Video switcher and touch router method for multi-layer displays
First Claim
1. A method for presenting content based upon a first video signal from a controller and second video signal from a second video source at a multi-layer touch screen display, the method comprising:
- receiving one or more video signals from the controller and one or more video signals from a second video source at each of first and second display managers, each display manager in communication with a multi-layer touch screen display, wherein the first display manager is in communication with a front layer of the touch screen display and the second display manager is in communication with a back layer of the touch screen display;
controlling the multi-layer touch screen display, using the display managers, to present the one or more video signals from the controller and the one or more video signals from the second video source on the touch screen display on at least one layer of the touch screen display, and to scale and shift one or more of the video signals to a reconfigured size and render a display presentation that is representative of the video signals at the multi-layer touch screen display;
synchronizing the scaling or shifting of the first video signal and the second video signal on the front layer touch screen display with the back layer of the touch screen display; and
presenting a volumetric image of an interactive customer service window to an end user.

Abstract
A method for presenting both content based video signals and secondary video signals over a multi-layer touch screen display using a multiple display manager system is disclosed. First and second display managers are configured to receive primary content video signals from a controller and secondary video signals from a secondary video source. The first display manager is in communication with a front layer of the touch screen display and the second display manager is in communication with a back layer of the touch screen display. The screen may be split between multiple signals, or one or more signals may overlay one or more background signals. The overlaid signals may completely obscure the background signals, or they may provide a level of transparency. A touch router device interprets touches at a touch screen shared display to transform coordinates to enable interpretation of the player'"'"'s touch inputs.

12. A method for presenting a plurality of video signals from a first video source and one or more second video sources on a multi-layer touch screen display, the method comprising:
-
providing first and second display manager devices for receiving the video signals from the sources, wherein the first display manager device is in communication with a front layer of the touch screen display and the second display manager device is in communication with a back layer of the touch screen display; displaying primary content from a first video signal and secondary content from at least a second video signal on the multi-layer touch screen display, using the display manager devices, in one or more of an adjacent or overlapping condition by scaling or shifting one of at least the first video signal or the one or more second video signals to alter the size and to render the first video signal with the one or more second video signals on the multi-layer touch screen display; synchronizing the scaling or shifting of the first video signal and the second video signal on the front layer touch screen display with the back layer of the touch screen display; and presenting a volumetric image of an interactive customer service window to an end user. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method for presenting a plurality of video signals on a multi-layer touch screen display, the method comprising:
-
generating a first video signal including primary content from a controller and sending the first video signal to a first display manager and to a second display manager; configuring the first display manager and the second display manager to receive a second video signal including secondary content from a secondary video source, wherein the first display manager is in communication with a front layer of the touch screen display and the second display manager is in communication with a back layer of the touch screen display; displaying the primary content from the first video signal and the secondary content from the second video signal on the multi-layer touch screen display, the display managers configured to scale or shift at least one of the first video signal or the second video signal to alter the size and to render the first video signal with the second video signal at the multi-layer touch screen display; synchronizing the scaling or shifting of the first video signal and the second video signal on the front layer touch screen display with the back layer of the touch screen display; and presenting a volumetric image of an interactive customer service window to an end user. - View Dependent Claims (20)
