Central display with private secondary displays

摘要

An apparatus, system, and method for a central display with private secondary displays. The apparatus includes a central information handling device and a secondary generation module. The central information handling device generates a central image for a central display. The central display is in communication with a plurality of secondary devices communicating with a plurality of secondary displays. Each secondary device communicates with a distinct secondary display. The secondary generation module generates a secondary image for two or more of the secondary displays of the secondary devices. The central display is viewable concurrently by users of each secondary display.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a network component that communicates with a plurality of secondary devices over a data network, each secondary device communicating with a distinct secondary display, wherein at least one secondary device comprises a touch device having a secondary display comprising a touch screen; a processor; a memory that stores code executable by the processor to: generate a central image for a central display comprising a touch screen, the central display viewable concurrently by users of each secondary display; generate a common visual map associated with a plurality of secondary displays and containing visual data private to users of the secondary devices, the common visual map comprising a plurality of distinct secondary images for each secondary display,
wherein each secondary display image includes visual data private to a user of the corresponding secondary device,wherein each secondary image is linked to the central image and comprises different visual data than the central image, andwherein visual data of each secondary image has a visual component displayed on the central image; discover an additional secondary device; associate the additional secondary device with the central display in response to discovering the additional secondary device; add an additional secondary display of the additional secondary device to the common visual map; generate a first visual component in the central image in response to receiving an instruction to generate the first visual component from a secondary device; send a second visual component to one or more of the plurality of secondary devices based on a location in the common visual map and in response to a touch gesture on the central display, the central image remaining distinct from each secondary image; and alter an image of a first secondary display of the common visual map in response to a touch gesture on a second secondary display of the common visual map by removing a visual component of an image of the second secondary display and generating the visual component in the image of the first secondary display.
