  • Patent number: 11729355
    Abstract: A method of collaborating between a first computer associated with a first display at a first location and a second computer associated with a second display at a second location may include establishing a connection between the first and second computers, opening a virtual canvas on the first computer, the virtual canvas to be displayed on the first and second displays simultaneously, and sending an object between the first and second computers by sending data associated with the object on the virtual canvas stored on the first computer to the second computer to be stored locally, thereby creating a shared canvas on which objects are at a single location. Video conferencing may include sending a first live video stream from the first display to the second display to be viewed in a first video conference window separate from the virtual canvas on the second display and vice versa.

  • Patent number: 11620323
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a complex computing network for obtaining and using data from a transmitting system and a digital tracking and relaying system. An exemplary method comprises: receiving, from a transmitting system, a first input data associated with a registered user account; receiving, from a digital tracking and relaying system, a second input data associated with the registered user account and captured by a sensor comprised in the digital tracking and relaying system, wherein the second input data is transmitted via an application programming interface (API) comprised in or associated with the digital tracking and relaying system, the second input data comprising usage data associated with the digital tracking and relaying system; and associating at least one of the first input data or the second input data with the registered user account, thereby causing an update to the registered user account.

  • Patent number: 10447744
    Abstract: In a computing environment having a multiple input detection system including a detector that detects and transmits multiple simultaneous user inputs from different users at a same time, a method for processing inputs from different users across multiple application windows of one or more applications displayed on a single display of a user interface, resulting in a multi-user graphical user interface (GUI), the computing environment running an operating system (OS) designed to run with a single user GUI, the method including determining, in a primary application, separate from the OS, that a first user input corresponds to a first window and a second user input corresponds to a second window, the primary application sending the first and second user inputs to first and second secondary applications that run in parallel with the primary application, the first and second secondary applications being designed to run with the OS.
