Systems and methods for compensating for visual distortion caused by surface features on a display
Systems and methods for compensating for visual distortion caused by surface features on a display are disclosed. For example, one disclosed system includes: a display including one ore more surface features; a processor configured to: receive a display signal including graphical data; determine a location of the surface feature; transform the display signal based at least in part on the location of the surface feature; and cause the transformed display signal to be displayed.
1. A system, comprising:
a display comprising a surface feature, wherein the display comprises a touch-screen;
a processor configured to:
receive a display signal;
determine a location of the surface feature on the display, wherein determining the location of the surface feature on the display comprises:
receiving an indication that a skin comprising at least one surface feature has been placed over a surface of the display;
receiving a signal corresponding to a unique identifier associated with the skin; and
receiving a signal associated with the location of the at least one surface feature from a data store;
transform the display signal based at least in part on the location of the surface feature; and
transmit the transformed display signal to the display.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the surface feature comprises: a trough, a ridge, or a curvature.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein transforming the display signal comprises adjusting one or more of: brightness, hue, contrast, resolution, saturation, image warping, and sharpness.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the display signal comprises data associated with a plurality of pixels.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein transforming the display signal comprises transforming pixels that correspond to the location of the surface feature.
6. A method comprising:
receiving a display signal;
determining a location of a surface feature of a touch-screen display, wherein determining the location of the surface feature on the touch-screen display comprises:
receiving an indication that a skin comprising at least one surface feature has been placed over a surface of the touch-screen display;
receiving a signal from a sensor configured to detect a unique identifier associated with the skin; and
receiving a signal associated with the location of the at least one surface feature from a data store;
transforming the display signal based at least in part on the location of the surface feature; and
transmitting the transformed display signal to the touch-screen display.
7. A method comprising:
receiving a display signal;
determining a location of a surface feature of a display, wherein determining the location of the surface feature on the display comprises:
receiving an indication that a skin comprising at least one surface feature has been placed over a surface of the display;
receiving a signal corresponding to a unique identifier associated with the skin; and
receiving a signal associated with the location of the at least one surface feature from a data store;
transforming the display signal based at least in part on the location of the surface feature; and
transmitting the transformed display signal to the display.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the unique identifier comprises one or more of: a magnetic identifier, a bar code, or an RFID tag.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein generating a transformed display signal comprises adjusting one or more of: brightness, hue, contrast, resolution, saturation, image warping, and sharpness.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the display signal comprises data associated with a plurality of pixels.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein transforming the display signal comprises transforming the pixels that correspond to the location of the surface feature.
12. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with executable program code, the computer-readable medium comprising:
program code to receive a display signal;
program code to determine a location of a surface feature of a touch-screen display, wherein determining the location of the surface feature on the touch-screen display comprises:
receiving an indication that a skin comprising at least one surface feature has been placed over a surface of the touch-screen display;
receiving a signal corresponding to a unique identifier associated with the skin; and
receiving a signal associated with the location of the at least one surface feature from a data store;
program code to transform the display signal based at least in part on the location of the surface feature; and
program code to transmit the transformed display signal to the touch-screen display.
