Content management and presentation systems and methods

A method comprising computer implemented software process steps for presenting a presentation, the steps comprising:

• establishing a direct tablet-to-tablet communication connection between a resident software application installed on a first tablet and the resident software application installed on a second tablet, wherein the resident software application of the first and second tablets includes a media view and a local asset container comprising a local storage filled with presentation files;
• communicating, after the communication connection is established, application-level synchronization data through the communication connection;
• retrieving a representative selected presentation, where a copy of the representative selected presentation is stored on each tablet and the representative selected presentation is retrieved from the local storage of each tablet when the representative selected presentation is selected, wherein in the representative selected presentation comprises a plurality of slides;
• using, after retrieval of the representative selected presentation, data in two-way communications in a communication channel in the communication connection to synchronize and maintain displays on both tablets to be synchronized;
• co-navigating during dual mirroring within the representative selected presentation on each tablet in response to interaction with the representative selected presentation on each tablet, such that each tablet user can navigate within the representative selected presentation and views of the representative selected presentation remain synchronized;
• identifying whether there is a navigation conflict by determining if the first and second user navigate to different areas in the presentation and resolving the conflict by determining which navigation move takes precedence and should be executed without effecting a navigation move for a conflicting navigation command selected by one of the users;
• receiving the first user's navigation move on the first tablet, attaching a timestamp to the first user's navigation move, and transmitting the first user's navigation move and the timestamp to the second tablet;
• and
• receiving the second user's navigation move on the second tablet, attaching a timestamp to the second user's navigation move, and transmitting the second user's navigation move, the timestamp of the second user's navigation move, and the timestamp of the first user's navigation move to the first tablet allowing the resident software application to determine whether the first tablet and the second tablet are in sync.

A non-transient computer readable medium containing computer readable instructions executable by a computer that when executed as part of resident software application on a tablet, the tablet carries out steps comprising:

• establishing a direct tablet-to-tablet communication connection between a resident software application installed on a first tablet and the resident software application installed on a second tablet, wherein and the resident software application of the first and second tablets includes a media view and a local asset container comprising a local storage filled with presentation files;
• communicating, after the communication connection is established, application-level synchronization data through the communication connection;
• retrieving a representative selected presentation, where a copy of the representative selected presentation is stored on each tablet and the representative selected presentation is retrieved from the local storage of each tablet when the representative selected presentation is selected, wherein in the representative selected presentation comprises a plurality of slides;
• using, after retrieval of the representative selected presentation, data in two-way communications in a communication channel to synchronize and maintain displays on both tablets to be synchronized;
• co-navigating during dual mirroring within the representative selected presentation on each tablet in response to interaction with the representative selected presentation on each tablet, such that each tablet user can navigate within the representative selected presentation and views of the representative selected presentation remain synchronized;
• identifying whether there is a navigation conflict by determining if the first and second user navigate to different areas in the presentation and resolving the conflict by determining which navigation move takes precedence and should be executed without effecting a navigation move for a conflicting navigation command selected by one of the users;
• receiving the first user's navigation move on the first tablet, attaching a timestamp to the first user's navigation move, and transmitting the first user's navigation move and the timestamp to the second tablet;
• and
• receiving the second user's navigation move on the second tablet, attaching a timestamp to the second user's navigation move, and transmitting the second user's navigation move, the timestamp of the second user's navigation move, and the timestamp of the first user's navigation move to the first tablet allowing the resident software application to determine whether the first tablet and the second tablet are in sync.
