Abstract: A method whereby a second display device is simulated using software so that images may be directed by a personal computer or other electronic device to appear on the simulated display. The software may then be configured to display images directed to such a simulated display in a portion of the primary display, allowing the user of the method to monitor the simulated display and capture images from the simulated display using an automated capture algorithm to capture and store the image for future use. The presenter or user of the method may make adjustments to the capture parameters, via a control interface, which is viewed on the primary display device.

Abstract: A method whereby a second display device is simulated, on a personal computer or other electronic device having a primary display, which may not have the capability of connection to a second display device, using software so that images directed to be displayed on the second display device may be redirected by a personal computer or other electronic device to appear on the primary display device. The software may display the image in a portion of the primary display, allowing the user of the invention to monitor the simulated display and capture images from the simulated second display using an automated capture algorithm to capture and store the image for future use. The presenter or user of the method may make adjustments to the capture parameters, via a control interface which may also be viewed on the primary display device.

Abstract: A method whereby a presenter may capture images directly from a graphics control circuitry during a presentation without the need for actions, such as mouse clicks, which would interfere with the presenter's ability to present information to an audience. The method automatically captures images using a change detection algorithm and stores those images in digital form for future use. The presenter or user of the method may make adjustments to the parameters, via a control interface, used by the algorithm to determine when to capture and store a static image from the graphics control circuitry.
