Abstract
A method for pairing a control device with a digital sign is provided. The method includes receiving control device geometric attributes and digital sign geometric attributes, determining a digital sign identification based on the control device geometric attributes and the digital sign geometric attributes, and transmitting the digital sign identification to the control device. The control device geometric attributes may define geometric attributes of the control device. The digital sign geometric attributes may define geometric attributes of the digital sign that the control device is attempting to control. The digital sign identification may define the digital sign that the control device.
Claims17
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, from a control device, one or more of directional attributes and positional attributes of the control device;
- receiving, from a display unit, one or more of directional attributes and positional attributes of the display unit;
- comparing the one or more of directional attributes and positional attributes of the control device to the one or more of directional attributes and positional attributes of the display unit;
- and
- determining a display unit identification based on the comparison of the one or more of directional attributes and positional attributes of the control device and the one or more of directional attributes and positional attributes of the display unit, the display unit identification defining the display unit that the control device is attempting to control.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive, from a control device, one or more of directional attributes and positional attributes of the control device;
- receive, from a display unit, one or more of directional attributes and positional attributes of the display unit;
- compare the one or more of directional attributes and positional attributes of the control device to the one or more of directional attributes and positional attributes of the display unit;
- and
- determine a display unit identification based on the comparison of the one or more of directional attributes and positional attributes of the control device and the one or more of directional attributes and positional attributes of the display unit, the display unit identification defining the display unit that the control device is attempting to control.
One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media encoded with software comprising computer executable instructions, and when the software is executed, operable to:
- receive, from a control device, one or more of directional attributes and positional attributes of the control device;
- receive, from a display unit, one or more of directional attributes and positional attributes of the display unit;
- compare the one or more of directional attributes and positional attributes of the control device to the one or more of directional attributes and positional attributes of the display unit;
- and
- determine a display unit identification based on the comparison of the one or more of directional attributes and positional attributes of the control device and the one or more of directional attributes and positional attributes of the display unit, the display unit identification defining the display unit that the control device is attempting to control.
