TECHNICAL FIELD

This application relates in general to a system and method for providing image display, and more specifically, to a system and method for providing a digital image for decorating a living or workspace.

BACKGROUND

Until this point, to decorate walls, people would have to hang art, posters, banners, flags, and other objects, sometimes damaging the paint and walls in the process. With the Digital Décor Device you no longer have to worry about the aesthetic of your home or workplace. Over the last couple of decades we have seen major leaps in display type from LED, LCD, and plasma to OLED and QLED where organic materials are used as the medium to produce the light in the pixels.

This device will be just a few mm thick and feature a flexible outer shell and OLED display. With this product, individuals will be able to open an application on their phone and choose from preselected designs or create their own. This will allow those individuals who crave change the opportunity to update their room decoration with the tap of a button. Mounted with the use of temporary adhesives, the electrical components are housed in a small discrete box near the bottom of the image with a removable/rechargeable battery to ensure the system remains wireless. Simple Bluetooth connection may be used to sync the phone to the “poster.”

Therefore, a need exists for a discrete, affordable way to display images on the walls of homes and workplaces. The images can be created through an application for phones and displayed discretely with adhesives so that no damage to surfaces occurs. The ability to change the image on a whim will satisfy today's tech-savvy design consumer.

SUMMARY

In accordance with the present invention, the above and other problems are solved by providing a system and method for providing image display, and more specifically, to a system and method for providing a digital image/art box for decorating a living or workspace, according to the principles and example embodiments disclosed herein.

In one embodiment, the present invention is a system for providing a digital image/art box for decorating a living or workspace. The system for providing a digital image for decorating a living or workspace includes a wall décor device and a mobile application for uploading the digital image to the wall décor device. The wall décor device has a display for presenting the digital image, an image driver, and a wireless interface. The mobile application for uploading the digital image to the wall décor device includes a wireless uploader, a user interface and a network interface.

In another embodiment, the present invention is a method for providing a digital image/art box for decorating a living or workspace. The method logs into a remote image server using a mobile application transmitting a user ID, when the user ID is authenticated by the remote image server, transmits a search query to the remote image server, in response to the search query, receiving one or more image descriptions of available images for download, transmits a selected image from the one or more image descriptions of available images, receives the selected image from the remote image server, stores the selected image within the mobile application, connects to a wall décor device using a wireless interface and uploads the selected image to the wall décor device for display by the wall décor device.

The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the features and technical advantages of the present invention in order that the detailed description of the invention that follows may be better understood. Additional features and advantages of the invention will be described hereinafter that form the subject of the claims of the invention.

It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the conception and specific embodiment disclosed may be readily utilized as a basis for modifying or designing other structures for carrying out the same purposes of the present invention. It should also be realized by those skilled in the art that such equivalent constructions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. The novel features that are believed to be characteristic of the invention, both as to its organization and method of operation, together with further objects and advantages will be better understood from the following description when considered in connection with the accompanying figures. It is to be expressly understood, however, that each of the figures is provided for the purpose of illustration and description only, and is not intended as a definition of the limits of the present invention.
