Abstract: Systems, devices and methods that enable advertisement on mobile computing applications are provided. More specifically, described herein are devices and methods that are capable of delivering relatively more friendly advertising information to a user while causing less interference on graphics-based user interfaces of such devices. Integral projector modules which may be embedded in mobile computing devices are also provided. These modules may be capable of externally projecting advertising content upon most any surface.

Abstract: A display device capable of displaying a plurality of projection images is provided. The display device includes a light source within a base and a plurality of projection outputs. Each projection output comprises an optical modulation device and a projection lens system. The light source includes a switch and a plurality of light sources such as lasers or LEDs with different color to one another. The switch receives and diverts light beams from the light sources in a predetermined sequential order to the plurality of projection outputs.

Abstract: An ad creation interface for use in an interpersonal electronic advertising system is described. The ad creation interface is configured to enable an ad suggester to create interpersonal ads for a product or service for provision to an ad recipient. The suggested ad can lead to a purchase of the product or the service by the ad recipient and in response the system can compensate the ad suggester. The ad creation interface allows an individual to create a suggested ad. In particular, via the interface an individual can 1) specify an ad recipient that is to receive the ad, 2) search for and select a suggested ad to send to the recipient and 3) request the system to send the selected suggested ad including a personal message to the ad recipient.

Abstract: Described herein are devices that provide projection-type video output in a portable and flexible design. The design includes a projection chamber, a base, and an interface that permits relative positioning between the projection chamber and base. The base maintains the position of the display device. The projection chamber includes components responsible for the production of images based on received video data and components responsible for the projection of those images. Relative pointing between the projection chamber and base allows the projection chamber to be pointed—and an output projected image to be positioned—with minimal effort.

Abstract: System and methods for outputting coordinated audio and video presentations are provided. The system includes a plurality of speakers and a display device capable of providing a plurality of projection images. Sound generated by the plurality of speakers is coordinated with the plurality of projection images. The coordination process may be automatically performed according to position change of the plurality of projection images. Sound generated by the plurality of speakers may be further modulated according to position of a user or motion of a video object being displayed in one or more of the plurality of projected images.

Abstract: Described herein are interpersonal electronic advertising systems and methods that compensate a first person who suggests or selects electronic advertisements for another person. The first person selects or suggests an electronic ad for an intended recipient. The interpersonal advertising systems and methods receive the electronic ad input from the suggester, and send an electronic advertisement to the intended recipient. When the recipient activates the advertisement, the interpersonal electronic advertising systems and methods attribute compensation to the suggester.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that facilitate interpersonal electronic advertising. An intended recipient of an electronic advertisement gives consumer information relating to a potential consumer transaction to an electronic advertisement suggester. The suggester then selects or suggests an electronic ad for the intended recipient. The suggester input relates to the consumer information and helps determine the ad. The interpersonal advertising systems and methods receive the electronic ad input from the suggester. The systems and methods then send the electronic ad to the intended recipient. Activating the electronic ad, such as when the recipient purchases a product or service related to the ad, may lead to compensation for the suggester.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that reduce power consumption for a television that includes an LCD display. Power conservation systems and methods described herein alter video information in one or more inactive portions of a display area such that the altered video information decreases power consumption.

Abstract: A projection type stereoscopic display system (and corresponding methodology) is provided. The system comprises a light source, two or more projection chambers, and a switch. The switch receives a plurality of light beams and diverts the beams in a predetermined sequential order to each projection chamber. The projection chamber projects a first image on a first receiving surface and the second image on a second receiving surface parallel with the first receiving surface so that a viewer observes the first and second images simultaneously thereby establishing stereoscopic effects.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems that allow a user to reposition or size a graphics item or background such that a portion of the graphics item resides outside the background. This permits tailored operating spaces based on user preference and allowable conditions, which are particularly useful with display devices having a large display area.

Abstract: Described herein is apparel that protects a wearer from an undesirable agent. The apparel employs a transition portal to assist doffing and to reduce the risk of cross-contamination during doffing. The transition portal attaches to the apparel proximate to one end of an aperture, which provides an exit for the protective apparel. When doffing, the transition portal extends away from the person, who exits the aperture. The transition portal is then pulled over the body along with any attached portions of the protective apparel. This turns the transition portal—and attached parts of the apparel—inside-out. After doffing, most portions of protective apparel are either a) inside-out, or b) contained within the inside-out transition portal and/or apparel. As a result, undesirable agents—that were initially on the outside of the apparel—are now inside the inside-out transition portal and apparel.
