Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method automatically determines aligned edges of display devices for an aggregate display. The system includes a first mobile unit (MU) and a second MU. The first and second MUs include respective emitters, sensors, transceivers, and display devices. The emitters of the MUs are activated to transmit edge patterns based upon an inter-device communication such that when one of the sensors of the first MU receives the edge pattern from the second MU and vice versa, the MUs have an aligned edge. Select emitters of the MUs are activated to transmit a further edge pattern based upon a further inter-device communication such that when a corresponding sensor of the first MU receives the further edge pattern from the second MU and vice versa, the aligned edges are verified to be aligned.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A system, comprising: a plurality of devices positioned within a predetermined area, each device having a plurality of edges, at least one device of the plurality of devices further comprising: a transceiver operated to establish an inter-device communication with at least one other device of the plurality of devices to determine a first edge pattern and a second edge pattern; an emitter disposed along at least one edge of the plurality of edges, the emitter operat…
