Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 25
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
A method for displaying at least a portion of an image, the method comprising: scaling spots of input data, said input data corresponding to at least a portion of an image, wherein said scaling correlates the spots to pixels of a display device, and produces a scaled image of said portion of the image; and conforming a size of said scaled image of said portion by optical magnification to produce a displayed image of said portion, such that the displayed image of said portion has substantially the same size as the actual size of said portion.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
96 words
A method for displaying at least a portion of an image, the method comprising: scaling spots of input data, said input data corresponding to at least a portion of an image, wherein said scaling correlates the spots to pixels of a display device, and produces a scaled image of said portion of the image; and conforming a size of said scaled image of said portion by optical magnification to produce a displayed image of said portion, such that the displayed image of said portion has substantially the same size as the actual size of said portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method of claim 1 comprising at least controlling said magnification according to a ratio between a desired resolution and a resolution of said image.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 1 comprising converting at least some of said input data into converted data of a lower resolution.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
The method of claim 3 , wherein said converting comprises combining a first number of pixels of said input data into a second number of combined pixels, said second number is smaller than said first number.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
34 words
The method of claim 1 , wherein said input data comprises color data, the method comprising converting at least some of said color data into converted color data corresponding to a plurality of primaries.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
The method of claim 5 , wherein said color data comprises ink data, said converting comprises: converting said ink data into intermediate spectra; and converting said intermediate spectra into the data corresponding to said plurality of primaries.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 5 , wherein said plurality of primaries comprises at least four primaries.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method of claim 1 , wherein said input data comprises CMYK print data.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 1 , wherein said image comprises an image to be printed.
Claim 11
Independent Claim
111 words
A system for displaying at least a portion of an image, the system comprising: a controller to receive input data corresponding to at least a portion of said image; a pixilation device controlled by said controller to scale spots of said input data to correlate the spots to pixels of a display device and to produce a scaled image of said portion; and optical magnification device controlled by said controller to conform size of said scaled image of said portion by optical magnification to produce a displayed image of said portion, such that the displayed image of said portion has substantially the same size as the actual size of said portion.
Claim 12
Independent Claim
111 words
A system for displaying at least a portion of an image, the system comprising: a controller to receive input data corresponding to at least a portion of said image; a pixilation device controlled by said controller to scale spots of said input data to correlate the spots to pixels of a display device and to produce a scaled image of said portion; and optical magnification device controlled by said controller to conform size of said scaled image of said portion by optical magnification to produce a displayed image of said portion, such that the displayed image of said portion has substantially the same size as the actual size of said portion.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
28 words
The system of claim 10 , wherein said controller is able to convert at least some of said input data into converted data of a lower pixel resolution.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
38 words
The system of claim 11 , wherein said controller is able to combine a first number of pixels of said input data into a second number of combined pixels, said second number is smaller than said first number.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
17 words
The system of claim 10 , wherein said magnification device comprises at least an optical zoom lens.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
17 words
The system of claim 10 , wherein said pixilation device comprises at least a spatial light modulator.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
38 words
The system of claim 10 comprising a light source to apply light to said pixilation device, said controller is able to control said light source and said pixilation device based on at least some of said input data.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
16 words
The system of claim 15 , wherein said light source comprises at least a color wheel.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim
16 words
The system of claim 15 , wherein said light source comprises at least four primary colors.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim
34 words
The system of claim 10 , wherein said input data comprises color data, said controller is able to convert at least some of said color data into data corresponding to a plurality of primaries.
Claim 21
Dependent Claim
38 words
The system of claim 18 , wherein said color data comprises ink data, said controller is able to convert said ink data into intermediate spectra, and said intermediate spectra into the data corresponding to said plurality of primaries.
Claim 22
Dependent Claim
16 words
The system of claim 18 , wherein said plurality of primaries comprises at least four primaries.
Claim 23
Dependent Claim
20 words
The system of claim 10 comprising a screen to display a magnified pixilated light pattern resulting from said optical magnification.
Claim 24
Dependent Claim
13 words
The system of claim 10 , wherein said input data comprises CMYK data.
Claim 25
Dependent Claim
15 words
The system of claim 10 , wherein said image comprises an image to be printed.
