Abstract
A method for interfacing a device to a projector including identifying a network to which the device is connected, identifying at least one projector on network, identifying status of at least one projector, enabling selection of at least one projector based on identified status, and transmitting data to at least one projector depending on whether it is selected.
Claims20
A method of establishing an interface over a network between a network device and a presenting device, the method comprising:
- presenting a user-viewable splashette on a display by the presenting device, wherein the splashette includes a challenge having a challenge key;
- receiving a response to the challenge;
- comparing the response with the challenge key to identify a match;
- and
- establishing the interlace with identification of the match.
A presentation system comprising:
- at least one computing device configured to communicate over a wireless network;
- a projection device connected to the wireless network;
- wherein tie projection device is configured to project a splashette on a display based on an operating condition;
- wherein the splashette includes a list of one or more operational settings of at least one of the computing device and the projection device.
A computer readable storage medium containing a set of instructions for establishing an interface between a computing device and a projector over a network, the set of instructions comprising:
- requesting establishment of an interface;
- projecting a viewable splashette on at portion of a display;
- receiving an input in response to a splashette challenge presented in response to the request for establishment of the interface;
- verifying that the input matches a challenge key corresponding to the challenge splashette;
- and
- establishing the interface to enable transmission of data from the computing device to the projector.
