Abstract
A resource sharing method for sharing user interfaces and multimedia files uses a video conferencing system which includes at least one computer, a local video terminal, a multipoint control unit (MCU), and at least one remote video terminal. The resource method includes steps where the at least one computer analyzes the format of the multimedia files and determines whether or not the local video terminal can support the format(s) of the multimedia files. The at least one computer may transmit the multimedia file(s) to the local video terminal and a multipoint control unit (MCU) and to the at least one remote video terminal through the MCU.
Claims20
A resource sharing method for sharing multimedia files of at least one computer between a local video terminal and at least one remote video terminal, the local video terminal in electronic communication with the at least one remote video terminal through a multipoint control unit (MCU) and a communication network, the resource sharing method comprising steps of:
- analyzing format of each of the multimedia files by a processor of the at least one computer;
- determining whether or not the local video terminal identifies and supports the format of each of the multimedia files by the processor of the at least one computer;
- and
- transmitting the multimedia files to the local video terminal and the MCU and to the at least one remote video terminal through the MCU by the at least one computer.
A resource sharing method for sharing user interface and multimedia files of at least one computer between a local video terminal and at least one remote video terminal, the local video terminal in electronic communication with the at least one remote video terminal via a multipoint control unit (MCU) and a communication network, the resource sharing method comprising steps of:
- logging into at least one computer based on remote frame buffer protocol to send Internet protocol (IP) address of the at least one computer to the MCU through the local video terminal;
- displaying the user interface of the at least one computer by the a display module of the local video terminal;
- analyzing format of each of the multimedia files by a processor of the at least one computer;
- transmitting the multimedia files to the local video terminal and the MCU by the at least one computer;
- invoking videoconferencing connections to enable the at least one remote video terminal to join in the conference by the MCU;
- and
- sharing the user interface and the multimedia files with the local video terminal by at least one remote video terminal.
