Claim:
A system comprising: a display recognition device having at least a display recognizer and an input device, wherein the display recognition device is configured to capture an image of a space containing a display; a computer comprising a multimedia platform and configured to receive data from the display recognition device; and a sender and a receiver connected to the computer, wherein the receiver is in data communication with the display and wherein the sender and receiver are configured to transfer a signal from the computer to a display; wherein the system is configured to transform elements of the image such that the system forms at least one quadrilateral from the image by combining separate pixels to form continuous lines and processing coordinates of the combined pixels to deduce at least one line equation and detect edges of at least one quadrilateral, divide each of the identified quadrilaterals into two triangles having two sides corresponding to adjacent sides of the identified quadrilaterals, calculate the ratios of the two sides of each of the two triangles, combine the ratios to obtain an apparent aspect ratio, and compare the apparent aspect ratio with a known aspect ratio of the display; and wherein the system is configured to select one of the at least one quadrilateral as a selected quadrilateral corresponding to the display.
