  • Patent number: 11482226
    Abstract: Collaboration devices are disclosed. An example non-transitory computer-readable medium includes instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to at least cause a display of a collaboration device to display first data associated with a first participant on a first portion of the display; cause the display of the collaboration device to display second associated with a second participant on the first portion of the display or a second portion of the display, the second portion different than the first portion; identify, based on a user input, a command associated with the first data or the second data; and cause the display to display an icon representative of the command proximate to the first data or the second data.

  • Patent number: 11132090
    Abstract: A disclosed example method to display information from a computer system includes: accessing peripheral display information in a designated peripheral display area of a frame buffer memory in response to detecting a presence of the peripheral display information, the designated peripheral display area being a subarea of the frame buffer memory, the sub-area covering less than an entirety of a main screen of a monitor; displaying, via a peripheral information display device, the peripheral display information from the designated peripheral display area of the frame buffer memory, the peripheral information display device being separate from the main screen; determining user input coordinates based on a user interaction with the peripheral display information; updating the peripheral display information from a computer to the frame buffer memory; and displaying the updated peripheral display information from the designated peripheral display area of the frame buffer memory via the peripheral information display

  • Publication number: 20200268144
    Abstract: Example modular desks are described herein. An example desk includes a first desk surface and a second desk surface coupled to the first desk surface. The second desk surface is moveable relative to the first desk surface between a first position in which the first desk surface and the second desk surface lie in a first plane and a second position in which the second desk surface is disposed in a second plane which is non-parallel to the first plane. The example desk includes a touchscreen coupled to the second desk surface. The touchscreen is exposed when the second desk surface is in the first position and when the second desk surface is in the second position. The example desk includes a processor operatively coupled to the touchscreen. The processor is to control a presentation of data via the touchscreen.
