Communicating Audio Data

Abstract

A system including a display device including a display surface. The system can include a camera to capture one or more images of the display surface. A computing device can be connected to the camera to control the camera and to recognize an object placed on the display surface.

1 . A system comprising:
 a display device including a display surface;   a camera to capture one or more images of the display surface; and   a computing device connected to the camera to control the camera and to recognize an object placed on the display surface.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a transmitter to communicate data from the computing device to the object. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the transmitter is a wireless transmitter. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the transmitter is an infrared transmitter or ultraviolet transmitter. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the data is audio data. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the display device is one of, a rear projection display device, a liquid crystal display device, a cathode ray tube display device, or a plasma display device. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a receiver to communicate audio data from the object to the computing device. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the receiver is, a charge-coupled device (CCD), a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor, an infrared receiver, an infrared Data Association (IrDA) transceiver or combinations thereof. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the computing device can enable data transmission with one or more devices. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising logic in the object to convert digital audio from the computing system to an analog form. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a touch screen input device on the display device. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the computing device and the display device are integrated. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising an enclosure to protect the camera and the surface of the display device. 
     
     
         14 . A method of communicating with an object comprising:
 capturing one or more images of a display surface with a camera;   recognizing an object on the display surface with a computing system connected to the camera; and   transmitting data to the object on the display surface.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the computing device determines to transmit data from one or more devices. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising receiving by the computing system an input from a touch screen input device. 
     
     
         17 . A non-transitory computer readable media comprising instructions that if executed by a computing system cause the computing system to:
 capture one or more images of a display surface with a camera;   recognize an object on the display surface with a computing system connected to the camera; and   transmit data to the object on the display surface.   
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory computer readable media of  claim 17  further comprising instruction if executed cause the computing system to receive audio data to the object on the display surface. 
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory computer readable media of  claim 17  further comprising instruction if executed cause the computing system to determine to transmit data from one or more devices. 
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory computer readable media of  claim 18  further comprising instruction if executed cause the computing system to receive an input from a touch screen input device.
