Abstract
Some embodiments provide a system for synchronizing participant copies of presentation data during a collaboration session. A presenter/server controlling the session sends synchronization commands when a change in state of the presentation data occurs. The synchronization commands can be received by a mobile communication device and then forwarded to the participant computer system where it is used to synchronize the copy of the presentation data with the presenter/server.
Claims74
A system for a collaboration session, said session involving presentation data changing state at a presenter/server, said session involving a plurality of participants, said system comprising:
- a mobile communication device associated with each of some of said participants, said mobile communication device configured to receive synchronization commands, said synchronization commands representative of a change in state of said presentation data at said presenter/sever;
- and
- a synchronization destination configured to receive synchronization commands from said mobile communication device, said synchronization destination having a local copy of said presentation data, wherein said synchronization commands enable synchronization of the local copy of said presentation data with the presentation data at said presenter/server.
A system for a collaboration session, said session involving presentation data changing state at a presenter/server, said session involving a plurality of participants, said system comprising:
- a mobile communication capability associated with each of some of said participants, said mobile communication device configured to receive synchronization commands, said synchronization commands representative of a change in state of said presentation data at said presenter/sever;
- and
- a computing capability integrated with said mobile communication capability into a synchronization destination, said computing capability configured to receive synchronization commands from said mobile communication capability, said synchronization destination having a local copy of said presentation data, wherein said synchronization commands enable synchronization of the local copy of said presentation data with the presentation data at said presenter/server.
A method during a collaboration session for synchronizing copies of a presentation data, said presentation data changing state at a presenter/server of said collaboration session, said copies locally available at synchronization destinations belonging to participants of said collaboration session, the method comprising:
- receiving at said synchronization destination a plurality of synchronization commands, said synchronization commands representing a change of state in said presentation data at said presenter/server;
- and
- utilizing said synchronization commands, synchronizing the state of said copies of said presentation data to match that of the presentation data at the presenter/server.
An apparatus for synchronizing copies of a presentation data, said presentation data changing state at a presenter/server managing a collaboration session, said copies locally available at synchronization destinations belonging to participants of said collaboration session, said apparatus comprising a computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon which when executed cause:
- receiving from said presenter/server a plurality of synchronization commands at said synchronization destinations, said synchronization commands representing a change of state in said presentation data at said presenter/server;
- and
- utilizing said synchronization commands, synchronizing the state of said copies of said presentation data to match that of the presentation data at the presenter/server.
