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.

A method is described for dynamically determining session boundary coordinates within a canvas. As described, an initial explored area of the canvas is defined. The initial explored area is expanded. When the size of the expanded explored area of the canvas reaches a predefined maximum size, the explored area coordinates are set as the session boundary coordinates. A computing device and a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions configured to implement the method are also described.

Dynamically determining workspace bounds during a collaboration session

A computer implement method for creating a user group is provided. In accordance with the method, a temporary session identifier is generated for a first session associated with the user group. The temporary session identifier is communicated to a display for presentation. Requests to join the first session are received from a plurality of users. The requests include the temporary session identifier. User identifiers of the plurality of users are correlated with the temporary session identifier. The user group is created, comprising the user identifiers of the plurality of users and a name for said user group. The user group is stored in memory. A computing device and a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to implement the method are also described.

Defining a user group during an initial session

An interactive input system comprises an interactive surface; at least one proximity sensor in proximity with the interactive surface and generating output signifying user proximity to the interactive surface; and processing structure configured to process user input generated in response to user interaction with said interaction input system and output from the at least one proximity sensor, said processing structure controlling interactive input system operation based upon at least one of said user input and proximity sensor output.

Interactive input system and method

A method comprises receiving an input event associated with a first user ID, the input event being a command for selecting at least one graphic object; determining if a selection is currently associated with the first user ID; and if no selection is currently associated with the first user ID creating a first selection; associating the first selection with the first user ID; and including the selected at least one graphic object in the first selection.

Method of supporting multiple selections and interactive input system employing same

An interactive input system, method and computer readable medium for handling objects representing annotations on an interactive input system are disclosed. The method includes creating an annotation on the interactive input system, associating the annotation with a temporary grouping region, and in the event that a threshold amount of time passes before a further annotation is created within a threshold distance of the temporary grouping region, disabling the temporary grouping region to thereafter prevent automatic grouping with the annotation of any further annotation.

Method for handling objects representing annotations on an interactive input system and interactive input system executing the method

A method for selecting a graphic widget displayed on a background of an interactive input system comprises tracking one or more touch points associated with the background, and in the event that one or more touch points coincide with a location of the graphic widget, associating the coinciding touch points with the graphic widget.

Method for selecting and manipulating a graphical object in an interactive input system, and interactive input system executing the method

A method for creating a second mathematical object based on a first mathematical object in a computing apparatus having a graphical user interface includes selecting a first mathematical object in response to an instruction received from a user; creating a second mathematical object using data of said first mathematical object; linking said first mathematical object to said second mathematical object; and creating a visual link between said first mathematical object and said second mathematical object.

Linking and managing mathematical objects

A method for relating at least two mathematical objects in a computing apparatus having a graphical user interface is described. The method comprises receiving instructions via the graphical user interface to relate a first mathematical object with a second mathematical object; updating the second mathematical object using data of the first mathematical object; linking the first mathematical object to the second mathematical object; and creating a visual link between the first mathematical object and the second mathematical object.
