Resources of a system for controlling optically switchable windows may be used for a personal computing unit. The window system resources may include (i) a display associated with an optically switchable window, (ii) one or more processors of one or more controllers on a window network connected to a plurality of optically switchable windows in a building, wherein the one or more controllers are configured to vary tint states of the plurality of optically switchable windows in the building, (iii) memory of one or more controllers on the window network connected to the plurality of optically switchable windows in the building, and/or (iv) at least a part of the window network.

Disclosed herein are systems, apparatuses, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media related to a display construct coupled to a structure (e.g., a vision window such as a tintable window). The structure can be a supportive structure such as a fixture. The display construct is configured to facilitate media display and is at least partially transparent. An interactive installation software tool and process aligns a digital configuration of the display construct and/or touch screen functionality of the display construct, with its physical configuration in a matrix of display constructs.

Thin-film devices, for example, multi-zone electrochromic windows, and methods of manufacturing are described. In certain cases, a multi-zone electrochromic window comprises a monolithic EC device on a transparent substrate and two or more tinting zones, wherein the tinting zones are configured for independent operation.

A device for securing a display to a door utilizes attachment clips which attach to the door. The attachment clips each have a first side wall, a second wall and an end wall which extends between the first side wall and the second side wall. An arm is attached to the first side wall. The arm is attached to a display retaining assembly which is configured, upon installation, to retain the display against the door, where the display retaining assembly applies a load which causes the first side wall to engage a first surface of the door and the second side wall to engage a second side of the door, thereby urging the end wall against a side of the door.

A tintable window is described having a tintable coating, e.g., an electrochromic device coating, for regulating light transmitted through the window. In some embodiments, the window has a transparent display in the window's viewable region. Transparent displays may be substantially transparent when not in use, or when the window is viewed in a direction facing away from the transparent display. Windows may have sensors for receiving user commands and/or for monitoring environmental conditions. Transparent displays can display graphical user interfaces to, e.g., control window functions. Windows, as described herein, offer an alternative display to conventional projectors, TVs, and monitors. Windows may also be configured to receive, transmit, or block wireless communications from passing through the window. A window control system may share computational resources between controllers (e.g., at different windows). In some cases, the computational resources of the window control system are utilized by other building systems and devices.
