Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 61 words
A method comprising: determining chromaticity corrections corresponding to red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow regions of color in a linear device-dependent coordinate space associated with an output device; applying the chromaticity corrections to device-independent coordinates throughout said corresponding regions of color to produce chromatically corrected device-independent coordinates; and displaying colors on a display based on the chromatically corrected device-independent coordinates.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 61 words
A method comprising: determining chromaticity corrections corresponding to red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow regions of color in a linear device-dependent coordinate space associated with an output device; applying the chromaticity corrections to device-independent coordinates throughout said corresponding regions of color to produce chromatically corrected device-independent coordinates; and displaying colors on a display based on the chromatically corrected device-independent coordinates.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 32 words
The method of claim 1 wherein determining chromaticity corrections further comprises calculating correction factors corresponding to each region of color that are piecewise linear correction functions within the corresponding regions of color.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 23 words
The method of claim 2 wherein each piecewise linear correction function operates on the linear device-dependent coordinates within the corresponding region of color.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 14 words
The method of claim 3 wherein the linear device-dependent coordinates comprise linear RGB coordinates.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 40 words
The method of claim 1 wherein determining chromaticity corrections further comprises calculating a set of correction levels, wherein the correction levels correspond to adjustments to the hue, saturation, and brightness for the corresponding regions of color for the chromaticity corrections.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 14 words
The method of claim 5 wherein the device-independent coordinates comprise coordinates in tristimulus space.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 14 words
The method of claim 5 wherein the device-independent coordinates comprise coordinates in chromaticity space.
