Peer to peer gesture based modular presentation system

A method of providing content in a peer-to-peer modular presentation system, the method comprising:

• providing having a plurality of display devices, wherein each display device includes a corresponding plurality of a processor and memory system to control each corresponding display device, and wherein at least three of the plurality of display devices are in visual proximity to each other, and wherein each display device communicates within a peer-to-peer network;
• the method comprising:
• receiving input of a gesture to move a sequence of content including a first content and a second content, wherein the first content is presented on a first display device of the plurality of display devices, wherein the gesture initiates propagation of content from right to left which indicates content to be moved and a direction without designating a destination display device;
• interpreting a direction to move the first content from the first display device based on the gesture;
• determining the destination display device to which the first content is to be moved based on the direction indicated by the gesture and the relative position of the plurality of display devices, wherein the destination display device is a second display device, and determining a third display device to which the second content is to be moved based on the direction indicated by the gesture and the relative position of the plurality of display devices, wherein the first display device is on the right of the second display device and the second display device is on the right of the third display device;
• establishing a peer-to-peer connection between the first display device, the second display device, and the third display device;
• propagating the first content of the first display device to the second display device using the peer-to-peer connection,
• propagating the second content of the second display device to the third display device using the peer-to-peer connection, and
• presenting the first content at the second display device and the second content at the third display device, wherein initiating the gesture simultaneously changes the content displayed at both the first display device, the second display device and the third display device.

A computer readable medium with instructions for execution by a computer for providing a sequence of content in a peer-to-peer modular presentation system, wherein the instructions, when executed by the computer, cause the computer to execute the steps of:

• providing having a plurality of display devices, wherein each display device includes a corresponding plurality of a processor and memory system to control each corresponding display device, and wherein at least three of the plurality of display devices are in physical and visual proximity to each other, wherein each display device communicates within a peer-to-peer network;
• the instructions comprising:
• receiving input of a gesture to move a first content presented on a first display device, wherein the gesture indicates content to be moved and a direction without designating a destination display device, and wherein the first content is all the information displayed on the first display device, and wherein a second content of the second display device is moved from the second display device of the plurality of display devices to a thrid display device, wherein a propagation order of a third content followed by the second content followed by the first content represents a sequence;
• interpreting a direction to move the content from the first display device based on the gesture;
• determining the destination display device to which the first content is to be moved based on the direction indicated by the gesture and the relative position of the plurality of display devices, wherein the destination display device is a second display device;
• establishing a peer-to-peer connection between the first display device,
• the second display device, and the third display device;
• propagating the first content of the first display device to the second display device using the peer-to-peer connection;
• propagating the second content of the second display device to the third display device using the peer-to-peer connection;
• and
• presenting the first content at the second display device, wherein a propagation order of the second content followed by the first content represents the sequence, wherein initiating the gesture simultaneously changes the content displayed at both the first display device, the second display device, and the third display device.

A system for providing content in a peer-to-peer modular presentation system, comprising:

• a plurality of display devices, wherein each display device includes a corresponding plurality of a processor and memory system to control each corresponding display device, and wherein each display device neighbors at least one other display device, wherein each display device is aware of the neighboring display devices, wherein each display device remains a discrete separately controlled display device, and wherein each display device communicates within a peer-to-peer network;
• a sequence of content including a first content and a second content;
• an input device that receives input of a gesture to move a content from a first display device of the plurality of display devices, wherein the gesture is a movement from right to left using a finger, wherein the movement from right to left specifies a starting point and a direction;
• and
• wherein the processor corresponding to the first display device,
• interprets a direction to move the first content from the first display device based on the gesture, wherein the gesture does not designate a destination display device,
• determines the destination display device to which the first content is to be moved, based on the direction indicated by the gesture and the position of the plurality of display devices, wherein the destination display device is a second display device,
• establishes a peer-to-peer connection between the first display device, the second display device, and instructs the second display device to establish the peer-to-peer connection with the third display device,
• instructs the second display device to propagate propagates the first content of the first display device to the second display device using the peer-to-peer connection, and automatically propagates the second content of the second display device to a third display device of the plurality of display devices using the peer-to-peer connection,
• wherein a propagation order of the second content followed by the first content represents the sequence, wherein initiating the gesture changes the content displayed on all of the first display device, the second display device and the third display device.
