Appl. No.:

11/544109

Inventors:

James R. Cole - Albany OR, US
Lonnie D. Mandigo - Corvallis OR, US
Kenneth H. Bronstein - Corvallis OR, US

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

G03B 21/26

US Classification:

353 30, 348 1401

Abstract:

A projector/camera system includes a projector, configured to project a sequenced image to a projection location, and a camera, located at the projection location and oriented to take an image of a region including the projector. The camera is configured to capture a sequenced image that is synchronized and out of phase with the sequenced image of the projector, thereby to minimize light interference from the projector.

International Classification:

G06F 3/12
G06K 15/00

US Classification:

358 115, 358 118

Abstract:

A publication is distributed by an automated publication delivery system. Activity around a physical location of the automated publication delivery system is monitored. In response to detection of an increased activity level around the physical location of the automated publication delivery system, additional copies of the publication are printed for distribution. For example, the automated publication delivery system is a kiosk and the publication is a newspaper. Monitoring is performed, for example, using a microphone to monitor noise level, an optical sensor to detect movement near the automated publication delivery system, and/or a motion detector to detect movement near the automated publication delivery system.
