Abstract
The present disclosure describes a method for displaying supplemental content. The method includes determining environmental characteristics, e.g., wall space, empty areas, colors, etc., for a display environment, determining supplemental content based in part on a primary content displayed by a primary display, and displaying the supplemental content in the display environment.
Claims19
A method of displaying supplemental content comprising:
- detecting, using a sensor, one or more environmental characteristics for a display environment, the one or more environmental characteristics including a presence of one or more obstacles in the display environment;
- determining supplemental content based in part on a primary content displayed by a primary display;
- identifying, based on the one or more environmental characteristics and a user input or a user preference, a position in the display environment for display of the supplemental content, wherein the position is different from a position of the primary display, wherein the position for display of the supplemental content is free from the one or more obstacles detected by the sensor;
- and
- displaying the supplemental content in the display environment.
A system for displaying supplemental content comprising:
- a primary display configured to display primary content;
- and
- a supplemental display configured to display supplemental content different from the primary content, wherein the supplemental display is configured to:
- determine a display location for the supplemental content based on a user input or a user preference and an analysis of one or more environmental characteristics detected by a sensor of a display environment of the primary content, wherein the display location of the supplemental content is different from a position of the primary display, wherein the one or more environmental characteristics include a presence of one or more obstacles in the display environment, wherein the display location for the supplemental content is free from the one or more obstacles detected by the sensor;
- select the supplemental content based in part on the display location and the primary content;
- and
- display the supplemental content at the display location.
A non-tangible computer readable medium storing instructions that when read by a computer cause the computer to:
- determine a display location for supplemental content to be displayed by a supplemental display based on a user input or a user preference and an analysis of one or more environmental characteristics detected by a sensor of a display environment for primary content displayed by a primary display, wherein the display location for the supplemental content is different from a position of the primary display, wherein the one or more environmental characteristics include a presence of one or more obstacles in the display environment, wherein the display location for the supplemental content is free from the one or more obstacles detected by the sensor;
- select the supplemental content based in part on the display location and the primary content;
- and
- display the supplemental content at the display location.
