Systems and methods for projecting content from computing devices
First Claim
1. A method for projecting content from a computing device to alternate display device(s), comprising:
- selecting via a first user interface mechanism of the computing device content for transmission to at least one alternate display device capable of receiving the content, wherein said content includes public content and private content;
displaying on said computing device said content including both said public content and said private content; and
transmitting at least said public content of the selected content to the at least one alternate display device, whereby if a public/private mechanism is enabled on said computing device, when said content is rendered on the at least one alternate display device, only the public content is rendered.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided hat enable an alternate display device to wirelessly receive content from a computing device, freeing users from the burden of physically connecting the computing device via a cable. The content sent to the display device can also be simultaneously or separately viewed on the computing devices of other nearby computing devices. Generic mechanism(s) and corresponding user interfaces are provided for computing devices to engage in discovery of devices to which content may be delivered, for accepting delivery and for initiating transmission of content.

19. At least one computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions for implementing a method of interfacing with a user of a computing device having content including at least one public portion and at least one private portion capable of being projected to other computing devices, the method comprising:
-
displaying a user interface on the computing device;
selecting via the user interface the content including the at least one public portion; and
via said user interface, transmitting at least said at least one public portion of the selected content to the other computing devices, whereby when said content is rendered on at least one of the other computing devices, only the at least one public portion is rendered. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A server computing device for projecting content from the server computing device to at least one client display device capable of rendering the content substantially simultaneously with the rendering of the content on said server computing device, comprising:
-
a user interface mechanism for selecting content for transmission to the at least one client display device, wherein said content includes public content and private content; and
a transmitter component for sending at least the public content of the content selected by said user interface mechanism to the at least one client display device, whereby when said content is rendered on the at least one client display device, only the public content is rendered, and substantially simultaneously, both the public content and the private content are displayed on said server computing device. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)

44. A computing device for projecting content to at least one alternate display device capable of receiving the content, comprising:
-
a user interface component for selecting content for transmission to the at least one alternate display device, wherein said content includes public content and private content;
means for displaying on said computing device said content including both said public content and said private content; and
means for transmitting at least said public content of the selected content to the at least one alternate display device, whereby when said content is rendered on the at least one alternate display device, only the public content is rendered substantially in synchronization with the display of said public content on said computing device by said means for displaying. - View Dependent Claims (45, 46, 47, 48)

49. At least one computer readable medium comprising computer executable modules comprising computer executable instructions for implementing a method of interfacing with a computing device having content including at least one public portion and at least one private portion capable of being projected to other computing devices, the modules comprising:
-
a user interface component for selecting the content;
means for transmitting at least said at least one public portion of the selected content to the other computing devices, whereby when said content is rendered on at least one of the other computing devices, only the at least one public portion is rendered. - View Dependent Claims (50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56)
