One or more communication protocols may be used to enable communication. In response to communication already being established between the camera-based device and the display device, based on the configuration of the plurality of network settings, the display device may detect the camera-based device.

In operation 520, the camera-based device enables calibration for capturing an initial boundary in the display device. The calibration is performed to accommodate a boundary in the display device within a display area of the camera-based device 115, and locate data within the captured initial boundary.

In response to the calibration being completed, a position of the initial boundary on the display area of the camera-based device is fixed. According to an exemplary embodiment, scaling is performed to perform calibration. One or more scaling technologies may be used to perform calibration.

In operation 530, data, displayed on the displace device, is captured by the camera-based device. The capturing is performed so that the data may be augmented. The augmenting of the data includes associating the data that is displayed on the display device with additional data, and based on the association, a user may obtain improved knowledge regarding the displayed data.

A gesture may include a movement of the camera-based-device in a right, left, upward, or downward direction with respect to the display device. A gesture may also include rotation of the camera-based device in a clockwise direction or a counterclockwise direction with respect to the display device.

A gesture boundary is calculated so that the captured data is located in the gesture boundary that corresponds to a gesture.

In response to the gesture boundary being calculated, a gesture that is associated with the gesture boundary is determined.

In correspondence with the determined gesture, data is located on the display device. The locating of the data in correspondence with the determined gesture is performed based on a plurality of gesture commands that are transmitted by the camera-based device to the display device. The plurality of gesture commands may be transmitted by using one or more communication protocols, for example, a wireless protocol.

The mobile device 610 configures a plurality of network settings to enable communication between the display device 605 and the mobile device 610. One or more communication protocols may be used to enable the communication.

The mobile device 610 performs calibration to capture an initial boundary 615 in the display device 605. The calibration is performed to accommodate a boundary in the display device 605 within a display area of the mobile device 610. Additionally, the calibration may locate the data 625 within the captured initial boundary 615. According to an exemplary embodiment, the mobile device 610 performs calibration by employing scaling. In response to the calibration being performed, a position of the initial boundary 615 on the display area of the camera-based device is fixed.

Additionally, as shown in FIG. 6A, the data 625 that is displayed on the display device 605 is captured by the mobile device 610.

The mobile device 610 calculates a gesture boundary. As an example of the gesture boundary, a dashed rectangle 620 is shown in FIG. 6A. The gesture boundary is calculated with respect to the initial boundary. A gesture that is associated with the mobile device 610 is determined based on a position of the gesture boundary. A position of the dashed rectangle 620 is changed, based on movement of the mobile device 610 with respect to the initial boundary 615.

Referring to FIG. 6B, additional data 630 and the data 625 are associated with each other, and thus augmented data is generated. According to an exemplary embodiment, the additional data 630 may include information that enables a user to obtain detailed knowledge regarding the data 625. The additional data 630, stored in a memory of the mobile device 610, may also be generated by using one or more input devices such as a stylus or a touch input.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 6D, the mobile device 610 calculates a gesture boundary, by rotating the dashed rectangle 620 in a clockwise direction with respect to the initial boundary 615. The gesture boundary is calculated to accommodate the data 625 and the additional data 630 in response to the mobile device 610 being rotated in a counterclockwise direction.

Additionally, the mobile device 610 determines a gesture. In an exemplary embodiment, a gesture indicates rotation of the mobile device 610 in a clockwise direction. Similarly, various gestures, such as movement of the mobile device 610 in a left, right, upward, or downward direction or rotation of the mobile device 610 in a counterclockwise direction, may be determined.

Additionally, in response to the gesture being determined, the mobile device 610 may locate the data 625 and the additional data 630 on the display device 605 in a clockwise direction that corresponds to rotation of the mobile device 610.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the mobile device 610 may transmit a gesture-based command, for example, a command of rotating in a clockwise direction, and thus locate the data 625 and the additional data 630 on the display device 605 in a clockwise direction. When the gesture-based command is received, as shown in FIG. 6D, the data 625 and the additional data 630 are located on the display device 605 in a counterclockwise direction.

Similarly, various gesture-based commands that correspond to various gestures may be transmitted to the display device 605 to locate the data 625 and the additional data 630 on the display device 605.
