Publication number: 20230129492Abstract: An improved browser application that provides a view with the option of displaying simultaneously content of a plurality of “tabs” of the browser application on one or more displays, regardless of whether the tabs are active or inactive, is described herein. For example, the browser application can display simultaneously the content of multiple tabs and allow a user to resize and reposition the content of any one tab independent of the size, position, or number of other displayed tab content. Thus, in some circumstances, the content of one tab can partially or fully overlap (and therefore partially or fully hide) the content of another tab after a user manipulation of the size or position of tab content.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2022Publication date: April 27, 2023Inventors: Stephen F. Jenks, Duy Lai, Sung-Jin Kim

Patent number: 10037184Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments of the inventions, a display system is disclosed for manipulation of images on tiled displays. The display system can include at least one discrete display device and a control module configured to allow a user to move a graphical representation of an image to a plurality of positions on the at least one discrete display device to thereby define a requested position. The control module can be configured to determine a difference between the requested position and a plurality of predetermined positions on the at least one discrete display device. The control module can also be configured to move and/or stretch the image toward one of the predetermined positions based on the determination of the determined difference.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2017Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: Hiperwall, Inc.Inventors: Stephen F.

Publication number: 20180173486Abstract: A display system is disclosed for animation of media objects on tiled displays. The display system can include a plurality of discrete display nodes and a control module configured to determine a graphical representation of a current state of a media object. The control module can be configured to determine a graphical representation of a future state of the media object. The control module can also be configured to determine a path area on the display nodes comprising a plurality of graphical representations of the media object during a change from the current state to the future state. The control module also can be configured to cause the display nodes overlapping with at least a portion of the path area to prepare to display the media object.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2017Publication date: June 21, 2018Inventors: Sung-Jin Kim, Stephen F. Jenks

Publication number: 20170140131Abstract: A distributed hardware security system can include one or more anti-pirating/license verification devices, such a dongle (or other internal or external devices) that can be used prevent piracy of protected property such as devices, features, software, or selected functionalities thereof while reducing the potential for unintended termination or suspension of access to the licensed property. In some embodiments, a multi-processor system can include a distributed hardware security system having multiple computing devices, such as display nodes, PCs, workstations, or other devices. The security system can include functionality for detecting a plurality of authorized license verification devices on the same system, and for determining if continued access to the licensed property can continue if there is a failure to recognize one or more of the authorized license verification devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2015Publication date: May 18, 2017Inventors: Jeff Greenberg, Stephen F.

Patent number: 8797233Abstract: Presented herein are methods, systems, devices, and computer-readable media for systems for dynamic management of data streams updating displays. Some of the embodiments herein generally relate to presenting video image data on an array of tiled display units, thereby allowing the display of much larger images than can be shown on a single display. Each display unit can include a video image display, a communication mechanism, such as a network interface card or wireless interface card, and a video image controller, such as a graphics card. Attached to the tiled display may be one or more user computers or other sources of video image data. A workstation may also be coupled to the tiled display and to the user computers. Each of the user computers can display data or images on the tiled display simultaneously. Since the tiled display is made up of multiple display units, the images from a single user computer may be on multiple, separate individual display units.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2009Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: The Regents of The University of CaliforniaInventors: Stephen F. Jenks, Sung-Jin Kim
