Abstract

Abstract To provide an environment-compliant image display system and information storage medium, there is provided a color control processing update section which corrects colors by adjusting a LUT in a 3D-LUT storage section and corrects brightness by adjusting γ values in a 1D-LUT storage section, to increase an output value in at least a lower grayscale range when the environment is affected by ambient light, based on environmental information that has been obtained by a colored-light sensor.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 87 words
An environment-compliant image display system which corrects an image, based on environmental information that expresses visual environment in an area in which the image is displayed, and displays the image; the image display system comprising: correction means which corrects input-output characteristic data for display that is used by a means for displaying the image, the correction being in such a manner as to increase an output value in at least a lower grayscale range when the environment is affected by ambient light, based on the environmental information.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 42 words
The image display system as defined in claim 1, wherein the correction means corrects the input-output characteristic data by performing a predetermined calculation using parameters that differ between a lower grayscale range and a grayscale range other than the lower grayscale range.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 51 words
The image display system as defined in claim 1 or 2, wherein the correction means corrects the input-output characteristic data by performing a predetermined calculation based on a difference between a brightness value for actual environment which is comprised within the environmental information, and a brightness value for an ideal environment.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 33 words
The image display system as defined in any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the correction means performs gamma correction as at least part of the correction of the input-output characteristic data.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 62 words
The image display system as defined in any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the correction means corrects color modification information that is stored in a predetermined storing region, in such a manner that a color temperature of the image to be displayed is adjusted, based on a brightness value for the actual environment that is comprised within the environmental information.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 19 words
The image display system as defined in claim 5, wherein the color modification information is a three-dimensional look-up table.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 96 words
An information storage medium including a program for correcting an image based on environmental information that expresses visual environment in an area in which the image is displayed, and displaying the image, the information storage medium comprising a program for implementing in a computer: correction means for correcting input-output characteristic data for display that is used by a means for displaying the image, the correction being in such a manner as to increase an output value in at least a lower grayscale range when the environment is affected by ambient light, based on the environmental information.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 42 words
The information storage medium as defined in claim 7, wherein the correction means corrects the input-output characteristic data by performing a predetermined calculation using parameters that differ between a lower grayscale range and a grayscale range other than the lower grayscale range.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 51 words
The information storage medium as defined in claim 7 or 8, wherein the correction means corrects the input-output characteristic data by performing a predetermined calculation based on a difference between a brightness value for actual environment which is comprised within the environmental information, and a brightness value for an ideal environment.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 33 words
The information storage medium as defined in any one of claims 7 to 9, wherein the correction means performs gamma correction as at least part of the correction of the input-output characteristic data.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 62 words
The information storage medium as defined in any one of claims 7 to 10, wherein the correction means corrects color modification information that is stored in a predetermined storing region, in such a manner that a color temperature of the image to be displayed is adjusted, based on a brightness value for the actual environment that is comprised within the environmental information.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 19 words
The information storage medium as defined in claim 11, wherein the color modification information is a three-dimensional look-up table.
