Patent ID: 7646391

Claim:
A method of calibrating a display device, comprising: detecting a re-calibration event; in response to the re-calibration event querying a display device for a set of color space characteristic values that describe the color space of the display device, the display device having a screen to display content; receiving the set of color space characteristic values from the display device; and building a profile for the display device using the set of color space characteristics by converting a matrix-based format of the set of color space characteristics to a multidimensional table, the multidimensional table being different from a matrix, the multidimensional table containing more information on gamut mapping than the matrix-based format, wherein the profile comprises: the multidimensional table encapsulating display behavior as described by the color space characteristic values, the multidimensional table including values for the display device to preserve a color's hue for out-of-gamut mapping for displaying the content on the screen; and out-of-gamut mapping optimizations.
