Problems solved by technology

However, due to the limited screen real estate of handheld devices, or even traditional desktop or laptop computer screen monitors, users are often forced to choose between viewing either the finer graphical detail that may be provided in the context of a zoomed-in focal area of an image or the less detailed graphical data that is available or visible when viewing a broader focal area for the purpose of determining the context of a zoomed-in image.
Although the above technique—namely, increasing or decreasing granularity, resolution, or graphical detail as an image is zoomed—allows a user to view both large and small geographical focus areas of a map

Abstract

Methods and systems for simultaneous local and contextual display comprise displaying a smaller, “local” image on a first surface using a first device having limited screen real estate. A second, larger, “contextual” image is simultaneously displayed on a larger second surface, which may comprise a projector screen or a separate computer monitor screen. The contextual image may be projected onto the second surface using the first device, or the first device may be coupled to a second device for displaying the contextual image. The local image comprises a subset of the contextual image such that a user may view both the fine detail of the local image using the first device and the context of the local image within the contextual image on the second surface.
