20090271848 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COORDINATING DATA SHARING IN A NETWORK WITH AT LEAST ONE PHYSICAL DISPLAY DEVICE - An apparatus for coordinating data sharing in a computer network with at least one physical display device is provided. The apparatus includes a code generator generating at least one unique temporary session connection code (SCC), and a storage device storing associations between each of the at least one SCC and one or more of the at least one physical display device. An interface receives requests from one or more source computers to establish communications sessions for sharing data, and a processor in response to a request establishes a communications session between the requesting source computer and at least one physical display device only in the event that at least one condition is met. The at least one condition includes that a valid SCC is received with the request. The establishing is based on the received SCC. Related methods and computer programs are disclosed. | 10-29-2009 |
20100083109 | METHOD FOR HANDLING INTERACTIONS WITH MULTIPLE USERS OF AN INTERACTIVE INPUT SYSTEM, AND INTERACTIVE INPUT SYSTEM EXECUTING THE METHOD - A method for handling a user request in a multi-user interactive input system comprises receiving a user request to perform an action from one user area defined on a display surface of the interactive input system and prompting for input from at least one other user via at least one other user area. In the event that input concurring with the user request is received from another user area, the action is performed. | 04-01-2010 |
20110035448 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYING VIDEO DATA FROM MULTIPLE SOURCE COMPUTERS IN A MULTI-MONITOR COMPUTER SYSTEM - An apparatus, method and computer program product, for displaying video data from at least one source computer in a multi-monitor computer system, are provided. The apparatus includes a source computer interface for receiving at least video data from at least one source computer, and a multi-monitor interface for providing video data to multiple monitors. A processing structure coordinates routing of video data received via the multi-monitor interface to the monitors based on display requests received from the at least one source computer. | 02-10-2011 |
20110063191 | METHOD OF MANAGING APPLICATIONS IN A MULTI-MONITOR COMPUTER SYSTEM AND MULTI-MONITOR COMPUTER SYSTEM EMPLOYING THE METHOD - A method of managing applications in a multi-monitor computer system ( | 03-17-2011 |
20110134120 | METHOD AND COMPUTING DEVICE FOR CAPTURING SCREEN IMAGES AND FOR IDENTIFYING SCREEN IMAGE CHANGES USING A GPU - A method for identifying changes between a current image and a previous image comprises generating a mask using a graphics processing unit, the mask identifying differences between the current and previous images using the graphics processing unit to identify at least a portion of the current image based on the mask and copying image data of the current image corresponding to the identified portions from memory associated with the graphics processing unit to memory associated with a central processing unit. | 06-09-2011 |
20110199297 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DRAWING AND ERASING CALLIGRAPHIC INK OBJECTS ON A DISPLAY SURFACE - A method of generating a calligraphic ink object, comprising sampling contact coordinates generated by a coordinate input device during writing thereon using a pointer to generate an ink trajectory generally representing the writing; generating an ink envelope, the ink envelope comprising line segments joining pointer instances at the sampled contact coordinates; generating a smoothed ink envelope at least by fitting curves to points on the ink envelope; and drawing the smoothed ink envelope on a display thereby to generate the calligraphic ink object. | 08-18-2011 |
20130215148 | INTERACTIVE INPUT SYSTEM HAVING A 3D INPUT SPACE - An interactive input system comprises computing structure; and an input device detecting at least one physical object carrying a recognizable pattern within a three-dimensional (3D) input space and providing output to the computing structure, wherein the computing structure processes the output of the input device to: recognize the pattern carried by the at least one physical object in the 3D input space; and modify an image presented on a display surface by applying a transition to digital content associated with the at least one physical object based on a detected state of the at least one physical object. | 08-22-2013 |
20140129990 | INTERACTIVE INPUT SYSTEM HAVING A 3D INPUT SPACE - Computerized methods and interactive input systems for manipulation of 3D objects are disclosed. An image of 3D object is displayed on a 2D interactive surface, and input is received and is interpreted for manipulating the 3D object. When the 3D object is selected, rotation control handles indicating available rotation directions are displayed. In one embodiment, the method comprises capturing images of a 3D input space, recognizing at least one object in the images, and comparing the recognized objects in the images to determine a difference therebetween based on a difference threshold. Depending on the outcome of the comparison, the recognized objects are emerged and associated with digital content, or only one of the recognized objects is maintained and associated with digital content. | 05-08-2014 |
20140132639 | METHOD AND COMPUTING DEVICE FOR CAPTURING SCREEN IMAGES AND FOR IDENTIFYING SCREEN IMAGE CHANGES USING A GPU - A method for identifying changes between a current image and a previous image comprises generating a mask using a graphics processing unit, the mask identifying differences between the current and previous images using the graphics processing unit to identify at least a portion of the current image based on the mask and copying image data of the current image corresponding to the identified portions from memory associated with the graphics processing unit to memory associated with a central processing unit. | 05-15-2014 |
