| 20120069054 | ELECTRONIC DISPLAY SYSTEMS HAVING MOBILE COMPONENTS - Electronic display systems include mobile units for remotely modifying a displayed image. An electronic display system can include a display surface, a processing device, a mobile unit, and an input device. The display surface can receive and display an image rendered by the processing device. The display image on the display surface can be modified through interaction of the input device and the mobile unit. The input device can sense its position relative to the mobile unit and can transmit data relating to its position to the processing device. The processing device can interpret the position data as operations on the displayed image. Accordingly, the processing device can modify the displayed image on the display surface based on interactions between the input device and the mobile unit. | 03-22-2012 |
| 20120064503 | DISPLAY MOUNTING SYSTEMS - Mounting systems can releasably secure display devices to preexisting surfaces for convenient installation and removal without external tools. A mounting system can comprise lower magnetic assemblies, upper magnetic assemblies, and a mounting sheet. The lower magnetic assemblies can be secured to a rear surface of a display device, for releasably attaching the display device to a preexisting surface. A bottom portion of the mounting sheet can be secured to the rear surface of the display device, while a top portion of the mounting sheet can remain loose from the rear surface. The upper magnetic assemblies can be provided along the loose top portion of the mounting sheet, for releasably attaching the display device to the preexisting surface. The upper magnetic assemblies can retain their connection to the preexisting surface as the display device is pulled away from the preexisting surface, until a threshold condition is met. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20100275132 | INTERACTIVE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS - The present invention includes interactive communication systems that incorporate several beneficial embodiments including an interactive tray system, an electronic presentation messaging system, an interactive podium, and a key drive system. The interactive tray system enables a single, transferable interactive unit to be fastened to a communication medium, turning into a fully interactive medium. The electronic presentation messaging system enables the e-mailing of presentations and notes to and from components of the interactive communication system. The interactive podium increases conventional podium mobility, enabling both the presenter, and podium, to move and be moved about the room without attention to wired connections. The key drive system replaces the conventional Y-connector of the key drive technology by effectively integrating the key drive in the device, thus only having one connector, and eliminating the need to change connectors from the key drive, to the USB connector, upon software driver loading. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20090309854 | INPUT DEVICES WITH MULTIPLE OPERATING MODES - An input device for interacting with a display surface of an electronic display system. The input device can comprise a body, a nib, a sensing system, a cap, and a mode-indicating system. The body can provide structural support for the input device. The nib, which is in communication with the body, can be used to directly interact with the display surface. The sensing system can sense indicia of a posture of the input device with respect to the display surface to facilitate operation of the input device. The cap is securable over the nib, and can be incorporated into the mode-indicating system. When the cap is secured over the nib, the input device can operate in a first operating mode, and when the cap is removed, the input device can operate in a second operating mode. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20090309853 | ELECTRONIC WHITEBOARD SYSTEM AND ASSEMBLY WITH OPTICAL DETECTION ELEMENTS - An electronic whiteboard system and assembly with optical detection elements is disclosed. The electronic whiteboard system includes a writing/display surface and a retroreflective perimeter surrounding the edge of the surface. A user can mark upon the surface or interact with an image displayed on the surface using an input device. The perimeter can reflect light beams emitted from optical detection elements located at the corners of the surface to identify the position of the input device relative to the writing surface and/or projected image. The electronic whiteboard assembly includes one or more electronic whiteboard systems coupled together with a connector element having two retroreflective surfaces. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20090309841 | ERASER FOR USE WITH OPTICAL INTERACTIVE SURFACE - An eraser is usable in a display system having a display surface. The eraser includes one or more optical detection elements for determining the coordinates of the eraser relative to the display surface. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20090309839 | ERASER ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING SAME - An eraser assembly for erasing a display surface of an electronic display system, where the display surface can implement a dot pattern. The eraser assembly can comprise a body assembly, which can be in communication with an eraser pad and a sensing device, such as a camera. The camera can be adapted to view the display surface when the eraser pad is in use. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20090146965 | INTERACTIVE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM HAVING AN INTEGRATED KEY DRIVE SYSTEM - A device and method of connecting an interactive communication system to a processing device. The device is a cable system that includes first and second ends. The first end of the cable system has a leg connector, while the second end of the connector system has first and second arm connectors. The method implements the cable system to load or run software onto the processing device, and includes connecting the leg connector to an interactive communication system; connecting the first arm connector having a memory device to the processing device, wherein the memory device includes predetermined software; loading/running the software on the processing device; disconnecting the first arm connector having the memory device from the processing device; and connecting a second arm connector to the processing device. | 06-11-2009 |
