Systems and methods for managing digital notes for collaboration

Abstract

A method for collaboration using notes among multiple users during a video conferencing session or other networked session. An image or video of individual physical notes are obtained via a user device such as a mobile phone with a digital camera. The physical notes are converted to corresponding digital notes displayed on the user device. A user identifies with the user device a location on a shared digital screen or board, and the location can be shown using an icon on the shared screen or board. The user can then electronically transfer with the user device one or more of the digital notes to the location on the shared screen or board. All of the users can thus privately create their own digital notes and transfer those notes to the shared screen or board for viewing and collaboration among the users during the session.
