Abstract

A device that may be part of a wireless network may support a service that may adjust the presentation of client image data on a display. Client image data may be adjusted for display on either the entire display screen or a portion thereof.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving image data from one or more client devices; and

presenting said client image data on a display such that the presentation of said client image data on said display is different from the presentation of the same image data on the client device.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein presenting said client image data comprises automatically dividing said display into one or more viewing areas such that said client image data received from one of said clients is displayed in one of said viewing areas while said client image data received from another of said clients is displayed in another of said viewing areas.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein automatically dividing said display into one or more viewing areas comprises determining the number of client requests received and dividing said display into one or more of said viewing areas based on the determined number of client requests.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein determining the number of client requests comprises determining that one of said client requests was received from the client that supports said display.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein automatically dividing said display into one or more of said viewing areas includes automatically dividing said display into one or more substantially equal viewing areas.

6. The method of claim 3, wherein automatically dividing said display into one or more of said viewing areas includes automatically dividing said display into one or more unequal viewing areas.

7. The method of claim 4, further including buffering said image data in a virtual display memory area.

8. The method of claim 7, further including dynamically resizing said image data received from one of said clients to be displayed in one of said viewing areas and dynamically resizing said image data received from another of said clients to be displayed in another of said viewing areas.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein presenting said client image data on said display comprises presenting a user interface having one or more image elements that are prioritized as a higher priority image element or a lower priority image element, said prioritization received with said image data as presentation metadata, and automatically and dynamically constructing said user interface that reflects the prioritization of said image elements.

10. The method of claim 9, further including grouping said higher priority interface image elements and said lower priority interface image elements in a logical manner.

11. The method of claim 10, further including displaying said higher priority image elements on a first display screen.

12. The method of claim 11, further including displaying said lower priority image elements on a subsequent display screen.

13. An article comprising a medium storing instructions that, when executed result in:

receiving image data from one or more client devices; and

presenting said client image data on a display such that the presentation of said client image data on said display is different from the presentation of the same image data on the client device.

14. The article of claim 13 comprising a medium storing instructions that, when executed result in automatically dividing said display into one or more viewing areas such that said client image data received from one of said clients is displayed in one of said viewing areas while said client image data received from another of said clients is displayed in another of said viewing areas.

15. The article of claim 14 comprising a medium storing instructions that, when executed result in determining the number of client requests received and dividing said display into one or more of viewing areas based on the determined number of client requests.

16. The article of claim 15 comprising a medium storing instructions that, when executed result in determining that one of said client requests was received from the client that supports said display.

17. The article of claim 15 comprising a medium storing instructions that, when executed result in automatically dividing said display into one or more substantially equal viewing areas.

18. The article of claim 15 comprising a medium storing instructions that, when executed result in automatically dividing said display into one or more unequal viewing areas.

19. The article of claim 16 comprising a medium storing instructions that, when executed result in buffering said image data in a virtual display memory area.

20. The article of claim 19 comprising a medium storing instructions that, when executed result in dynamically resizing said image data received from one of said clients to be displayed in one of said viewing areas and dynamically resizing said image data received from another of said clients to be displayed in another of said viewing areas.

21. The article of claim 13 comprising a medium storing instructions that, when executed result in presenting a user interface having one or more image elements that are prioritized as a higher priority image element or a lower priority image element, said prioritization received with said image data as presentation metadata, and automatically and dynamically constructing said user interface to reflect the prioritization of said image elements.

22. The article of claim 21 comprising a medium storing instructions that, when executed result in grouping said higher priority interface image elements and said lower priority interface image elements in a logical manner.

23. The article of claim 22 comprising a medium storing instructions that, when executed result in prominently displaying said higher priority image elements.

24. The article of claim 23 comprising a medium storing instructions that, when executed result in displaying said higher priority image elements on a first display screen and said lower priority image elements on a subsequent display screen.

25. An apparatus comprising:

a flash memory to receive image data from one or more client devices over a wireless link; and

a processor operabley coupled to said flash memory and to a display and to present said client image data on said display such that said presentation of said client image data is different from the presentation of the same image data on the client device.

26. The apparatus of claim 25 wherein said presentation of said client image data comprises automatically dividing said display into one or more viewing areas such that said client image data received from one of said clients is displayed in one of said viewing areas while said client image data received from another of said clients is displayed in another of said viewing areas.

27. The system of claim 25 wherein the presentation of said client image data on said display comprises presenting a user interface having one or more image elements that are prioritized as a higher priority image element or a lower priority image element, said prioritization received with said image data as presentation metadata, and automatically and dynamically constructing said user interface to reflect the prioritization of said image elements.

28. A method comprising:

prioritizing one or more user interface image elements as a higher priority image element or a lower priority image element; and

storing said prioritization of said user interface image elements as presentation metadata that is associated with the data for a user interface, such that said user interface is enabled to be constructed to reflect said prioritization.

29. The method of claim 28 further including enabling said higher priority image elements to be displayed on a first display screen.

30. The method of claim 29 further including enabling said lower priority image elements to be displayed on a subsequent screen.
