Problems solved by technology

In electronic meetings where participants are in remote locations, this can be difficult because it may not be obvious from the discussion which slide the presenter is on
[0005] In other words, since the presenter and participants are no longer strictly synchronized (as in the electronic whiteboard mechanism described above), performing such synchronization becomes difficult and error-prone

Embodiment Construction

[0022] The present invention provides a mechanism for synchronizing the display of presentation slides during an electronic conference while allowing individual participants to independently navigate through a series of presentation slides. Thus, the present invention can be applied to electronic conferences in which the presenter and each participant are adjacent to each other (eg, in the same room of a building). Furthermore, the present invention may be applied to electronic conferences between participants at remote locations, such as over the Internet or other networks where the participants may not be in close proximity to each other. Of course, electronic conferences in which a combination of nearby and remote location participants are involved may also take advantage of the mechanisms of the present invention.

[0023] figure 1 is an exemplary block diagram of a data processing system in which aspects of the invention may be implemented. Such as figure 1 As shown in...

Abstract

A system and method for synchronizing distributed data streams for automating real-time navigation through presentation slides in an electronic conference are provided. With the system and method, a participant in an electronic conference is permitted to navigate back and forth through a series of presentation slides while being able to automatically synchronize the participant's display to a current position within the series of presentation slides regardless of which slide the participant's computer is currently displaying. The present invention provides a background mechanism for monitoring the current live presentation by a presenter during an electronic conference while a participant navigates through a local copy of the presentation slides. Upon the selection of a synchronization option, the participant's display output of the presentation slides is synchronized with the current live presentation using the background mechanism.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to improved data processing systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to an improved data processing system for controlling navigational presentations during electronic conferences. Background technique [0002] With the development of computer applications, the way of conferencing between individuals has evolved from a situation where the computer application is simply used to prepare slides for printing and used with an overhead projector to one where the computer and the computer application itself is conducting a web conferencing / Current technologies that play an intimate role in electronic conferencing. Today, entire meetings are conducted by using computer applications to transmit data to participating computers in a local broadcast peer-to-peer fashion. Furthermore, today's computer technology has made it possible to conduct electronic meetings between individuals who are physically dist...
