Abstract
A method is described for manipulating a view displayed on one or more follower participants' devices to track a view displayed on a lead participant's device. A request to manipulate the view displayed on the one or more follower participant devices is received. The lead participant is identified. The follower participants are identified. A lead view of the lead participant is determined. The lead view is communicated to the follower participants computing devices for display. A computing device and a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions configured to implement the method are also described.
Claims23
A method for manipulating a view displayed on one or more follower participants' devices to track a view displayed on a lead participant's device, the method comprising:
- receiving a request to manipulate the view displayed on the one or more follower participant devices;
- identifying the lead participant;
- identifying the follower participants;
- determining a lead view of the lead participant;
- and
- communicating the lead view to the follower participants computing devices for display.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:
- receive a request to manipulate the view displayed on the one or more follower participant devices;
- identify the lead participant;
- identify the follower participants;
- determine a lead view of the lead participant;
- and
- communicate the lead view to the follower participants computing devices for display.
The non-transitory computer readable medium 12 of claim further comprising continuing to process input received from one or more of the follower participants within the lead view.
A computing device comprising:
- a communication interface for communicating with other computing devices;
- memory for storing instruction;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the instructions, which cause the computing device to:
- receive a request to manipulate the view displayed on the one or more follower participant devices;
- identify the lead participant;
- identify the follower participants;
- determine a lead view of the lead participant;
- and
- communicate the lead view to the follower participants computing devices for display.
