Title: Joann M Taylor: Innovator in Color Control Technology
Introduction
Joann M Taylor is a notable inventor based in Beaverton, OR (US). She has made significant contributions to the field of color control technology, holding a total of 3 patents. Her work focuses on enhancing the user experience in graphic image generation through innovative interface systems.
Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is the "Computer display color control and selection system." This invention provides an interface system that allows users to select and control colors used in graphic images generated by a computer system. The system employs graphical representations of hue, chroma, and lightness combinations that can be rendered by a computer graphics system. A preferred embodiment includes a one-dimensional graph depicting the range of hues and a two-dimensional graph illustrating the range of chroma and value combinations available for a selected hue. The graphical representations are rendered in accordance with a Hue-Value-Chroma ('HVC') color space, which offers a high degree of perceptual uniformity.
Another significant patent is the "Display-based color system." This method and apparatus enable the reversible transformation of color selected from a gamut of colors producible by the primaries of a color display device into a perceptually uniform color space. The coordinates of this color space can be easily converted into internationally accepted standards for color measurement. Additionally, the invention provides a method for transforming the color space coordinates of a selected color into the corresponding relative primary intensity levels of the display device.
