Organizing display data on a multiuser display
View Patent ↗For organizing display data on a multiuser display, a position module determines a first user position from the disposition of a first touch object on the multiuser display. An organization module organizes the display data on the multiuser display in response to the first user position.
1. An apparatus comprising:
a processor;
a multiuser display accessible to the processor; and
a memory storing machine readable code executable by the processor, the machine readable code comprising:
a position module determining a first user position from a disposition of a first touch object on the multiuser display, the disposition comprising a location of the first touch object on the multiuser display and an orientation of the first touch object comprising a first angle from a specified axis of the multiuser display and a second angle from a plane of the multiuser display; and
an organization module organizing display data on the multiuser display in response to the first user position.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display data is organized as oriented toward the first user position.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , the position module further determining a second user position from a disposition of a second touch object and the organization module organizing the display data in response to the first user position and the second user position.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first touch object is detected using a detection selected from the group consisting of electromagnetic resonance detection, electric field detection, capacitance detection, and optical detection.
5. A method comprising:
determining a first user position from a disposition of a first touch object on a multiuser display, the disposition comprising a location of the first touch object on the multiuser display and an orientation of the first touch object comprising a first angle from a specified axis of the multiuser display and a second angle from a plane of the multiuser display; and
organizing display data on the multiuser display in response to the first user position.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the display data is organized as oriented toward the first user position.
7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising determining a second user position from a disposition of a second touch object and organizing the display data in response to the first user position and the second user position.
8. The method of claim 5 , further comprising identifying a first user from a touch object identifier.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the display data is provided with user information for the first user.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the display data is configured with user preferences for the first user.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the disposition further comprises a handprint associated with the touch object.
12. The method of claim 5 , wherein the touch object is selected from the group consisting of an electronic pen, a stylus, and a finger.
13. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first touch object is detected using a detection selected from the group consisting of electromagnetic resonance detection, electric field detection, capacitance detection, and optical detection.
14. The method of claim 5 , wherein a second user position is determined relative to the first user position.
15. A program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing machine readable code executable by a processor to perform the operations of:
determining a first user position from a disposition of a first touch object on a multiuser display, the disposition comprising a location of the first touch object on the multiuser display and an orientation of the first touch object comprising a first angle from a specified axis of the multiuser display and a second angle from a plane of the multiuser display; and
organizing display data on the multiuser display in response to the first user position.
16. The program product of claim 15 , wherein the display data is organized as oriented toward the first user position.
17. The program product of claim 15 , further comprising determining a second user position from a disposition of a second touch object and organizing the display data in response to the first user position and the second user position.
18. The program product of claim 15 , further comprising identifying a first user from a touch object identifier.
