Real-time management of content depicted on a plurality of displays
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- detecting, by a first display comprising a processor and a sensor, a second display within a first distance of the first display and further detecting a third display within a second distance of the first display, the first distance being shorter than the second distance;
connecting, by the processor of the first display based on detecting the second display being within the first distance of the first display and the third display being within the second distance of the first display, the first display with the second display to form a screen for depicting a content, the screen comprising only the first display and the second display;
in response to connecting with the second display to form the screen, assigning, by the processor of the first display, a first segment of the content to the first display and a second segment of the content to the second display;
transmitting, by the processor of the first display to the second display, the second segment of the content for display by the second display;
causing, by the processor of the first display, the first segment of the content to be displayed on the first display;
after the content is displayed on the screen formed by the first display and the second display, further transmitting, by the processor of the first display, a copy of the content to the second display;
receiving, by the processor of the first display from the second display, a warning that the second display has utilized a feature to terminate a connection with the first display; and
after receiving the warning from the second display, receiving, by the processor of the first display from the second display, a confirmation message indicating a removal of the second display from the screen.

Abstract
The subject disclosure provides devices, methods, and computer readable programs for establishing a secure wireless connection among a plurality of displays thus forming a screen for purposes of depicting a larger version of a content. The formation of the screen may be initiated by a master display detecting a presence of a plurality of slave displays in the master display'"'"'s vicinity and requesting permission to connect to the detected slave displays. Furthermore, provided are methods and computer-executable programs that may facilitate easier collaboration and exchange of the content among users, a real-time adjustment of the content displayed on the screen, as well as an easier depiction of 3-dimensional content on a screen created by arranging the plurality of displays in a 3-dimensional configuration.
