  • Patent number: 12045532
    Abstract: A system and method for content delivery across a heterogenous multi-display environment are disclosed. In one embodiment of the system, each smart device in the multi-display environment contains a display, a processor, non-transitory memory, and storage, interconnected by a busing architecture. Each device also has a wireless transceiver. The system obtains device characteristics, including display size, display brightness, resolution, device form factor, display orientation, and relative physical positioning, for example. The system divides the content into sections, allocating each to a device based on these characteristics and physical adjacency. Consequently, sections displayed on adjacent devices form contiguous portions of the content. The system synchronizes the rendering of the sections across devices, ensuring a unified and contiguous content display.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for improving the utilization of an extended display system. Some aspects relate to an extended display generator having an input stream module to generate or receive input streams. Input streams may be generated locally (e.g., by a game engine) or remotely (e.g., from the internet). A function module of the generator provides functions that modify or extract information from the input streams. Then extended display generator applies a template to the input streams and function outputs, defining how such display content is presented to a user. A graphical user interface is used to specify which input streams, functions, and visual template should be used. The extended display shows the selected input stream(s) and the functional output(s) in a format defined by the visual template.

  • Patent number: 11868672
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for improving the utilization of an extended display system. Some aspects relate to an extended display generator having an input stream module to generate or receive input streams. Input streams may be generated locally (e.g., by a game engine) or remotely (e.g., from the internet). A function module of the generator provides functions that modify or extract information from the input streams. Then extended display generator applies a template to the input streams and function outputs, defining how such display content is presented to a user. A graphical user interface is used to specify which input streams, functions, and visual template should be used. The extended display shows the selected input stream(s) and the functional output(s) in a format defined by the visual template.
