AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION OF THE LOGICAL ORIENTATION OF MULTIPLE MONITORS BASED ON CAPTURED IMAGES

摘要

A system and method for configuring the display of a virtual workspace on multiple monitors connected to a single computing device based on images/frames captured by multiple cameras is described. A monitor orientation controller analyzes the frames to detect motion/movement within the captured scene and a corresponding centroid of the detected motion. The monitor orientation controller determines the positions of the monitors relative to each other based on the calculated centroids. Based on the relative determined positions of the monitors, the monitor orientation controller adjusts how the virtual workspace is displayed on the monitors. Other embodiments are also described.

1. A method for configuring the arrangement of a virtual workspace on a plurality of monitors, comprising:
capturing, by a first camera, a first set of frames representing a scene in front of the first and second monitors from the perspective of the first monitor; capturing, by a second camera, a second set of frames representing the scene in front of the first and second monitors from the perspective of the second monitor; detecting motion in each of the first and second sets of frames; and adjusting the display of the virtual workspace on the first and second monitors based on the detected motion in each set of frames.
