Abstract

Digital workspace ergonomics apparatuses, method and systems (“DWE”) transform user multi-element touchscreen gestures via DWE components into updated digital collaboration whiteboard objects. In one embodiment, the DWE obtains user whiteboard input from a client device participating in a digital collaborative whiteboarding session. The DWE parses the user whiteboard input to determine user instructions, and modifies a tile object included in the digital collaborative whiteboarding session according to the determined user instructions. The DWE generates updated client viewport content for the client device. Also, the DWE determines that client viewport content of a second client device should be modified because of modifying the tile object included in the digital whiteboard. The DWE generates updated client viewport content for the second client device after determining that the content of the second client device should be modified, and provides the updated client viewport content to the second client device.

Dependent claims

A method for operating a server including a processor, the method comprising:

receiving, at a server and from a first client device, first viewport position coordinates identifying a first area in a digital whiteboard;
receiving, at the server and from a second client device, second viewport position coordinates identifying a second area in the digital whiteboard, the first area and the second area being at least partially non-overlapping areas in the digital whiteboard;
providing, to the first client device and during a whiteboarding session with both the first and second client devices, data representing content for an object having position coordinates within the first area, without providing, to the first client device, data representing portions of objects that (i) have position coordinates outside the first area and (ii) remain within the digital whiteboard;
and
providing, to the second client device and during the whiteboarding session, data representing content for an object having position coordinates within the second area, without providing, to the second client device, data representing portions of objects that (i) have position coordinates outside the second area and (ii) remain within the digital whiteboard.

A server comprising a processor configured with logic to implement operations comprising:

receiving, at a server and from a first client device, first viewport position coordinates identifying a first area in a digital whiteboard;
receiving, at the server and from a second client device, second viewport position coordinates identifying a second area in the digital whiteboard, the first area and the second area being at least partially non-overlapping areas in the digital whiteboard;
providing, to the first client device and during a whiteboarding session with both the first and second client devices, data representing content for an object having position coordinates within the first area, without providing, to the first client device, data representing portions of objects that (i) have position coordinates outside the first area and (ii) remain within the digital whiteboard;
and
providing, to the second client device and during the whiteboarding session, data representing content for an object having position coordinates within the second area, without providing, to the second client device, data representing portions of objects that (i) have position coordinates outside the second area and (ii) remain within the digital whiteboard.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having a program recorded thereon, the program, when executed by a server including a processor, causing the server to perform operations comprising:

receiving, at a server and from a first client device, first viewport position coordinates identifying a first area in a digital whiteboard;
receiving, at the server and from a second client device, second viewport position coordinates identifying a second area in the digital whiteboard, the first area and the second area being at least partially non-overlapping areas in the digital whiteboard;
providing, to the first client device and during a whiteboarding session with both the first and second client devices, data representing content for an object having position coordinates within the first area, without providing, to the first client device, data representing portions of objects that (i) have position coordinates outside the first area and (ii) remain within the digital whiteboard;
and
providing, to the second client device and during the whiteboarding session, data representing content for an object having position coordinates within the second area, without providing, to the second client device, data representing portions of objects that (i) have position coordinates outside the second area and (ii) remain within the digital whiteboard.

A method, comprising:

establishing, using a first client device and a second client device, a whiteboarding session between (i) a server storing data for a digital whiteboard and (ii) both the first client device and the second client device;
transmitting, from the first client device to the server, first viewport position coordinates identifying a first area in the digital whiteboard;
transmitting, from the second client device, second viewport position coordinates identifying a second area in the digital whiteboard, the first area and the second area being at least partially non-overlapping areas in the digital whiteboard;
receiving, by the first client device and during the whiteboarding session, data representing content for an object having position coordinates within the first area and configured for display on the first client device, without receiving any data representing portions of objects that (i) have position coordinates outside the first area and (ii) remain within the digital whiteboard;
receiving, by the second client device and during the whiteboarding session, data representing content for an object having position coordinates within the second area and configured for display on the second client device, without receiving any data representing portions of objects that (i) have position coordinates outside the second area and (ii) remain within the digital whiteboard;
and
displaying (i) the content for the object having position coordinates within the first area on a display of the first client device and (ii) the content for the object having position coordinates within the second area on a display of the second client device.
