  • CONTROL OF LARGE SCREEN DISPLAY USING WIRELESS PORTABLE COMPUTER AND FACILITATING SELECTION OF AUDIO ON A HEADPHONE
    Publication number: 20150256895
    Abstract: A multi-window user interface (UI) on a control device such as a tablet computer communicates commands to a display controller, which may be implemented by a game console. The controller controls presentation on a large screen display according to the commands. A tertiary device such as a wireless phone can obtain an application listing audio feeds associated with various videos presented on the display so that a user can listen via headphones to a first audio stream associated with a first video window on the display when the display speakers are playing audio associated with a second video window on the display.

  • CONTROL OF LARGE SCREEN DISPLAY USING WIRELESS PORTABLE COMPUTER TO PAN AND ZOOM ON LARGE SCREEN DISPLAY
    Publication number: 20150256592
    Abstract: A multi-window user interface (UI) on a control device such as a tablet computer communicates commands to a display controller, which may be implemented by a game console. The controller controls presentation on a large screen display according to the commands. The control device may always present a multi-window UI which the control device can command to have mimicked on the display, with the UI also being configured to cause a single video to be presented whole screen on the display while the multi-window UI remains presented on the control device. The video feeds that populate the multi-window UI are of the same content but of lower resolution than those which are presented on the display. A movable window on the control device can be dragged and dropped to cause a corresponding magnifying focus on the display over the corresponding portion of video in focus on the control device.

  • System and method for identifying one or more objects hung from a display peg
    Patent number: 9123018
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying one or more objects hung from a display peg are described herein. The system may include a display peg comprising a first and second electrically conductive terminal. An object comprising a resistive element having a preselected resistance may be hung from the display peg such that the resistive element is in electrical communication with the terminals. A source may be configured to provide a current that flows from the first terminal through the resistive element to the second terminal. An electronic device may be configured to detect the current flowing from the second terminal. The system may be configured to identify the type of object depending on the pre-selected resistance of the resistive element.
