  • Patent number: 10313885
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for managing profiles for use with touch systems. A user logs into a communal device using a pointer paired with a mobile device. The communal device is authenticated and retrieves the user's profile. The user profile is used to setup a workspace on the communal device. The workspace is granted access to the user's content on a content server. When the communal device has multiple users, each workspace may be shared or not depending on the user's requirements. Each pointer is individually identified to a particular user and workspace.

  • Publication number: 20180246617
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an interactive touch system on a transparent medium and more particularly, the present invention relates to a method and system for improving the contrast of writing on an interactive touch system on a transparent medium. The interactive device has an interactive surface having an interior side and an exterior side. The interior side is observed by at least one emitter and at least one detector. The interactive surface has a privacy layer; the privacy layer transforming between a transparent and a non-transparent state. A processing structure executing instructions detects a pointer contacting the interior side of the interactive surface; and applies a signal to the privacy layer to transform the privacy layer into the non-transparent state.
