Patent number: 9848177Abstract: A projector includes a light source, a filter unit, an auxiliary light source and a combiner. The light source produces a first beam of light having light in a plurality of ranges of wavelengths, corresponding to a plurality of colors. The filter unit is positioned in the optical path of the first light beam. The filter unit is configured in a first configuration during a first time interval and in a second configuration during a second time interval. When the filter unit is configured in the second configuration, the auxiliary light source produces a second beam of light. The combiner combines the first beam of light and the second beam of light. The combined beams of light are directed to a spatial light modulator.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2016Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: DELL PRODUCTS, LPInventor: Karthikeyan Krishnakumar

Publication number: 20170148487Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing a selective video manipulation operation for privacy enhancement. More specifically, the selective video manipulation operation detects video transmission protected regions in a scene and applies effects to these regions before transmitting a modified video stream which presents a selectively modified scene. In certain embodiments, the video transmission protected regions include potentially sensitive or distracting regions in the scene. In certain embodiments the selective video manipulation operation automatically detects video transmission protected regions which may be located in at least one of the background of the scene or the foreground attic scene and applies user-configurable effects to the identified regions.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2015Publication date: May 25, 2017Applicant: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Karthikeyan Krishnakumar, Roman Joel Pacheco

Patent number: 9652054Abstract: An interactive device includes a first sensor, a first button, an accelerometer, a processor, and a transmitter. The first sensor is configured to receive coordinate information from a coordinate projection of a projector. The first button is configured to transmit an erase signal when the first button is pressed. The accelerometer is configured to provide angle information for the interactive device. The processor is in communication with the first sensor, with the first button, and with the accelerometer. The processor configured to receive the coordinate information from the first sensor, to receive the erase signal from the first button, to receive the angle information from the accelerometer, and to generate erase information based on the coordinate information, the erase signal, and the angle information. The transmitter is in communication with the processor, and is configured to transmit a delete request including the erase information received from the processor to the projector.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2014Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: Dell Products, LPInventors: Karthikeyan Krishnakumar, Samuel Nicklaus D'Alessio, Thomas L.

Patent number: 9622075Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request for wireless connection from a supplicant device via a service path. The service path includes a peer-to-peer communication path. The method further includes, based on an indication received from the supplicant device, adapting an authentication method to the supplicant device. The adapting includes selecting at least one authentication factor from a plurality of supported authentication factors. Each of the plurality of supported authentication factors comprises an authentication path that is distinct from the service path. In addition, the method includes authenticating the supplicant device via each of the at least one authentication factor.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2013Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Raziuddin Ali, Claude Lano Cox, Yuan-Chang Lo, Abu Shaher Sanaullah, Karthikeyan Krishnakumar

Publication number: 20160196060Abstract: Projected input and output devices adapt to a desktop environment by sensing objects at the desktop environment and altering projected light in response to the sensed objects. For instance, projection of input and output devices is altered to limit illumination against and end user's hands or other objects disposed at a projection surface. End user hand positions and motions are detected to provide gesture support for adapting a projection work space, and configurations of projected devices are stored so that an end user can rapidly recreate a projected desktop. A projector scan adjusts to limit traces across inactive portions of the display surface and to increase traces at predetermined areas, such as video windows.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2016Publication date: July 7, 2016Applicant: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Erin K.

Patent number: 9344404Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes establishing a connection with an access-point (AP) device via a first communication path. The method further includes establishing a connection with a proxy device for the AP device via a second communication path that is distinct from the first communication path. In addition, the method includes determining a set of connection credentials maintained by the AP device. Furthermore, the method includes determining a set of connection credentials maintained by the proxy device. Additionally, the method includes identifying a correct set of connection credentials. The correct set includes at least one of the first set and the second set. The method also includes synchronizing the first set and the second set according to the correct set.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2013Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Abu Shaher Sanaullah, Yuan-Chang Lo, Raziuddin Ali, Claude Lano Cox, Michael S.

Publication number: 20160073044Abstract: A projector includes an infrared generator, an infrared camera, an infrared control module, and a controller. The infrared generator provides an infrared curtain on a screen that the projector projects an image. The infrared camera detects a selection of an icon on a control strip located within the infrared curtain. The infrared control module is in communication with the infrared generator and the infrared camera, and determines a coordinate position within the infrared curtain associated with the selection of the icon on the control strip. The controller is in communication with the infrared control module, and determines a command for the projector based on the coordinate position of the selection of the icon, and executes the command.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2015Publication date: March 10, 2016Inventors: Karthikeyan Krishnakumar, Bruce C.
