In some embodiments, the one or more interactive display devices are configured to display data (e.g., video data, image data, etc.) from the one or more connected computing devices on at least a portion of a display screen of the one or more interactive display devices. In particular embodiments, the one or more interactive display devices are configured to pass one or more inputs received at the one or more interactive display devices to the one or more connected computing devices.

Abstract: An Interactive Display System may be configured to enable and facilitate a permanent communications pathway between a display device and each of a plurality of connected computing devices. In particular embodiments, the permanent communication channel is configured to transmit data between each connected computing device and the display device. In particular embodiments, the permanent communications path is facilitated via one or more USB relays. Each USB Relay may be configured to enable a direct connection between each connected computing device and the display device, where both the connected computing device and the display device are configured as USB Hosts. In particular embodiments, the USB Relay is configured as a USB device to each connected computing device and the display device and further configured to pass-through data received at the USB Relay (e.g., as a USB device) to the opposite USB Host.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method, in a learner-response system comprising a computer system and a plurality of user terminals adapted to communicate with the computer system, the method comprising: providing a presentation application adapted for displaying a set of questions associated with a learner-response session via a user interface of the presentation application; providing a learner-response application adapted to be responsive to inputs received from the plurality of user terminals; wherein the method further comprises: forwarding inputs detected by the presentation application as being associated with a learner-response session to the learner-response application; processing such inputs at the learner-response application.

Abstract: A system and method for displaying information from multiple remote computing devices on an interactive display by receiving a first set of information from a first remote computing device that is connected to a first local area network via a first network communication device such as via Ethernet. A second set of information is received from a second remote computing device that is connected to a second local area network via a second network communication device such as Wi-Fi. The system mirrors a first display for the first remote computing device and mirrors a second display for the second remote computing device on an interactive display. This allows two users to simultaneously mirror content from two remote computing devices onto the same interactive display. In an alternate embodiment, the second network communication device may be configured to operate as a wireless access point.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of presenting content, comprising: a first application facilitating the display of a set of content, at least part of the content being associated with a link to a second application, wherein on selection of the link, the second application is enabled and content associated with the second application is displayed.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of establishing a communication network for connecting a plurality of computing devices, comprising: establishing a network under the control of one of the computing devices; running an application on at least one of the computing devices; and controlling access to an application running on a device by at least one other device by defining an access setting for each application running on device.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of provided a collaborative display, comprising: displaying an image on a first display associated with a first computing device; providing a second computing device having a second display; mapping the coordinates of the second display to the first display; in dependence on a current location of the second display relative to the first display, controlling the display of content on the second display.

Abstract: A computer system for creating and displaying a presentation is disclosed. In various embodiments, the computer system receives a request to generate one or more slides and to associate the one or more slides with a particular background. The system then displays a preview of the one or more slides and the associated particular background in a preview area. The system, in one or more embodiments, is configured to display, during the presentation, the one or more slides overlaid on the one or more backgrounds. In a particular embodiment, the computer system is configured to display multiple slides on a single background during the presentation.

Abstract: A computer system for creating and displaying a presentation is disclosed. The computer system may receive a request to generate multiple presentation slides and to associate the slides with a particular background. Later, during a presentation, the system simultaneously displays the slides against the one or more backgrounds within a slide display area. The system may be configured to allow one or more users, during the presentation, to: (1) selectively annotate the slides; (2) save the annotations to memory for future use; (3) independently rotate and/or resize one or more of the first and second slides; (4) remove the first slide from the slide display area independently of the second slide; and/or (5) add one or more additional slides to the slide display area.

Abstract: A system and method that allows a user to interactively display a presentation to one or more viewers. The presentation system allows the presentation to be displayed on an interactive display while one or more mobile computing devices assigned to each viewer connects to the presentation system so that the viewer can view the presentation and also receive one or more slides from the presentation in real-time while the slide presentation is being presented. The received slides may be electronically editable versions of the slides being displayed or electronically editable versions of slides that contain subject matter related to the subject matter of the slides being displayed. The viewers can edit the electronically editable versions of the slides and send the edited versions back to the user during the presentation. The user may then optionally display one or more of the edited slides as part of the presentation.
