Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A panoramic image is displayed as two partial images. A first partial image shows approximately 180 degrees of the panoramic image centered about a viewing direction selected by a user. A second partial image shows approximately the remaining 180 degrees of the panoramic image as a mirror image. As a result a user more readily understands the relationship between objects in different parts of the panoramic display.

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 8, 1999 and granted July 23, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 8, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 8, 2021.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
