Display Device
First Claim
1. A touch sensitive image display device for projecting a touch sensitive displayed image at an acute angle onto a surface on which the device is placed, the device comprising:
- a first light source to project a first light distribution;
a second light source to project a second light distribution;
a touch sensor system to remotely detect touch of an area of said surface within or adjacent to said displayed image by detecting change of said first light distribution, and having an output to provide a detected touch signal;
a presence sensor system to remotely detect presence of an object at least partially within said second light distribution by detecting change of said second light distribution, and having an output to provide a detected presence signal;
a controller configured to control said device responsive to said detected touch signal and further configured to control said device responsive to said detected presence signal.

25. A consumer electronic device having a touch sensitive user interface, the device comprising:
-
an input to receive data defining a touch sensitive image for display; an image processor coupled to said input, to receive said data defining a touch sensitive image for display and to output distortion compensated image data for said touch sensitive image for display; image projection optics including a spatial light modulator coupled to said image processor configured to project towards a surface at an acute angle to the surface to provide a projected image for said touch sensitive user interface; a remote touch sensing system for said touch sensitive user interface comprising an illumination system configured to illuminate a region adjacent said projected image, and an image capture system to capture scattered light from said illuminated region resulting from touching said projected image; a power management system to control power to switch off at least said illumination system of said remote touch sensing system in response to absence of use of the consumer electronic device and to switch on at least said illumination system of said remote touch sensing system in response to detection of proximity of a user of the consumer electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28)

29. A touch sensitive image display device for projecting a touch sensitive displayed image at an acute angle onto a surface on which the device is placed, the device comprising:
-
a light source to project a first light distribution; a light source to project a second light distribution; a multi-pixel sensor system to remotely detect location of touch of an area of said surface within or adjacent to said displayed image by detecting light from said first distribution, and having an output to provide a detected touch location signal; a presence sensor system to remotely detect presence of an object at least partially within said second light distribution, and having an output to provide a detected object signal; a controller having an input to receive said detected touch location signal and an input to receive said detected object signal, and configured to control said touch sensitive image display device responsive to said signals, wherein said presence sensor system comprises at least one sensor and said detected object signal indicates at least one intensity of light received by said at least one said sensor. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)
