Peer to peer gesture based modular presentation system
First Claim
1. A system for providing content in a modular presentation system, comprising:
- a plurality of displays, wherein each display neighbors at least one other display and all the displays communicate within a peer-to-peer system, each of the plurality of display associated with;
an input device configured to receive a gesture input; and
a processor, each processor associated with an I/O port and configured to interpret the gesture received by the associated input device, each display processor configured with directional information for at least one neighboring display, each I/O port configured to receive and transmit messages to a neighboring display, wherein each processor is configured to propagate content to a neighboring display.

Abstract
A peer-to-peer modular presentation system is disclosed for providing improved presentations. The system includes a plurality of displays. Each display is associated with an input device, processor and input/output port. The plurality of displays may include static or mobile wherein each display is aware of the displays immediately surrounding it or of the displays in a remote site during a teleconference. A propagation direction may be configured for at least two of the displays in the system. Propagation may be initiated for multiple displays by generating a gesture input at one display. The gesture input will cause content to be presented in the particular display, and initiate propagation of content along the configured direction in neighboring displays. Content may be fed to a particular display through a stack or other memory that is associated with the display.

5. A method of providing content in a modular presentation system having a plurality of displays, each display associated with a processor, input device, and an I/O port, the method comprising:
-
receiving gesture input by an input device associated with a first of the plurality of displays, the first display presenting a first content, the first content associated with a first content identification information;
interpreting the gesture input by the processor associated with the first display;
retrieving a second content identification information;
sending the first content identification information to a neighboring display; and
presenting a second content at the first display, the second content associated with the second content identification information. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 20)

13. A computer program product for execution by a computer for providing content in a modular presentation system having a plurality of displays, each display associated with a processor, input device, and an I/O port, comprising:
-
computer code for receiving gesture input by an input device associated with a first of the plurality of displays, the first display presenting a first content, the first content associated with a first content identification information;
computer code for interpreting the gesture input by the processor associated with the first display;
computer code for retrieving a second content identification information;
computer code for sending the first content identification information to a neighboring display; and
computer code for presenting a second content at the first display, the second content associated with the second content identification information. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
