Abstract
In an electronic interaction space, transitioning between a first and second screen layout includes determining a difference between the first and second screen layouts, wherein the first and second screen layouts include at least one pod each, and rendering the difference as a dynamic and intermediate screen layout that uses a representation of physical motion to present a gradual change.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- displaying, at a client computer, a first screen layout, the client computer in communication with a server computer creating a web-based meeting space;
- receiving a description of a second screen layout from the server computer;
- determining, at the client computer, a difference between the first screen layout and the second screen layout by comparing the first screen layout to the description of the second screen layout received from the server computer, wherein the first and second screen layouts include at least one pod each;
- and
- rendering, at the client computer, the difference as a dynamic and intermediate screen layout that uses a representation of physical motion to present a gradual change.
2 more elements
A computing system comprising:
- a processor;
- a display;
- and
- a memory,
- wherein the memory embodies one or more program components that configure the computing system to:
- communicate with a server computer creating an online meeting space;
- render, using the display, a first screen layout depicting the online meeting space;
- receive a description of a second screen layout from the server computer;
- determine a difference between the first screen layout and the second screen layout by comparing the first screen layout to the description of the second screen layout received from the server computer;
- and
- render the difference as a dynamic and intermediate screen layout that uses a representation of physical motion to present a gradual change.
8 more elements
A computing system comprising:
- a processor;
- a display;
- and
- a memory,
- wherein the memory embodies one or more program components that configure the computing system to:
- provide an electronic meeting space, wherein the electronic meeting space includes a first screen layout of one or more visual pods rendered using the display;
- receive instructions from a host indicating how to change the first screen layout, the instructions including a second screen layout and a difference between the first screen layout and the second screen layout determined by comparing the first screen layout to the second screen layout;
- and
- modify the first screen layout based on the instructions and based upon a computational intensity required for said modification,
- wherein modifying the first screen layout comprises providing sensory motion context using the display while rendering a live or recorded on-line meeting presented within the electronic meeting space.
