Patent ID: 6985524

Claim:
A real time video system for outputting to a screen signals for displaying color images that are adjusted for color blindness from original color images encoded in a real time video signal, the video system comprising: a decoder for decoding the video signal into at least one original color signal associated with a color of the original image; a compensation processor coupled with the decoder for receiving the original color signal, the compensation processor including a plurality of separate pre-calculated color point remappings that are configured to compensate for different types of color blindness, that are non-modifiable by a user of the video system, and are not customized by the user prior to and after a vision test is performed by the user, the compensation processor structured to remap the original color signal into multiple different color blind compensated signals by remapping color points from the original color signal, for compensating for multiple different types of color blindness; and display circuitry structured to cause the screen to display an image using the original color signal and simultaneously displaying the same image using the multiple different color blind compensated signals thereby displaying multiple versions of the same image at the same time that compensate for different types of color blindness prior to the user providing color blindness information to the compensation processor.
