Abstract
An interactive display recognition tool uses imaging devices to determine the location of a display and position an icon on the display via a computer. The tool comprises various input devices, which can be used to control the icon and interact with a computer driven multimedia platform.
Claims21
A system comprising:
- a display recognition device having at least a display recognizer and an input device, wherein the display recognition device is configured to capture an image of a space containing a display;
- a computer comprising a multimedia platform and configured to receive data from the display recognition device;
- and
- a sender and a receiver connected to the computer, wherein the receiver is in data communication with the display and wherein the sender and receiver are configured to transfer a signal from the computer to a display;
- wherein the system is configured to identify at least one quadrilateral in the image and select one of the at least one quadrilateral as a selected quadrilateral corresponding to the display.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- capturing an image of a space with a display recognition device having a display recognizer, the space having within it a display;
- locating in the image at least one property of the display;
- identifying at least one quadrilateral in the image to obtain a set of identified quadrilaterals;
- determining whether an identifier is present within each of the identified quadrilaterals to obtain a set of qualifying quadrilaterals, wherein the identifier corresponds to a feature of the display;
- and
- resolving the potentially qualifying quadrilaterals to select a selected quadrilateral.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- capturing an image of a space with a display recognition device having display recognizer, the space having within it a display;
- selecting a quadrilateral in the image corresponding to the display;
- determining a location where the display recognition device is pointed, wherein the location where the display recognition device is pointed corresponds to a predetermined location on the image relative to the quadrilateral in the image corresponding to the display;
- and
- transmitting to the display the location of an icon, wherein the location of the icon corresponds to the location where the display recognition device is pointed.
2 more elements
A machine-readable medium having program instructions stored thereon executable by a processing unit for performing the steps of:
- capturing an image of a space with a display recognition device having a display recognizer, the space having within it a display;
- locating in the image at least one property of the display;
- identifying at least one quadrilateral in the image to obtain a set of identified quadrilaterals;
- determining whether an identifier is present within each of the identified quadrilaterals to obtain a set of qualifying quadrilaterals, wherein the identifier corresponds to a feature of the display;
- and
- resolving the potentially qualifying quadrilaterals to select a selected quadrilateral.
