Abstract

The present disclosure provides display devices and methods. A display device can include a visual curvilinear display mounted on a support member. A user may display or project media through the visual curvilinear display according to a display and/or location preference or schedule of the user.

Claims

1. A system for displaying or projecting media selected by a user, comprising:

a support member that is mountable on an inanimate object;

a visual curvilinear display mounted on said support member, wherein said visual curvilinear display is configured to display or project said media selected by said user, which media includes at least one of text, image and video; and

a controller in communication with said visual curvilinear display, wherein said controller is programmed to direct said visual curvilinear display to display or project said media according to a display and/or location preference or schedule of said user.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein said inanimate object is a vehicle.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein said support member is a frame.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein said visual curvilinear display is flexible.

6. The system of claim 1, further comprising an inductively chargeable battery operatively coupled to said visual curvilinear display.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein said visual curvilinear display is removable from said support member.

9. The system of claim 1, further comprising a communications bus for bringing said visual curvilinear display in communication with said controller, wherein said communications bus is mounted on said support member.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein said controller is mounted on said support member.

13. The system of claim 1, wherein said visual curvilinear display is a light emitting diode screen or a projector.

15. The system of claim 1, further comprising a camera in communication with said controller.

16. The system of claim 1, further comprising an additional visual curvilinear display that is in communication with said visual curvilinear display.

18. The system of claim 1, wherein said support member is removably mountable on said inanimate object.

19. A method for displaying or projecting media selected by a user, comprising:

(a) providing (i) a support member removably mounted on an inanimate object, and (ii) a visual curvilinear display mounted on said support member, wherein said visual curvilinear display is configured to display or project said media selected by said user, which media includes at least one of text, image and video;

(b) accessing a display and/or location preference or schedule of said user in computer memory; and

(c) using said visual curvilinear display to display or project said media according to said display and/or location preference or schedule of said user.

20. The method of claim 19, further comprising receiving input from said user to display or project said media, wherein said input is received on said visual curvilinear display or on an electronic device of said user.

22. The method of claim 19, further comprising receiving said preference or schedule from said user, and storing said preference or schedule in said computer memory.

21. (canceled)

23. A system for analyzing response to media from a user, comprising:

a support member that is mountable on an inanimate object;

a display member mounted on said support member, wherein said display member is configured to display or project said media selected by said user, which media includes at least one of text, image and video;

a sensor that collects one or more signals that are indicative of a response of at least one individual to said media displayed or projected by said display member; and

a controller in communication with said display member and said sensor, wherein said controller is programmed to (i) direct said display member to display or project said media, (ii) receive said one or more signals from said sensor and (iii) determine said response based at least in part on said one or more signals received from said sensor.

25. The system of claim 23, wherein said display member is a display screen, and wherein said display screen is curvilinear or flexible.

28. The system of claim 23, wherein said controller is programmed to determine a score indicative of a quality of a relationship value between said user and said at least one other individual based at least in part on said response.

29. The system of claim 28, wherein said controller is programmed to determine one or more waypoints between transitions from one quality of relationship value to another quality of relationship value.

32. The system of claim 23, wherein said controller is programmed with a relationship analysis engine that determines or quantifies a quality of one or more relationships between said user and one or more other persons or entities.
