Abstract:
1. A method for interfacing an interactive display surface (IDS) with a digital device, said method comprising: detecting said digital device when said digital device is brought into proximity of said IDS; identifying said digital device; establishing communications between said IDS and said digital device; displaying interactive representations of information upon said IDS, wherein said information is associated with said digital device and wherein a first interactive representation is displayed in a protected zone of said IDS, where functionality related to said first interactive representation is restricted while within said protected zone, and a second interactive representation is displayed in a common zone of said IDS, where functionality related to said second interactive representation is not restricted while within said common zone, wherein said first interactive representation and said second interactive representation are portions of said information that is associated with said digital device; detecting a second physical object, which is not a digital device and is not electronic, when said second object is brought into proximity of said IDS, wherein said second physical object is detected without establishing communication between said IDS and said second physical object; and displaying information related to said second object upon said IDS.
