Abstract: A control mechanism includes a housing that is moveable from a first position to a second position. The housing includes a display area. The movement of the housing from the first position to the second position is detected. A first image is displayed on a display screen responsive to detection of the movement of the housing from the first position to the second position. At least a portion of the first image is optically transmitted from the display screen to the display area via an optical coupling system for display in the display area of the housing.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method (500) executed on a processor for providing object information about an object in proximity to a display screen. The method includes the step of determining whether an at least first object is located within a proximal distance of the first surface of the display screen based on information provided by a depth camera (step 510). The method also includes the step of determining whether the at least first object has physically contacted a first surface of the display screen based on information provided by a physical contact sensing component (step 520). The information about (1) the proximal distance of the at least first object from the screen and (2) whether the at least first object has physically contacted the display surface of the screen to provide proximal event information and based on the information provided, it is determining whether the user interface should be modified (step 560).

Abstract: A user interface for displaying content, a user interface being comprised of n workspace boards 110a-n. Each workspace board has an area defined by a first edge 112a-n and a second edge 114a-n. Each workspace board has board availability indicator 120a-n. Each workspace board area is capable of being moved on and off of a display screen 124. When the workspace board area is moved off of the display screen—the board availability indicator associated with the workspace board remains on the display screen. When the workspace board area is off of the display screen, movement of the board availability indicator associated with the off screen workspace board moves the launch location of the workspace board.

Abstract: Methods and systems for using portable electronic devices in video conferences are disclosed. In one aspect, a method receives each remote participant's audio data stream and at least one video stream over a network and arranges the video streams in a data structure that describes the location of each video stream's associated viewing area within a virtual meeting space. The method blends audio streams into a combined audio of the remote participants. The method presents at least one viewing area on the portable device display to be viewed by the local participant, and changes the at least one viewing area to be presented on the portable device display based on cues provided by the operator.
