IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18314896 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The technique described in this patent application allows for saving screenshots with the correct display angles of view from a head-mounted display (HMD).

  • The technique also allows for checking the situation outside the display angles of view when saving the screenshot.
  • When a screen capture command is received, the system acquires wide angle images and display angle-of-view information.
  • The wide angle images are set as image data to be stored in the main image region of an image file.
  • The acquired display angle-of-view information is set as data to be stored in the metadata region of the image file.
  • An image file of the screenshot is generated according to these settings and saved in a hard disk drive (HDD).


Original Abstract Submitted

The technique disclosed herein makes it possible to save a proper screenshot, i.e., images with display angles of view of an HMD, and also enable one to check a situation even outside the display angles of view at the time of saving the screenshot. When receiving a notification that a screen capture command is received from a command receiver, an image file generator acquires wide angle images from a wide angle image generator, acquires display angle-of-view information from a display image generator, sets the wide angle images as image data to be stored in a main image region of an image file, sets the acquired display angle-of-view information as data to be stored in a metadata region of the image file, generates an image file of a screenshot according to the settings, and saves the image file in an HDD.
