ACTIVATION OBJECTS FOR INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A presentation system comprising:
- a processing device;
one or more activation objects, each activation object comprising a corresponding position-coding pattern and each activation object being mapped to a corresponding activity; and
a detection system configured to detect the position-coding pattern on an activation object with which an input device interacts, and to identify selection of a first activation object based on detection of a first position-coding pattern corresponding to the first activation object;
the processing device being further configured to transmit to one or more peripheral devices one or more instructions for performing the activity corresponding to the first activation object, in response to selection of the first activation object.

Abstract
An interactive system can include a display device, a control panel, a projector, a processing device, and an input device. The input device can detect indicia of its posture relative to the control panel or a display surface of the display device, so that the interactive system can recognize interactions between the input device and these components. Interactions between the input device and the display surface can be captured, analyzed by the processing device, and then represented in an image projected onto the display surface. The control panel can comprise a plurality of non-projected, tactile activation objects, each of which can correspond to an activity or function of the interactive system, such as, for example, powering on the projector. When the interactive system detects an interaction between the input device and an activation object, the activity corresponding to the selected activation object can be performed.

15. A presentation system comprising:
-
a display device having a display surface with a first position coding pattern; a peripheral device; an activation object having a second position coding pattern, the activation object being associated with a first command related to the peripheral device; an input device for detecting a local position-coding pattern indicating a current posture of the input device with respect to an object comprising the local position-coding pattern; and a processing system configured to receive indicia of the current posture of the input device and, if the indicia indicates selection of the activation object, to transmit an instruction to the peripheral device to execute the first command. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method comprising:
-
providing one or more activation objects and one or more position-coding patterns, each activation object having a corresponding position-coding pattern, and each activation object being associated with a corresponding command related to one or more hardware devices; detecting a posture of an input device with respect to the activation objects, based on detection of at least one of the position-coding patterns; identifying selection of a first activation object based on the posture of the input device; and transmitting an instruction to at least one of the hardware devices to comply with the command associated the first activation object, in response to the selection of the first activation object. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
