Abstract
A system and method for digital collaboration where a primary node and at least one secondary node are provided connected over a local area network, at least one computing device having a display output, and a control service, where each node is connected to at least one dedicated display device, and each node having at least two image buffers each image buffer having buffered content. For each node, the selection of which buffer content of an image buffer is displayed onto the dedicated display depends on a state variable of the control service.

A system for digital collaboration comprising a primary node and at least one secondary node connected over a local area network, at least one computing device having a display output, and a control service, where each node is connected to at least one dedicated display device, and each node having at least two image buffers comprising at least a first and a second image buffer, the first image buffer having a first buffered content from a first processing device, the second image buffer having a second buffered content from a second processing device, wherein for each node, the selection of which buffered content of an image buffer is displayed onto the dedicated display depends on a state variable of the control service.
A method for digital collaboration comprising a primary node and at least one secondary node connected over a local area network, at least one computing device having a display output, and a control service, where each node is connected to at least one dedicated display device, and each node having at least two image buffers comprising at least a first and a second image buffer, the method comprising:
- for each node, the first image buffer receiving a first buffered content from a first processing device, the second image buffer receiving a second buffered content from a second processing device, and
- setting a state variable of the control service to a certain value, and depending of the state variable value, the control service instructing one of the node's at least one image buffer to send its buffered content to the dedicated display.
A computer program product adapted to work with a digital collaboration system comprising a primary node and at least one secondary node connected over a local area network, at least one computing device having a display output, and a control service, where each node is connected to at least one dedicated display device, and each node having at least two image buffers comprising at least a first and a second image buffer, the software being adapted to carry out the following functions when the software is loaded onto the respective device or devices and executed on one or more processing engines:
- the first image buffer being adapted to receive a first buffered content from a first processing device, the second image buffer being adapted to receive a second buffered content from a second processing device and
- for each node, setting a state variable of the control service to a certain value, and depending of the state variable value, the control service instructing one of the node's at least one image buffer to send its buffered content to the dedicated display.
