摘要:
A method for constructing a graphical representation of a plurality of tables in a restaurant is carried out by a computer system. A receiver coupled to the computer system is in communication with a plurality of transmitters, each transmitter being responsive to a stimulus that causes the transmitter to transmit a unique message frame to the receiver. The computer system responds to a received message frame by checking to determine if the unique message frame had already been received during the current construction process, and if the message frame had not been received, displaying an icon representing a table associated with the transmitter. Each transmitter is subjected to the stimulus, thereby causing each transmitter to send the message frame to the receiver, and thereby causing the computer system to display one icon for each table.

System and method of communicating a plurality of food orders in a restaurant from a plurality of portable ordering devices to a food preparation area. Handwritten indicia representative at least an aspect of one of the plurality of food orders is created on one of the plurality of ordering devices. The indicia is communicated wirelessly from the one of the plurality of portable ordering devices for display in the food preparation area. Completion of the one of the plurality of orders can, optionally, be wirelessly communicated to the one of the plurality of portable ordering devices.
摘要:
In one embodiment, a projection screen includes a diffuse reflecting polarizer that diffusively reflects light polarized in a first direction and transmits light polarized in a second direction. The projection screen may also include a second polarizer adjacent a back side of the diffuse reflecting polarizer, wherein the second polarizer is oriented to transmit light polarized in the second direction. The projection screen may appear substantially diffuse when viewed from a front side and substantially transparent when viewed from a back side.
