Abstract
A method, a system and devices for data sharing by teleconferencing with local projection of the same shared data in a local meeting room. A method, a system and devices for synchronizing display of content in a local room and remote sharing of the same content as well. A method, a system and devices for providing access to shared multimedia content within a defined room environment as well as with a remote user.
Claims20
A method for synchronizing local and remote display of the same display content using a processing device, the method comprising:
- searching for presence on the processing device of an application with remote sharing capabilities, and/or
- determining whether the same or another application with remote sharing capabilities is active on the processing device,
- determining a sharing state of the application with remote sharing capabilities,
- determining whether the application with remote sharing capabilities is sharing content with a local display screen or a remote participant;
- and
- the method further comprising a step selected from
- a) in the event that it is determined that content is being shared with the local display screen but there is no content shared with the remote participant or what is shared with the remote participant is different from what is shared locally, the method further comprising notifying a warning to the local user that content is being shared locally but not remotely or that different content is being shared;
- or from
- b) in the event that sharing content locally is detected, but sharing remotely is not detected, or what is shared with the remote participant is detected as different from what is shared locally, the method further comprising the step of the application with remote sharing capabilities sharing the same content remotely as is shared locally;
- or from
- c) in the event that content is being shared remotely, determining whether the same content which is being transferred to the remote participant is also being shared with the local display screen, the method further comprising a step selected from
- c1) in the event that the content which is being transferred to a remote participant and shared is not also being shared with the local display screen, sharing the same content with the local display screen as is shared remotely, or from
- c2) in the event that the content which is currently shared remotely is not shared locally, sharing the remotely shared content also locally with the local display screen by means of an application, or from
- c3) in the event that the content which is being transferred to the remote participant and shared is different from the content being shared with the local display screen, sharing the same content by means of an application with the local display screen as is shared remotely.

A system for synchronizing local and remote display of the same display content using a processing device, the system comprising:
- means for searching for presence on the processing device of an application with remote sharing capabilities, and/or
- first means for determining whether an application with remote sharing capabilities is active on the processing device,
- second means for determining a sharing state of the application with remote sharing capabilities,
- third means for determining whether the application with remote sharing capabilities is sharing content with a remote participant or local display screen, and the system is configured to provide:
- a) in the event that it is determined that content is shared with the local display screen but there is no content shared with the remote participant or what is shared with the remote participant is different from what is shared locally, means to provide a warning to a local user that content is being shared locally but not remotely or that different content is being shared;
- or
- b) in the event that content is being shared remotely, means to determine whether the same content which is being transferred to a remote participant is also being shared by a local sharing application to a local display screen, and the system is further configured to provide:
- b1) in the event that the content which is being transferred to a remote participant and shared, is not also being shared with the local display screen, means for sharing the same content to the local display screen as is shared remotely, or
- b2) in the event that the content which is being transferred to a remote participant and shared is different from the content being shared with the local display screen, means for sharing the same content to the local display screen as is shared remotely, and wherein the processing device is optionally adapted to trigger the application with remote sharing capabilities to share the same content remotely as is shared locally.
