Abstract

Device management includes receiving an image including one or more display devices, the image including contextual data associated with environmental information surrounding the one or more display devices. An updated image of the image of the one or more display devices is displayed. The updated image projects a view of the one or more display devices from a desired perspective.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for device management, comprising:
receiving an image including one or more display devices, the image including contextual data associated with environmental information surrounding the one or more display devices; and
controlling, by a processor device, a display showing an updated image of the image of the one or more display devices, the updated image projecting a view of the one or more display devices from a desired viewing perspective using perspective correction.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
recognizing a device type for each of the one or more display devices based on a respective content displayed;
retrieving measurement data for each of the one or more display devices according to corresponding device type; and
providing one or more device arrangement templates, each template providing indicators for mapping to marked measurement of the one or more display devices.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
recommending a filter based on the contextual data and the environmental information, wherein the filter is configured to neutralize a color palette; and
causing update of a mat of at least one display device of the one or more display devices based on the contextual data and the environmental information.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
sensing, by sensors of an electronic device, data comprising distance and angle of the electronic device to the one or more display devices;
determining a deformation level based on the sensed data and image of the one or more display devices;
calculating position of a viewpoint relative to the one or more display devices based on the deformation level; and
determining an ideal viewing position based on size, shape and layout of the one or more display devices.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining combinations of placement locations for the one or more display devices;
marking display device representations with measurement information for a display device placement structure; and
displaying template recommendations with the measurement information based on the determined combinations of placement locations.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting ambient colors and lighting of an environment surrounding the one or more display devices;
determining filters for neutralizing a color palette of content displayed on the one or more display devices based on the detected ambient colors; and
providing recommendations for application of the determined filters to the content displayed on the one or more display devices.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting ambient colors and lighting of an environment surrounding the one or more display devices;
determining a group of content for display on the one or more display devices based on the detected ambient colors and lighting.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting a pattern design on an environment surrounding the one or more display devices;
analyzing the pattern design for identifying a repeating pattern, arrangement of the repeating pattern and spatial relationship of the repeating pattern to a location of at least one of the one or more display devices;
determining filling patterns for regions of the repeating pattern that would display under a mat area of the at least one display device; and
replacing the mat area content with the filling patterns.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining combinations of placement locations for the one or more display devices;
displaying template recommendations based on the determined combinations of placement locations; and
providing indications on a canvas structure for display device placement based on a received selection of one of the template recommendations.

10. A system for device management comprising:
a memory storing instructions; and
at least one processor executing the instructions including a process configured to:
receive an image including one or more display devices, the image including contextual data associated with environmental information surrounding the one or more display devices; and
control a display showing an updated image of the image of the one or more display devices, the updated image projecting a view of the one or more display devices from a desired viewing perspective using perspective correction.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the process is further configured to:
recognize a device type for each of the one or more display devices based on a respective content displayed;
retrieve measurement data for each of the one or more display devices according to corresponding device type; and
provide one or more device arrangement templates, each template providing indicators for mapping to marked measurement of the one or more display devices.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the process is further configured to:
recommend a filter based on the contextual data and the environmental information, wherein the filter is configured to neutralize a color palette; and
cause an update of a mat of at least one display device of the one or more display devices based on the contextual data and the environmental information.

13. The system of claim 10 , further comprising:
one or more sensors configured to sense data comprising distance and angle of to the one or more display devices;
wherein the process is further configured to:
determine a deformation level based on the sensed data and image of the one or more display devices;
calculate position of a viewpoint relative to the one or more display devices based on the deformation level; and
determine an ideal viewing position based on size, shape and layout of the one or more display devices.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the process is further configured to:
determine combinations of placement locations for the one or more display devices;
illuminating display device representations based on measurement information for a display device placement structure; and
display template recommendations with the measurement information based on the determined combinations of placement locations.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the process is further configured to:
detect ambient colors and lighting of an environment surrounding the one or more display devices;
determine filters for neutralizing a color palette of content displayed on the one or more display devices based on the detected ambient colors; and
provide recommendations for application of the determined filters to the content displayed on the one or more display devices.

16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the process is further configured to:
detect a pattern design on an environment surrounding the one or more display devices;
analyze the pattern design to identify a repeating pattern, arrangement of the repeating pattern and spatial relationship of the repeating pattern to a location of at least one of the one or more display devices;
determine filling patterns for regions of the repeating pattern that would display under a mat area of the at least one display device; and
replace the mat area content with the filling patterns.

17. A non-transitory processor-readable medium that includes a program that when executed by a processor device performs a method comprising:
receiving an image including one or more display devices, the image including contextual data associated with environmental information surrounding the one or more display devices; and
controlling, by
