Abstract

Abstract A page turning effect generating apparatus for video signals which is provided with a memory (331, 332) for storing a video signal (Sa), an output switch (5) for switching incoming video signal (Sb(B)) and a memory output video signal (Sc) in accordance with a switching control signal (Sc), and a control signal generator (11 to 16) including a circuit for generating the switching control signal and a circuit (14) for generating a read address to be supplied to the memory (331, 332), wherein the read address generating circuit (14) includes a convertor for non-linearly converting a first vector which represents one of vector components of a vector expressing a scanning point of a display image from an origin of a modification, and a generator for generating a final vector by synthesizing the non-linearly converted first vector and a second vector which represents another of vector components of the vector, the final vector indicating the read address to be supplied to the memory (331, 332). <IMAGE>

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 144 words
A page turning effect generating apparatus for video signals comprising: (a) memory means for storing video signals; (b) output switch means for switching incoming video signals and memory output video signals in accordance with a switching control signal; and (c) control signal generating means including means for generating said switching control signal, and means for generating a read address to be supplied to said memory means, wherein said read address generating means includes means for non-linearly converting a first vector which represents one of vector components of a vector expressing a scanning point of a display image from an origin of a modification, and means for generating a final vector by synthesizing said non-linearly converted first vector and a second vector which represents another of vector components of said vector, said final vector indicating said read address to be supplied to said memory means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 41 words
A page turning effect generating apparatus as cited in claim 1, wherein said first vector is perpendicular to a page turning edge of said display image, and said second vector is parallel to said page turning edge of said display image.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
A page turning effect generating apparatus as cited in claim 2, wherein said non-linearly converting means includes look-up table memory means for converting a length of said first vector.
