Abstract:
Tablet computers send relevant geographic and identification data to an application server (one of the tablets, or a local or remote server) which groups them to form a video wall. Once placed next to one another in substantially the same plane, the tablets snap photographs at more or less the same time and these images are transmitted to the application server. The server determines the relative positions of the tablets and then streams a portion of a video or digital image to each of the tablets in order that all tablets display the video or image in an integrated fashion. The tablets may operate independently or may rely upon the remote application server. Relative positions are determined by analyzing features and determining an up-down or left-right relationship between pairs of images, sorting images into vertical and horizontal rows, and placing the images into a grid.
