Projected Information Handling System Input Interface with Dynamic Adjustment
First Claim
1. An information handling system comprising:
- a housing;
processing components disposed in the housing and operable to cooperate to process information;
a display interfaced with the processing components and operable to present the information as visual images;
a projector interfaced with the processing components and operable to present an image of an input device;
a camera interfaced with the processing components and operable to capture images of inputs made by an end user at the input device; and
an input device engine operable to execute on one or more of the processing components, the input device engine generating the input device for presentation by the projector on a surface by analyzing the images captured by the camera and adjusting the input device to adapt to information determined from the analyzing.

Abstract
Projected input and output devices adapt to a desktop environment by sensing objects at the desktop environment and altering projected light in response to the sensed objects. For instance, projection of input and output devices is altered to limit illumination against and end user'"'"'s hands or other objects disposed at a projection surface. End user hand positions and motions are detected to provide gesture support for adapting a projection work space, and configurations of projected devices are stored so that an end user can rapidly recreate a projected desktop. A projector scan adjusts to limit traces across inactive portions of the display surface and to increase traces at predetermined areas, such as video windows.

9. A method for adapting a projected device, the method comprising:
-
capturing an image with a camera of a projection surface; analyzing the image to detect an object disposed between a projector and the projection surface; generating an image of a projected device for presentation at the projection surface; and projecting the image of the projected device at the projection surface with illumination of the projected device altered at the object. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
