Abstract: A dual display assembly, which comprises a base in contact with an underlying surface; a rod unit vertically extending from the base; and two separate touch screens laterally extending from, and attached to, the rod unit. Each of the two touch screens is pivotally displaceable independently with respect to the other screen and is able to be sufficiently locked in position after being displaced to a desired angular position to facilitate touch operations therewith. The the rod unit comprises first and second concentric rods that are rotatable about a vertical axis, and a one-way mechanism that is provided within an annular space between the first and second rods for retaining a touch screen in a locked position.

Abstract: A digital multi-lateral system and method for proofreading a composition during a meeting. The system comprises a multi-screened monitor unit having a first screen and at least one oppositely facing second screen mounted in a common housing, images of a selected composition being viewable simultaneously on the first screen and the at least one second screen, a computer coupled to the monitor unit and provided with a dedicated software module for interfacing with the monitor unit, one or more primary and secondary co-author input devices, and means for transmitting signals generated by each co-author input device to the computer. Correction data is transmitted by a co-author input device to the computer, which transmits corrected image data simultaneously to the first and second screens. In one embodiment, the monitor unit receives VGA data and USB video data from the computer and transmits the same to the first and second screens, respectively.

Abstract: An establishment based advertising method and system is described. A server having a database in which is stored a plurality of advertisement software packages is in data communication with a network of interconnected computers, each of which is associated with a monitor unit. After a request for an advertisement is initiated without intervention of a client, an advertisement software package is retrieved from the database according to predetermined selection rules and transmitted to a target computer, for display on a client side screen. In one embodiment, an advertisement software package is retrieved in response to detected client movement, according to predetermined establishment related selection rules and an extracted advertisement-relevant client characteristic. In one embodiment, the monitor unit is multi-screened.

Abstract: An advertising method and system with use of multi-screened computer monitor units is disclosed. A server having a database in which is stored a plurality of advertisement software packages is in data communication with a network of interconnected computers, each of which is associated with a multi-screened monitor unit having an agent side and at least one oppositely facing client side. After a request for an advertisement is initiated, an advertisement software package is retrieved from the database according to predetermined selection rules and transmitted to a target computer. A corresponding advertisement image is displayed on a client side of the monitor unit while the agent is able to view other images on the agent side of the monitor unit. In one embodiment, the multi-screened monitor unit receives VGA data and USB video data from the target computer and transmits the same to the agent and client sides, respectively.
