In an image display device, a method of communicating over a network an invitation to use the image display device to at least one image source connected to the network is provided. The method may include forming an invitation message, wherein the invitation message contains an invitation for an image source to connect to the image display device to use a service on the image display device, and sending the invitation message to a multicasting address on the network.

Image display device and method of announcing a presence of an image display device over a network

A method for securing data transmitted over a network to an image display device. In one embodiment, the method may include identifying at least one image display device on the network, selecting the at least one image display device for transmission of data, activating a data protection process to generate locked data and transmitting the locked data to the image display device. The method may further include receiving a key to unlock the locked data such that the data is available to the image display device.

Security of data over a network

In an image display device figured to be connected to a network, a method of communicating over the network with a remote device on the network is disclosed. The method includes receiving a message sent to a multicast address on the network by the remote device, wherein the message includes an instruction to the image display device to perform a function; and performing the function instructed by the message.

Image display device and method of communicating with an image display device over a network

In an image display device configured to be connected to a network, a method of communicating over the network with a remote device on the network is disclosed. The method includes receiving a message sent to a multicast address on the network by the remote device, wherein the message includes an instruction to the image display device to perform a function; and performing the function instructed by the message.

Image display device executing instructions in a multicast message to configure itself to connect to a network

In a computing device, a method of updating over a network a set of executable instructions stored on an image-rendering device is disclosed, wherein the image-rendering device is operably associated with a projection device. The method includes detecting a version of the set of executable instructions on the image-rendering device, and sending an updated set of the executable instructions to the image-rendering device over the network.

System and method for updating an image display device from a remote location

A method for interfacing a device to a projector including identifying a network to which the device is connected, identifying at least one projector on network, identifying status of at least one projector, enabling selection of at least one projector based on identified status, and transmitting data to at least one projector depending on whether it is selected.

Projector device user interface system

A method for interfacing a device to a projector including identifying a network to which the device is connected, identifying at least one projector on the network, identifying a status of at least one projector, enabling selection of at least one projector based on the identified status, and transmitting data to at least one projector depending on whether it is selected.
