Network accessible projectors that display multiple client screens at once
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a display operable to present image information to a user;
a network interface; and
a control unit operable to provide client software to network devices that enables the network devices to interact with the system,the control unit further operable to receive input via the network interface from the client software operating on multiple network devices, to process the input from the client software to generate image information for the display, and to provide the generated image information to the display,wherein the generated image information comprises multiple windows that each represent a screenshot of a network device operating the client software,the system is a projector,the display comprises a light emitting unit operable to project visible light representing image information onto a screen, andthe control unit is further operable to process the input from the client software to generate image information for the light emitting unit, and to provide the generated image information to the light emitting unit for projection onto the screen.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for provisioning, via a projector, client software for accessing the projector from a network. The projector includes a light emitting unit that projects visible light representing image information onto a screen, a network interface, and a control unit. The control unit provides client software to network devices that enables the network devices to interact with the projector, receives input via the network interface from the client software operating on multiple network devices, processes the input from the client software to generate image information for the light emitting unit, and provides the generated image information to the light emitting unit for projection onto the screen.
