US 2018/0324397 A1 · PROJECTING OBSTRUCTED CONTENT OVER TOUCH SCREEN OBSTRUCTIONS

Abstract

Systems and methods for detecting and projecting obstructed content over touch screen obstructions are disclosed. In embodiments, a computer-implemented method, includes: displaying, by a computing device, content on a touch screen of the computing device; detecting, by the computing device, an obstruction of the content on one or more areas of the touch screen; determining, by the computing device, obstructed content in the one or more areas; determining, by the computing device, a display configuration for a portion of the obstructed content, wherein the display configuration defines a manner in which the portion of the obstructed content is to be projected by at least one wearable projector device; and sending, by the computing device, the display configuration to the at least one wearable projector device adapted to project the portion of the obstructed content over at least one object causing the obstruction of the content.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method for projecting obstructed content over touch screen obstructions by a wearable projector device comprising:

receiving, by a wearable projector device, a display configuration from a remote computing device, wherein the display configuration defines a manner in which a portion of content on a touchscreen, obstructed from a user's view by an obstructing object, is to be projected by the wearable projector device;
and
projecting, by the wearable projector device, the portion of the content obstructed over the obstructing object.

A system for detecting and projecting obstructed content over touch screen obstructions, comprising:

a CPU, a computer readable memory and a computer readable storage medium associated with a computing device;
program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by the CPU via the computer readable memory, the program instructions of the computing device including:
program instructions to display content on a touch screen of the computing device;
program instructions to detect an obstruction of the content on an area of the touch screen by an obstructing object, wherein the user's view of the content is obstructed;
program instructions to determine obstructed content in the area of the touch screen;
program instructions to determine a display configuration for a portion of the obstructed content, wherein the display configuration defines a manner in which the portion of the obstructed content is to be projected by a wearable projector device;
and
program instructions to send the display configuration to the wearable projector device;
a wearable projector device including a communications module;
program instructions stored in the communications module of the wearable projector device for execution by the wearable projector device, the program instructions of the computing device including:
program instructions to receive the display configuration from the CPU;
and
program instructions to project the portion of the obstructed content over the obstructing object.
