| 20090309888 | Real-Time Messaging System for an Image Display Device - A real-time messaging system for an image display device is provided. One disclosed embodiment includes an image display device including a light source and an image-generation device configured to receive light from the light source, and in response, generate an image. The image display device may further include a projection lens configured to display the image on a viewing surface. The image display device may also include memory and a processor operatively coupled with the memory to receive a command message sent to a select group of image display devices in real-time via a network, and upon recognizing the command message, display an alert image. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100053475 | ILLUMINATED STATUS INDICATOR FOR AN IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE - Systems and methods for an illuminating status indicator for an image display device are provided. In one example, an image display device is provided including a light source, an image generating element configured to receive light from the light source, and in response, generate an image, a projection lens configured to display the image on a viewing surface, and an illuminated status indicator configured to visually indicate a status of the image display device and extending at least partially around the projection lens. The example image display device further may include a control system in communication with the light source, the image generating element, and the illuminated status indicator and a housing comprised of a plurality of faces, where the housing encloses the light source, the image generating element, and the control system and where the illuminated status indicator is viewable by a user when the user is looking at a face of the housing. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100107018 | USER INTERFACE FOR PROJECTION DEVICE REMOTE CONTROL - A projection device is provided. The projection device includes a server subsystem configured to generate a projection-device-status user interface presentable to a remote client via a webpage served by the server subsystem. The server subsystem includes: a projection control module configured to adjust a projection setting of the projection device based on control input received from the remote client via the projection-device-status user interface, and a task scheduling module configured to schedule a projection device operation control task to be performed at a scheduled event specified by scheduling input received from the remote client via the projection-device-status user interface, and to automatically initiate the projection device operation control task responsive to occurrence of the scheduled event. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100107081 | PROJECTION DEVICE IMAGE VIEWER USER INTERFACE - A projection device configured to removably receive a portable data storage device having a plurality of files stored thereon, including: projection electronics to generate a projected image, an image viewer source operatively coupled to the projection electronics, and computer-readable data storage having instructions therein that when executed by the image viewer source: identify files that are displayable by the projection device from the plurality of files stored on the portable data storage device; and generate a projectable user interface to view at least one identified file, the projectable user interface having a thumbnail view including a list of folder thumbnails representative of folders containing displayable files stored on the portable data storage device and image thumbnails representative of displayable files stored on the portable data storage device, and a slideshow view including a full-sized image of a specified image thumbnail. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100185970 | User Interface for a Projection Device - A projector, a projection system and a user interface are disclosed. An example projection system may include a projection device adapted to project an image. A user interface may be used in communication with the projection device and may be configured to control a number of projector settings of the projection device. The user interface may be configured to simultaneously display a first level menu item and a list of second level menu items within a second highlighting outline. Display of the list of second level menu items may be invoked by a selection of the first level menu item. | 07-22-2010 |
