Abstract
A method and an apparatus are used with a display. A physical relationship between the display and a viewer of the display is determined, and the physical relationship is monitored to detect when the relationship substantially changes. In response to the detection, the display is automatically positioned to compensate for the change.
Claims27
A method for use with a display screen, comprising:
- determining a physical relationship between the display screen and a viewer of the display screen;
- detecting when the physical relationship substantially changes;
- and
- in response to the detection, automatically positioning the display screen to compensate for the change.
A computer system comprising:
- a display screen;
- an assembly to position the display screen;
- a range finding device;
- and
- a computer to:
- use the range finding device to determine a physical relationship between the display screen and a viewer of the display screen,
- detect when the physical relationship substantially changes, and
- in response to the detection, interact with the assembly to position the display screen to compensate for the change.
The computer system 6, wherein the movement of the display screen includes translating the display screen to adjust a distance between the display screen and the viewer.
An article comprising a computer readable storage medium that includes instructions to cause a computer to:
- determine a physical relationship between a display screen and a viewer of the display screen;
- detect when the physical relationship substantially changes;
- and
- in response to the detection, interact with an assembly to position the display screen to compensate for the change.
A method for use with a display, comprising:
- positioning a display screen on a moveable tray;
- positioning the tray on a table;
- determining a physical relationship between the display screen and a viewer of the display screen;
- detecting when the physical relationship substantially changes;
- and
- in response to the detection, automatically moving the tray to reposition the display screen to compensate for the change.
A computer system comprising:
- a moveable tray to be placed on a table;
- a display screen located on the tray;
- a range finding device;
- and
- a computer to:
- use the range finding device to determine a physical relationship between the display screen and a viewer of the display screen,
- detect when the physical relationship substantially changes, and
- in response to the detection, move the tray to reposition the display screen to compensate for the change.
