  • Patent number: 10983608
    Abstract: Systems and methods use a mobile device to position an annotation of displayed content on a shared display coupled with a host device. Sensor data, such as gyroscope and accelerometer data, from the mobile device may be transmitted to the host device and used to generate the annotation. The sensor data may be preprocessed to smooth and fit the data to a parametric curve or shape prior to or after display on the shared display. The user of the mobile device may interact with the mobile device to further start and stop the annotation, as well as denote to animate the annotation.

  • Patent number: 10320865
    Abstract: A method for graphically indicating presence, identity, and action with respect to a media post transmitted by a client device and displayed on a shared display. Metadata indicating the identity of a user is logically associated with visual media to form a media stream, which is transmitted to the shared display. The transmitted media stream is then decoded to recover the transmitted metadata. The media post is displayed on the shared display and the presence of a client device media stream, the identity of the current user of the device generating the stream, and an action associated with the user interaction with the client device, is then graphically indicated on the display, using the recovered metadata.

  • Patent number: 9437160
    Abstract: A system for automatic color matching of multiple displays in a multi-display system. A sensor observes the output energy of each of the displays in a multi-display system and measures the difference in the color responses for a given input color. This difference is used to derive a modification function that is applied to each display. The displays are modified accordingly, and then the color is displayed again. This process is repeated until the measured values from each of the displays are within a minimum measurement error tolerance, so that the differences in displayed colors observed among the displays are minimized.

  • Patent number: 9066088
    Abstract: A system and method for measuring and then correcting the color response from multiple projectors or display devices so that the devices can generate a color response that is uniform. An area light sensor (such as a commodity camera) is used to measure the color responses of each display and then to derive a model of the color transfer function for each display using a pattern of predetermined areas or regions displayed on each display device.

  • Publication number: 20110134332
    Abstract: A method of generating a display from a plurality of color image display sources such as a projector or a video monitor. The non-linear color response is first determined for each projector/monitor by using a color camera or other sensor to capture a displayed image. Each of the display sources is then linearized using the inverse of the respective non-linear color response. A common reachable gamut is derived in an observed color space for each of the sources. A transform is determined that maps an observed gamut to a target device-specific color space for each of the display sources. The respective transform is then applied to color values input to each of the display sources to make more similar the observed color response of each of the displays.
