: 7092008

Claim:
A method for determining and calibrating color display characteristics of a remote user's display so as to be able to provide color corrected images to the user over a network, comprising the steps of: remotely calibrating the remote user's display based solely on user feedback without using calibration devices, by performing substeps of: receiving a request at a server for characterizing the remote user's display; transferring images selected to assist with remote calibration of the remote user's display to the remote user's display upon initiation of color display characterization, said server functioning to permit multiple image providers to provide color corrected images to the user for determining and calibrating color display characteristics of different displays; processing choice data provided by the user in response to the test images to determine color display characteristics of the remote user's display; and automatically notifying the user when a particular image being displayed is color corrected in accordance with said calibration.
