A method and a system for navigating a display screen to search for a desired item of information stored in an electronic device. The electronic device includes a novel fly over user interface (FOUI) capable of receiving commands from a user to provide a zoom out view of the display screen. A user may commence a navigation session by touching the display screen in a non active area or by clicking on a specifically designated icon to activate the user interface. During the navigation session, the display screen is zoomed-out and a magnifying area may appear on the display screen. The user interface enables the user to scroll the zoomed-out display screen by dragging the magnifying area towards an edge of the display screen to find a desired item of information. The display screen may be a display screen of a digital device (e.g., portable computer, personal computer, a cellular telephone, a digital watch, etc). The user may terminate a navigation session by removing the pointer from the display screen.

This invention adds new markings to an original check face prior to tender and processing of the check. These markings, when digitally scanned from the original, are readily interpreted and preserved. During the process of truncating the original with image replacement documents (IRDs) that are the legal equivalent, the new markings solve two major problems when the IRDs are formally introduced into the clearinghouse channel. First, the clipped image of the original check can be properly aligned within a designated region within the IRD based on the uniform markings. Second, data content aligned in reference to the uniform markings preserved in the IRD process can be properly recognized and read as if the software was scanning the original physical document.

The invention is directed to a method for three-dimensional display in which a plurality of individual image elements ajj are made visible simultaneously in a raster of columns i and lines j, wherein the image elements alphaij reproduce partial information from a plurality of views Ak (k-l . . . n) of a scene/object, and adjacent image elements alphaij radiate light of different wavelengths or wavelength regions. The invention is further directed to arrangements for carrying out the method. In a method of the type described above, wavelength-dependent propagation directions are predetermined for the light radiated from the image elements alphaij. The propagation directions within an observation space in which an observer is situated intersect in a plurality of intersection points which correspond to observation positions. From each observation position, one eye of an observer perceives predominantly partial information of a first selection and the other eye perceives predominantly partial information of a second selection from views Ak (k=l . . . n).

A video processing system enhances quality of an overlay image, such as a logo, text, game scores, or other areas forming a region of interest (ROI) in a video stream. The system separately enhances the video quality of the ROI, particularly when screen size is reduced. The data enhancement can be accomplished at decoding with metadata provided with the video data for decoding so that the ROI that can be separately enhanced from the video. In improve legibility, the ROI enhancer can increase contrast, brightness, hue, saturation, and bit density of the ROI. The ROI enhancer can operate down to a pixel-by-pixel level. The ROI enhancer may use stored reference picture templates to enhance a current ROI based on a comparison. When the ROI includes text, a minimum reduction size for the ROI relative to the remaining video can be identified so that the ROI is not reduced below human perceptibility.

Systems and methods for enlarging selectable content. Content that includes selectable items is displayed on a display device through a user interface. When an item is selected, the item is enlarged such that the selected item is more easily viewed. If the item includes text, the text is more legible because it has been enlarged. Other items included in the content that are not currently selected are not enlarged or modified. When a new item is selected, the new item is enlarged and the previously selected item returns to an unselected size and is no longer enlarged.

Outline bleeding of printed images can be reduced in a printer in which ink dots are formed on a print medium, because the amount of ink contained in the dots for forming boundary lines, which bleed easily, is reduced by skipping some dots or varying the dot size. As a result, texts and other printed images having sharply defined outlines can be printed with high legibility.
