Abstract

Broadcasting a presentation or sending files through the Internet to an unlimited number of recipients using a personal computer and peer-to-peer computing. An initiating computer contacts the members on a list, who in turn contact additional members from the list. The initial users screen image is captured and compressed into a file. The compressed file is then transferred to the users on the list using any electronic medium. Subsequent changes made to the initial user's screen are placed in a compressed file and sent to the users on the list. First file is viewed in conjunction with the files containing the changes, allowing the users on the list to view presentation.
