Abstract
Approaches presented herein enable aggregating a set of defined electronic devices to provide a synchronized presentation experience across the devices. Electronic devices for primary and secondary presenters are registered. Identifiers for the devices are defined to link them together and understand which device plays which function related to a presentation session. A synchronization configuration is created in terms of primary and secondary presenter roles. A synchronized presentation stream is generated for display with aggregated synchronization enabled based on the synchronization configuration.
Claims20
A method for generating a synchronized presentation session, the method comprising:
- registering a primary presenting electronic device and a secondary presenting electronic device;
- defining a first identifier and a first content portion related to the primary presenting electronic device;
- defining a second identifier and a second content portion related to the secondary presenting electronic device;
- defining, using the first and second identifiers and the first and second content portions, a synchronization configuration to identify a flow for the presentation session;
- and
- automatically generating, by aggregating the primary and secondary presenting electronic devices based on the synchronization configuration, a synchronized presentation stream for display.
A computer program product embodied in a computer readable medium that, when executed by a computer device, performs a method for generating a synchronized presentation session, the method comprising:
- registering a primary presenting electronic device and a secondary presenting electronic device;
- defining a first identifier and a first content portion related to the primary presenting electronic device;
- defining a second identifier and a second content portion related to the secondary presenting electronic device;
- defining, using the first and second identifiers and the first and second content portions, a synchronization configuration to identify a flow for the presentation session;
- and
- automatically generating, by aggregating the primary and secondary presenting electronic devices based on the synchronization configuration, a synchronized presentation stream for display.
A system for generating a synchronized presentation session, comprising:
- a memory medium comprising instructions;
- a bus coupled to the memory medium;
- and
- a processor coupled to the bus that when executing the instructions causes the system to perform a method, comprising:
- registering a primary presenting electronic device and a secondary presenting electronic device;
- defining a first identifier and a first content portion related to the primary presenting electronic device;
- defining a second identifier and a second content portion related to the secondary presenting electronic device;
- defining, using the first and second identifiers and the first and second content portions, a synchronization configuration to identify a flow for the presentation session;
- and
- automatically generating, by aggregating the primary and secondary presenting electronic devices based on the synchronization configuration, a synchronized presentation stream for display.
