Abstract
A method acquires a screen capture, as a pixelated image, having text content from a first display on a first display device and processes the acquired pixelated image of the first display using optical character recognition to extract one or more alphanumeric text strings from the displayed text content. The first display device transmits the one or more extracted text strings from the first display to a second display device. At least the one or more extracted text strings are rendered on the second display device.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- (a) acquiring a screen capture, as a pixelated image, comprising text content from a first display on a first display device;
- (b) processing the acquired pixelated image of the first display using optical character recognition to extract one or more alphanumeric text strings from the displayed text content;
- (c) transmitting the one or more extracted text strings from the first display device to a second display device;
- and
- (d) rendering the one or more extracted text strings on the second display device.
A method comprising:
- (a) acquiring a screen capture, as a pixelated image, comprising text content from a first display device;
- (b) processing the acquired pixelated image of the first display device using optical character recognition to obtain one or more alphanumeric text strings, and identifying, from the obtained text strings, one or more keywords from a predetermined set of keywords;
- (c) for at least one of the identified keywords identified in the acquired pixelated image, associating a variable text string from the pixelated image and related to the at least one keyword;
- and
- (d) rendering at least the variable text string on a second display device that is in wireless signal communication with the first display device.
A hand-held processing apparatus having
- a first display;
- a processor that is programmed to acquire a screen capture of the first display as a pixelated image and to identify and extract one or more text strings from the screen capture using optical character recognition;
- and
- a transmitter that is energizable by the processor to wirelessly transmit the one or more extracted text strings from the hand-held processing apparatus to a remote device having a second display for rendering the transmitted one or more extracted text strings.
