Patent number: 8723874Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for efficiently and intelligently communicating characteristic information in video graphics switcher environments. An intelligent video graphics switcher obtains display device characteristic information associated with multiple display devices and maintains updated characteristic information. When an event such as a connection/disconnection or switching event occurs between the video graphics switcher and a display device, the characteristic information is communicated to an appropriate host by triggering a connection/disconnection event with the host.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: RGB SpectrumInventors: Don Day, David Haycock

Publication number: 20120139840Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for efficiently controlling source computers connected to a display system. A control computer, source computers, and a video processor are connected over a control network. Input signals such as keyboard and mouse input signals are provided to the video processor and the source computers through the control network. The source computers are also connected to the video processor through a video interface, such as multiple Digital Video Interface (DVI) lines. The use of a hybrid system allows flexibility in configuring and using the control network while providing high throughput and low latency for video sent to the video processor.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2012Publication date: June 7, 2012Applicant: RGB SpectrumInventors: Don Day, Konstantin Timokhin

Publication number: 20050027839Abstract: When the number of characters typed in an instant message window reaches a preset length parameter, the partially typed message is automatically sent to the message recipient with an ellipsis appended to the end of the partial message to inform the message recipient they have received only a portion of the message. While the partial message is transmitted, the message sender continues to type the message without interruption, and if the number of characters input into the message window since the last transmission reaches the preset length parameter, the latest partially typed message is automatically transmitted. The process repeats as the message sender continues to type the message, causing portions of the message to be automatically transmitted to the recipient during the composition process, until the sender selects send and the entire composed message, comprising a concatenation of all transmitted partial messages and any remaining typed characters, is sent to the recipient.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2003Publication date: February 3, 2005Inventors: Don Day, Robert Kamper, Larry Swofford

Publication number: 20050027669Abstract: A process for managing an instant messaging or chat room session provides an automated real-time status of the activity of a participant currently disengaged from the messaging session. Throughout the messaging session, the status a participant is continuously determined, and a status indicator indicating the current action of the participant is sent to the other participant. The instant messaging application, other system applications and all interconnected hardware are monitored for user activity. Detected user activity is interpreted into a status indicator, which is transmitted to the other participant and displayed on the recipient's computer in a preferred format.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2003Publication date: February 3, 2005Inventors: Don Day, Robert Kamper, Larry Swofford
