A system is described herein. The system includes an agent and a transmitter. The agent is to a capture room specific data signals from peripheral devices within a conference room, operating system data signals, and application data signals, wherein the application data signals are obtained from a conferencing service application and wherein the agent is to package the room specific data signals, the operating system data signals, and the application data signals with system metadata into room health data. The transmitter is to transmit the room health data to a management cloud via a communications broker.

A method of storing data from a whiteboard application executed on a computing system including an interactive display device is provided. The method comprises storing, in a memory of the computing system, whiteboard data input to the whiteboard application in response to user interaction with the interactive display device, displaying a login selector on the interactive display device, upon detecting actuation of the login selector, identifying the user based on credentials of the user; and in response to identifying the user, (i) retrieving previews of stored whiteboard files from a user account in a cloud-based storage system corresponding to the identity of the user, (ii) displaying the previews on the interactive display device, and (iii) uploading the whiteboard data as a whiteboard file from the memory of the computing system to the user account.

When a multi-page document is embedded in a notebook system, a preview object is generated for pages of the embedded document. The preview objects are displayed in the notebook, and when a user modifies the document underlying the preview objects, to change a relationship between the preview objects, the preview objects are synchronized with the underlying document to reflect those modifications.

Updating document previews of embedded files

To employ presence-based history information in conjunction with a notebook application, presence information for one or more users associated with a notebook application is determined from a variety of presence services. One or more interactions of the users are tracked in conjunction with a location within the notebook to record history information associated with the one or more users. The history information may be presented to the users through a user interface in conjunction with a location within the notebook application or through a separate user interface. The presented history information may include the recorded history information and statistical information based on the recorded history information. The users may interact with the user interface to employ the presented presence-based history information in conjunction with contents of the notebook application. For example, replay of user interactions in conjunction with a location within the notebook application may be enabled.

Employment of presence-based history information in notebook application

Methods are disclosed for, within a note-taking application, selectively synchronizing different notebook components with a centralized server. In one particular embodiment, different notebook components are assigned different synchronization rates based on usage characteristics. The different notebook components are synchronized more or less frequently relative to each other based on the assigned synchronization rates.

Usage based synchronization of note-taking application features

To employ presence information in conjunction with a notebook application, presence information is determined for one or more users associated with a notebook application. The presence information may be obtained from a variety of sources, such as a communication application, a social or professional network, and a presence module of the notebook application. Once determined, the presence information is presented to the users through a user interface in conjunction with a location within the notebook application or through a separate user interface. The notebook application may further track the presence information for the users interacting with the notebook application. The users may then be enabled to interact with the user interface to use the presented presence information in conjunction with content maintained by the notebook application.

Employing presence information in notebook application

A container document can include a file node indicating a file and pointing to a location for the file that is separate from the container document on a server. An embedded relationship between the file and the container document can be imitated. The imitation can include responding to user input by performing the update on the file node, and by requesting that the server perform an update on the file that reflects the update performed on the file node. A request for an update to be performed on the file node can be received from a client at the server. In response to the request, the update can be performed on the file node at the server. A corresponding update, which reflects the update performed on the file node, can also be performed on the file at the server.
