Systems and methodologies providing collaboration among a plurality of computing appliances, utilizing a plurality of areas of memory to store user input as associated with an associated computing appliance providing the input

Abstract

A system provides for collaboration among a plurality of users, each user at one of a plurality of computing appliances. Each computing appliance comprised of a display apparatus providing a display presentation. The system is comprised of a memory providing storage structured as a plurality of areas of memory, each associated with one said computing appliance; a source of user data having an associated image, provided responsive to user input at said computing appliance that is associated with said user providing the user input, and display logic generating comprising a combined display presentation as the display presentation provided on the display apparatus of at least one said computing appliance. The memory provides storage of the user data in the area of memory that is associated with said computing appliance that is associated with said user providing the user input. The combined display presentation is generated responsive to at least some of the user data stored in a selected plurality of areas of memory associated with at least two of the computing appliances. The source of user data is provided via at least one of a physical keyboard, virtual keyboard, a touch screen, mouse gestures, camera gesture recognition, voice recognition, scanning an item, from a social network, from selected threads of messaging, in a data file selected by the user input; a link to the user data; an associative mapping to the user data contained in a data file; import from a file, and network data transfer.
