Abstract
A system and method for projecting information from a wireless messaging device. User preferences are received for projecting the information. An event is detected. Information regarding the event is projected onto a surface in response to detecting the event.
Claims18
A method for projecting information from a wireless messaging device, the method comprising:
- receiving user preferences for projecting the information;
- detecting an event, the event is enabled to be a calendar item, an alarm, a syndicated feed, a battery reaching a threshold, and a received communication;
- and
- automatically projecting the information regarding the event onto a surface according to the user preferences in response to detecting the event;
- determining which of one of a pair of projectors on opposite sides of the wireless messaging device is suitable for projecting the information;
- locating an acceptable surface proximate the wireless messaging device;
- and
- projecting the information onto the acceptable surface from one of the pair of projectors that is available.

A wireless device configured for projection compromising:
- a user interface configured to receive user preferences for projecting information;
- display logic configured to determine that an event is occurring and the information associated with the event, the event is enabled to be a calendar item, an alarm, a syndicated feed, a battery reaching a threshold, and a received communication;
- and
- a projector in communication with the display logic configured to automatically project the information onto a surface proximate the wireless device in response to detecting the event and according to the user preferences, wherein the projector further comprises a pair of projectors on opposites sides of the wireless device, and wherein the display logic determines which one of the pair of projectors is available to display the information on the surface based on the positioning of the wireless device.
