Pass-through control in interactive displays

A method for pass-through control in interactive devices, adapted for receiving a plurality of video signals from a plurality of video sources from respective computing devices, the method comprising:

• logically arranging one or more display screens in a matrix configured to receive and output a combined video signal;
• configuring one or more tactile input devices, coupled to the one or more display screens in the matrix to receive at least one tactile input;
• and
• configuring a video processor to receive the plurality of video signals from the plurality of video sources and communicate with the one or more display screens arranged in a matrix, wherein the processor is further configured for:
• determining whether a source from the plurality of sources is associated with the at least one tactile input, and upon said determination:
• if the at least one tactile input is associated with a displayed video source, then transmitting one or more commands associated with the tactile input to the respective computing device;
• if the tactile input is not associated with a displayed video source, then identifying whether or not the tactile input represents a command to the video processor, and activating one or more system commands upon determining that the tactile input is a video processor command;
• generating the combined signal based on the plurality of video signals;
• and
• transmitting the combined signal to the one or more display screens arranged in the matrix.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method for pass-through control in interactive devices, adapted for receiving a plurality of video signals from a plurality of video sources from respective computing devices, the method comprising:

• logically arranging one or more display screens in a matrix configured to receive and output a combined video signal;
• configuring one or more tactile input devices, coupled to the one or more display screens in the matrix to receive at least one tactile input;
• and
• configuring a video processor to receive the plurality of video signals from the plurality of video sources and communicate with the one or more display screens arranged in a matrix, wherein the processor is further configured for:
• determining whether a source from the plurality of sources is associated with the at least one tactile input, and upon said determination:
• if the at least one tactile input is associated with a displayed video source, then transmitting one or more commands associated with the tactile input to the respective computing device;
• if the tactile input is not associated with a displayed video source, then identifying whether or not the tactile input represents a command to the video processor, and activating one or more system commands upon determining that the tactile input is a video processor command;
• generating the combined signal based on the plurality of video signals;
• and
• transmitting the combined signal to the one or more display screens arranged in the matrix.
