Patent ID: 8046701

Claim:
A system for providing a sequence of content in a peer-to-peer modular presentation system, comprising: a plurality of display devices, wherein each display device includes a corresponding plurality of a processor and memory system to control each corresponding display device, and wherein each display device neighbors at least one other display device and at least three of the plurality of display devices are in visual proximity to each other, and wherein each display device communicates within a peer-to-peer network; an input device that receives input of a gesture to move a first content from a first display device of the plurality of display devices to a second display device, wherein a second content of the second display device is moved from the second display device of the plurality of display devices to a third display device, wherein a propagation order of a third content followed by the second content followed by the first content represents a sequence; and wherein the processor corresponding to the first display device interprets a direction to move the first content from the first display device based on the gesture, wherein the gesture is made with a flick which indicates content to be moved and a direction without designating a destination display device, determines the destination display device to which the first content is to be moved, based on the direction indicated by the gesture and the position of the plurality of display devices, wherein the destination display device is the second display device, establishes a peer-to-peer connection between the first display device, the second display device, and the third display device, propagates the first content of the first display device to the second display device using the peer-to-peer connection, instructs the second display device to propagate the second content of the second display device to the third display device using the peer-to-peer connection, wherein the third display device is determined based on the direction indicated by the gesture, and wherein initiating the gesture changes the content displayed on all of the first display device, the second display device and the third display device.
