Input device for use with a display system
First Claim
1. A projection system comprising:
- a projection device;
a displayed image projected by the projection device, the displayed image including one or more selectable items;
an input device being movable in free space and configured to point to the selectable items, the input device being configured to provide a double-click input to effect one or more changes in a graphical user interface that corresponds with a selection of a particular one of the selectable items at which the input device is pointed, wherein any movement of the input device after initiation on of the double-click input is ignored by the graphical user interface until completion of the double-click input; and
a cursor displayed as part of the graphical user interface and configured to indicate where the input device is pointed within the graphical user interface, the cursor being movable with the input device, wherein the cursor is configured to;
(1) stay at a location at which the input device was pointed when the double-click entry was initiated, and (2) move back to the location at which the input device was pointed when the double-click entry was initiated after a preselected amount of time long enough to register the double-click entry.

Abstract
A methods and systems for use of an input device with a display system are disclosed. In an example embodiment, a projection device configured to project a displayed image is provided where the displayed image includes one or more selectable items. The projection system further includes an input device which may be movable in free space and may be configured to point to the selectable items. The input device may be enabled to provide a double-click input to effect one or more changes in a graphical user interface that corresponds with a selection of a particular one of the selectable items at which the input device is pointed. The double click input may be identified such that movement of the input device after initiation of the double-click input may be ignored by the graphical user interface until completion of the double click input.

13. A system comprising:
-
a projection device configured to project an image; a graphical user interface including one or more graphical elements displayed in the image, the graphical user interface configured to accept one or more inputs having a minimum duration between receiving an initiation signal and a termination signal; an input device being movable in free space and configured to point at one of the one or more graphical elements and configured to provide the initiation signal to the graphical user interface, the initiation signal triggering a response from the graphical user interface corresponding to a selection of a specific one of the one or more graphical elements at which the input device is pointed, wherein any movement of the input device after receipt of the initiation signal is ignored by the system when the termination signal is received within a predetermined amount of time; and a cursor displayed as part of the graphical user interface and configured to indicate where the input device is pointed within the graphical user interface, the cursor being movable with the input device, wherein the cursor is configured to;
(1) stay at a location at which the input device was pointed when the double-click entry was initiated, and (2) move back to the location at which the input device was pointed when the double-click entry was initiated after a preselected amount of time long enough to register the double-click entry.

14. A projection system comprising:
-
a projection device configured to project an image as an interactive display; an input device operatively coupled for communication with the projection device; a computing device application module configured to run a computer-enabled application and to receive input; a processor enabled input verification module configured to-detect when a user is attempting to register a double-click input with the interactive device before sending a double-click input to the computing device application module; and the input verification module further configured to send the double-click input to the computing device as having occurred at a first location on the display when a temporal duration between a first click and a second click is below a predetermined threshold, wherein the interactive display input is configured to display a cursor on the display indicative of a location at which the input device is pointed, and the input verification module is further configured to cause the cursor to move to a specific location on the display at which the input device was pointed when the double-click input was initiated regardless of where the input device was pointed when the double-click input was completed. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
