System For Converting Coded Data Into Display Data

View page
US Patent:
41278496, Nov 28, 1978
Filed:
Jan 11, 1977
Appl. No.:
5/758415
Inventors:
Joseph K. Okor - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G06K 1520
US Classification:
340324AD
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved data converter system that will accept the 3-D definition or description of a geometric object or symbol and convert it into a form suitable for display on a 2-D display device. Once a symbol has been defined, it may be manipulated in several ways, a few of which are rotation of the symbol and moving the symbol from one location to another. Special effects may also be performed on the symbols on display, some of which include fade-in, fade-out and zoom. The data converter system also includes a video distributor that makes it possible to display the resulting picture of the symbols on a plurality of display devices each adapted to show part or all of the picture.

US Patent:
41268512, Nov 21, 1978
Filed:
Jan 11, 1977
Appl. No.:
5/758414
Inventors:
Joseph K. Okor - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G06K 1520
US Classification:
340324AD
Abstract:
A television game system is provided wherein a modular unit may be connected to a standard television receiver for the generation, display and control of symbols or geometric figures on the television screen to allow one or several players to participate in a game in which the action is presented on the screen. The modular unit is programmable whereby several different games may be played selectively with the same unit, allowing flexibility in the range of operation of the unit as well as the television receiver. The level of complexity of the games can be adjusted to each player's ability whereby players of different ability can play each other on a competition basis. The system includes circuit components such as a light pen for providing positional information of a symbol on the screen, one or more control units used to control symbols on display and also to send other control information to a computer, a display module which not only generates geometric symbols but formats the video information in such a way that it may be connected to different television receivers and each receiver will show a different aspect of the game or a completely different game.
