PHYSICAL OBJECT VISUALIZATION FRAMEWORK FOR COMPUTING DEVICE WITH INTERACTIVE DISPLAY
First Claim
1. An interactive computing device, comprising:
- an interactive display configured to detect a tag positioned proximate a display surface of the interactive display; and
a processor configured to execute an application program and an application programming interface;
wherein the application programming interface is configured to receive a tag monitoring request from the application program, the tag monitoring request including application-specific tag visualization settings; and
wherein the application programming interface is configured to receive a tag tracking message from the interactive display, and in response send a visualization command to the interactive display, the visualization command being based upon the application-specific tag visualization settings received from the application program, and configured to cause the interactive display to display a visualization graphic proximate the tag.

Abstract
Devices and methods for displaying a visualization graphic on an interactive display are provided. One disclosed device may include an interactive display configured to detect a tag positioned proximate a display surface of the interactive display. The device may further include a processor configured to execute an application program and an application programming interface (API) configured to receive a tag monitoring request from the application program. The tag monitoring request may include application-specific tag visualization settings. The API may be configured to receive a tag tracking message from the interactive display, and in response, send a visualization command to the interactive display. The visualization command may be based upon the application-specific tag visualization settings and may be configured to cause the interactive display to display a visualization graphic proximate the tag.

11. A method of displaying a visualization graphic on an interactive display, comprising:
-
at an application programming interface, receiving a tag monitoring request from an application program, the tag monitoring request including application-specific tag visualization settings; receiving a tag tracking message from the interactive display indicating that a tag has been detected by the interactive display; sending a visualization command to the interactive display, the visualization command being based upon the application-specific tag visualization settings received from the application program, and configured to cause the interactive display to display a visualization graphic proximate the tag. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19)

20. Computer readable media having instructions stored thereon that when executed by a processor of a computing device cause the computing device to perform the following steps:
-
at an application programming interface, receiving a tag monitoring request from an application program, the tag monitoring request including application-specific tag visualization settings; receiving a tag tracking message from the interactive display indicating that a tag has been detected by the interactive display; sending a visualization command to the interactive display, the visualization command being based upon the application-specific tag visualization settings received from the application program, and configured to cause the interactive display to display a visualization graphic proximate the tag.
