Abstract:
A network projector interface system (10) is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes client software stored on a recordable medium and at least partially executable on a client computer (14) on a network, where the client software provides a client interface configured to aid a user in directing a presentation file to a selected network projector (12). The system also includes presentation manager software stored on a recordable medium executable on the network, where the presentation manager software produces a presentation manager (18) configured to manage storage and access to the presentation file, and a network projector coupled to a projector computer (22), where the projector computer is coupled to the network and communicates with the presentation manager to display the presentation file on the selected network projector.
Abstract:
A method for interfacing a device to a projector is disclosed, wherein the method includes identifying a network to which the device is connected, identifying at least one projector on said network, identifying status of said at least one projector, enabling selection of said at least one projector based on said identified status, and transmitting data to said at least one projector depending on whether it is selected.
Abstract:
In a computing device, a method of updating over a network a set of executable instructions stored on an image-rendering device is disclosed, wherein the image-rendering device is operably associated with a projection device. The method includes detecting a version of the set of executable instructions on the image-rendering device, and sending an updated set of the executable instructions to the image-rendering device over the network.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a user interface facilitating the operation and management of a presentation file in an environment in which a plurality of projectors are connected to a network. SOLUTION: In a network projector system 10 in which the plurality of projectors 12 are connected to the network 20, an icon corresponding to each projector 12 is provided on a user client 14. By dragging and dropping the presentation file toward an icon corresponding to a targeted projector, the presentation file is added to a queue of the targeted projector and sequentially displayed.
