Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods that are associated with billing one or more fees that are related to projection.

Claims

1-21. -21. (canceled)

22. A system comprising:

circuitry for associating one or more requests related to use of one or more user-directed projectors with one or more fees; and

circuitry for billing the one or more fees to one or more accounts.

23. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for associating one or more requests related to use of one or more user-directed projectors with one or more fees comprises:

circuitry for associating one or more requests related to projection onto one or more user selected projection surfaces with the one or more fees.

24. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for associating one or more requests related to use of one or more user-directed projectors with one or more fees comprises:

circuitry for associating one or more requests related to projection from one or more user selected projectors with the one or more fees.

25. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for associating one or more requests related to use of one or more user-directed projectors with one or more fees comprises:

circuitry for associating one or more requests related to projection from one or more user selected projectors onto one or more user selected projection surfaces with the one or more fees.

26. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for associating one or more requests related to use of one or more user-directed projectors with one or more fees comprises:

circuitry for associating one or more requests related to projection at one or more user locations with the one or more fees.

27. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for associating one or more requests related to use of one or more user-directed projectors with one or more fees comprises:

circuitry for associating one or more requests related to projection of user selected content with the one or more fees.

28. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for associating one or more requests related to use of one or more user-directed projectors with one or more fees comprises:

circuitry for associating one or more requests related to projection of user selected content at one or more user selected locations with the one or more fees.

29. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for associating one or more requests related to use of one or more user-directed projectors with one or more fees comprises:

circuitry for associating one or more requests related to projection of user selected content onto one or more user selected projection surfaces with the one or more fees.

30. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for associating one or more requests related to use of one or more user-directed projectors with one or more fees comprises:

circuitry for associating one or more requests related to projection of user selected content onto one or more user selected projection surfaces with one or more user selected projectors with the one or more fees.

31. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for associating one or more requests related to use of one or more user-directed projectors with one or more fees comprises:

circuitry for associating one or more requests related to receiving content from one or more users with the one or more fees.

32. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for associating one or more requests related to use of one or more user-directed projectors with one or more fees comprises:

circuitry for associating one or more requests related to receiving content from one or more users for projection by one or more user selected projectors with the one or more fees.

33. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for associating one or more requests related to use of one or more user-directed projectors with one or more fees comprises:

circuitry for associating one or more requests related to accessing content for one or more users with the one or more fees.

34. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for associating one or more requests related to use of one or more user-directed projectors with one or more fees comprises:

circuitry for associating one or more requests related to accessing content for projection by one or more user selected projectors with the one or more fees.

35. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for associating one or more requests related to use of one or more user-directed projectors with one or more fees comprises:

circuitry for associating one or more requests related to projection by one or more user-directed projectors at one or more user selected times with the one or more fees.

36. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for billing the one or more fees to one or more accounts comprises:

circuitry for billing the one or more fees to one or more prepaid accounts.

37. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for billing the one or more fees to one or more accounts comprises:

circuitry for billing the one or more fees to one or more credit card accounts.

38. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for billing the one or more fees to one or more accounts comprises:

circuitry for billing the one or more fees to one or more telephone associated accounts.

39. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for billing the one or more fees to one or more accounts comprises:

circuitry for billing the one or more fees to one or more wireless associated accounts.

40. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for billing the one or more fees to one or more accounts comprises:

circuitry for billing the one or more fees to one or more bank accounts.

41. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for billing the one or more fees to one or more accounts comprises:

withdrawing the one or more fees from the one or more accounts.

42. The system of claim 22, wherein the circuitry for billing the one or more fees to one or more accounts comprises:

crediting the one or more fees to one or more accounts.

43. A system comprising:

means for associating one or more requests related to use of one or more user-directed projectors with one or more fees; and

means for billing the one or more fees to one or more accounts.

44. A system comprising:

a signal-bearing medium bearing;

one or more instructions for associating one or more requests related to use of one or more user-directed projectors with one or more fees; and

one or more instructions for billing the one or more fees to one or more accounts.

45. The system of claim 44, wherein the signal-bearing medium includes a computer-readable medium.

46. The system of claim 44, wherein the signal-bearing medium includes a recordable medium.
