Abstract
A method of conducting a collaborative event, comprising receives input from at least one participant computing device joined to the collaborative event, categorizing the input according to two or more categories defined within the collaborative event, and displaying the input according to the two or more categories.
Claims31
A method of conducting a collaborative event, comprising:
- receiving input from at least one participant computing device joined to the collaborative event;
- categorizing the input according to two or more categories defined within the collaborative event;
- and
- displaying the input according to said two or more categories.
An interactive board configured to communicate with processing structure during a collaborative event, said interactive board further being configured, during said collaborative event, to display input received from at least one participant computing device joined to the collaborative event, the input being categorized according to two or more categories defined within the collaborative event and being displayed according to said two or more categories.
A collaboration system comprising:
- one or more processing devices that communicate during a collaborative event;
- at least one participant computing device in communication with the one or more processing devices, wherein at least one of the processing devices is configured to categorize input received from the at least one participant computing device during the collaborative event according to two or more defined categories;
- and
- at least one interactive board in communication with the one or more processing devices, said interactive board being configured, during said collaborative event, to display the input according to said two or more categories.
A method of configuring a collaborative event comprising:
- recognizing text within at least a first portion of digital ink entered on an interactive surface;
- and
- using recognized text to define two or more categories of said collaborative event.
An interactive board comprising an interactive surface, the interactive board being configured to communicate with processing structure conducting a collaborative event, the interactive board further being configured, during said collaborative event, to recognize text within a first portion of digital ink input on said interactive board and use the recognized text to define two or more categories of said collaborative event.
