Patent ID: 8060329

Claim:
A display-device inspection method for inspecting a display device on viewing an image displayed on a screen of the display device, comprising: a position nominating step of allowing identification position nominating means to nominate an attention area in the screen thereby executing an identification of the attention area; an extracting step of allowing attention area information extracting means to extract both positional information and shape information related to the attention area; a storing step of allowing attention area information storing means to classify and store the positional information and the shape information on a basis of a predetermined standard of classification; an outputting step of allowing analysis result outputting means to output inspection result information constructed by analyzing contents stored in the attention area information storing means; and a correcting step of correcting the positional information and the shape information related to the attention area extracted at the position nominating step or the extracting step, wherein the correcting step further includes an addressing step, comprising: a storing step of storing coordinates of a point inputted by using the identification position nominating means, as an initial value; a judging step of judging whether a distance between the initial value stored at the storing step and coordinates of a point forming the attention area as an object to be corrected is less than a predetermined value or not; if the distance at the judging step is less than the predetermined value, a first moving step of moving the coordinates of the point forming the attention area in a direction of X-axis or Y-axis by a predetermined amount; if the distance at the judging step exceeds the predetermined value, a second storing step of storing coordinates of a point successively inputted from the identification position nominating means; a calculating step of calculating a difference between the coordinates stored at the second storing step and the coordinates of the initial value; a second moving step of moving the coordinates of the initial value by the difference calculated at the calculating step; and a repeating step of repeating the second storing step so long as values at the second storing step continue to be renewed.
