This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18214752 titled 'System and Method for Displaying a Stream of Images

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for displaying a stream of images on a display device.

  • The first image of the stream is displayed in the determined area, while the remaining parts of the image are displayed in other areas outside the determined area.
  • The display of the first image in the determined area is controlled by a first parameter value, while the display of the remaining parts is controlled by a second parameter value.
