Abstract

A device, system, and computer-readable medium for an interactive whiteboard including an interface which receives a first control signal from a touch-sensitive display surface and a second control signal from a codec, the first control signal identifying a position on the touch-sensitive display surface, and the second control signal identifying a codec setting of the codec; and a processor which calculates, based on the first control signal and the second control signal, a corresponding position on a display screen of a computing device to the position on the touch-sensitive display surface, and which sends the corresponding position to the computing device.

Claims (35)

1 . A calibration logic device comprising:

an interface configured to receive a first control signal from a touch-sensitive display surface and a second control signal from a codec, the first control signal identifying a position on the touch-sensitive display surface, and the second control signal identifying a codec setting of the codec; and

a processor configured to calculate, based on the first control signal and the second control signal, a corresponding position on a display screen of a computing device to the position on the touch-sensitive display surface, and to send the corresponding position to the computing device.

2 . The calibration logic device of claim 1 , wherein the position on the touch-sensitive display surface identifies a position of an occurred event, the occurred event including at least one of touching the touch-sensitive display surface, double tapping or clicking the touch-sensitive display surface, and performing a dragging motion on the touch-sensitive display surface.

3 . The calibration logic device of claim 1 , wherein the position on the touch-sensitive display surface is represented by X 1 , Y 1 coordinates.

4 . The calibration logic device of claim 3 , wherein the corresponding position on the display screen of the computing device is represented by X 2 , Y 2 coordinates.

5 . The calibration logic device of claim 1 , wherein the second control signal includes American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) information.

6 . The calibration logic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a calibration profile database configured to store a plurality of calibration image layouts,

wherein the codec setting of the codec is associated with one of the plurality of calibration image layouts.

7 . The calibration logic device of claim 6 , wherein the corresponding position on the display screen of the computing device is calculated based on the touch-sensitive display surface and at least one of the plurality of calibration image layouts.

8 . The calibration logic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor determines at least one of a model and manufacturer of the codec and a model and manufacturer of the touch-sensitive display surface.

9 . The calibration logic device of claim 1 , wherein the codec setting identifies at least one of an image layout, an active or inactive signal, a data sharing setting, and a region source.

10 . The calibration logic device of claim 1 , wherein the second control signal further identifies a position in the codec setting of a screen image generated on the computing device.

11 . A system comprising:

a touch-sensitive display surface;

a codec; and

a calibration logic device configured to,

receive a first control signal from the touch-sensitive display surface and a second control signal from the codec, the first control signal identifying a position on the touch-sensitive display surface, and the second control signal identifying a codec setting of the codec,

calculate, based on the first control signal and the second control signal, a corresponding position on a display screen of a computing device to the position on the touch-sensitive display surface, and

send the corresponding position to the computing device.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the position on the touch-sensitive display surface identifies a position of an occurred event, the occurred event including at least one of touching the touch-sensitive display surface, double tapping or clicking the touch-sensitive display surface, and performing a dragging motion on the touch-sensitive display surface.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the position on the touch-sensitive display surface is represented by X 1 , Y 1 coordinates.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the corresponding position on the display screen of the computing device is represented by X 2 , Y 2 coordinates.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the second control signal includes American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) information.

16 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the calibration logic device further comprises:

a calibration profile database configured to store a plurality of calibration image layouts,

wherein the codec setting of the codec is associated with one of the plurality of calibration image layouts.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the corresponding position on the display screen of the computing device is calculated based on the touch-sensitive display surface position and at least one of the plurality of calibration image layouts.

18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the calibration logic device determines at least one of a model and manufacturer of the codec and a model and manufacturer of the touch-sensitive display surface.

19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the codec setting identifies at least one of an image layout, an active or inactive signal, a data sharing setting, and a region source.

20 . A computer-readable storage medium including computer executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by the computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising:

receiving a first control signal from a touch-sensitive display surface and a second control signal from a codec, the first control signal identifying a position on the touch-sensitive display surface, and the second control signal identifying a codec setting of the codec;

calculating, based on the first control signal and the second control signal, a corresponding position on a display screen of a computing device to the position on the touch-sensitive display surface; and

sending the corresponding position to the computing device.
