US 9,519,414 B2 · Smart whiteboard interactions

Abstract

Technologies are generally described for providing whiteboard records accessibility to users interacting with a whiteboard. A whiteboard may enable two or more users to interact with the whiteboard concurrently. The whiteboard may identify the users interacting with the whiteboard and may identify permission settings associated with the users. Based on the identification of the users and detected permission settings, the whiteboard may activate a whiteboard records accessibility mode to provide access to whiteboard records. In a public mode, any user may interact with the whiteboard, and the whiteboard may provide access to a public records data store. In a private mode, the whiteboard may provide access to a separate private records data store associated with an authenticated user interacting with the whiteboard. When two users interact with the whiteboard concurrently, the whiteboard may separate the whiteboard records such that each user can access records corresponding to the detected permission settings.

Dependent claims

A method executed at least in part in a computing device for enabling smart whiteboard interactions, the method comprising:

detecting a first action associated with panning an initial canvas displayed on the whiteboard;
panning the initial canvas in a direction indicated by the first action resulting in display of a new canvas being displayed on the whiteboard;
maintaining one or more dimensions and an orientation of the initial canvas within the new canvas;
detecting a second action associated with selection of one of a region and an object on the new canvas;
selecting one of the region and the object indicated by the second action;
detecting insertion of content into the object displayed on the new canvas;
and
in response to detecting the inserted content exceeding one or more boundaries of the object, automatically expanding the one or more boundaries of the object.

A computing device for enabling smart whiteboard interactions, the computing device comprising:

a memory storing instructions;
a processor coupled to the memory, the processor executing a whiteboard application, wherein the whiteboard application is configured to:
detect a first action associated with panning an initial canvas displayed on the whiteboard;
pan the initial canvas in a direction indicated by the first action resulting in display of a new canvas being displayed on the whiteboard;
maintain one or more dimensions and an orientation of the initial canvas within the new canvas;
detect a second action associated with selection of one of a region and an object on the new canvas;
select one of the region and the object indicated by the second action;
detecting insertion of content into the object displayed on the new canvas;
and
in response to detecting the inserted content exceeding one or more boundaries of the object, automatically expanding the one or more boundaries of the object.
