  • Publication number: 20160050280
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are provided for establishing bidirectional communication among computing devices. In some aspects, a wireless access establishes a communication link with a first computing device. The access point identifies, based on communications between the first computing device and the access point, an application executed on the first computing device. The access point determines that a second computing device that is in communication with the access point can present outputs generated by the application and generate input events usable by the application. The access point transmits a notification to the first computing device that the second computing device is accessible via the access point. The access point can transmit the notification based on determining that the second computing device can present the outputs and generate the input events that are usable by the application.

  • Patent number: 9052745
    Abstract: A multi-monitor computer system includes a plurality of display devices communicating with at least one computing device executing an application management procedure. The application management procedure enables an application window available on one display device to be moved entirely to another display device by selecting the other display device from a dialog box displayed in response to a pointer-dragging input gesture on the application window.

  • Patent number: 8619027
    Abstract: A tool tray for an interactive input system comprises a housing having an upper surface defining at least one receptacle sized to receive a tool for interacting with an interactive surface, a sensor configured to detect the presence of the tool within the receptacle and at least one display in communication with the sensor. The display is configured to present a pointer attribute selection screen upon removal of the tool from the receptacle.

  • Publication number: 20120249422
    Abstract: An interactive input system comprises an interactive surface, an illumination source projecting light onto the interactive surface such that a shadow is cast onto the interactive surface when a gesture is made by an object positioned between the illumination source and the interactive surface, at least one imaging device capturing images of a three-dimensional (3D) space in front of the interactive surface, and processing structure processing captured images to detect the shadow and object therein, and determine therefrom whether the gesture was performed within or beyond a threshold distance from the interactive surface and execute a command associated with the gesture.
