Abstract
A method, system and apparatus for a collaborative system, method and apparatus configured for optimal page sharing. The system of the invention can include a collaborative application disposed in a collaborative peer and configured for communicative coupling to other collaborative peers. The system can further include a compressor/decompressor disposed in the collaborative peer. The compressor/decompressor can include logic programmed to pre-process a shared page for the collaborative application by compressing the shared page before transmitting the shared page to the other collaborative peers.
Claims15
A collaborative system configured for optimal page sharing, the system comprising:
- a collaborative application disposed in a collaborative peer and configured to be communicatively coupled to other collaborative peers;
- and,
- a compressor/decompressor disposed in said collaborative peer, said compressor/decompressor having logic programmed to pre-process a shared page for said collaborative application by compressing said page before transmitting said shared page to said other collaborative peers.
A method for optimal image sharing in a collaborative environment, the method comprising the steps of:
- selecting a page in a shared application for transmission to a group of collaborative peers;
- and,
- prior to transmitting said selected page to said collaborative peers, compressing said selected page.
A method for optimal page sharing in a collaborative environment, the method comprising the steps of:
- performing an off-line determination of a likely order of presentation for pages in a presentation;
- while off-line, computing page-to-page differences based upon a delta compression scheme according to said determined likely order;
- establishing a communicative linkage with at least one peer in the collaborative environment;
- and,
- transmitting said page-to-page differences of said presentation to said at least one peer according to said determined likely order.
A machine readable storage having stored thereon a computer program for optimal page sharing in a collaborative environment, the computer program comprising a routine set of instructions which when executed by a machine causes the machine to perform the steps of:
- selecting a page in a shared application for transmission to a group of collaborative peers;
- and,
- prior to transmitting said selected page to said collaborative peers, compressing said selected page.
