    Patent number: 6421706
    Abstract: A method and system for presenting in real-time a conference data set having document data, video data, and audio data, to a remote computing system of a remotely located conference participant. The system receives configuration data for the remote computing system and uses the received configuration data to select a conference data set format suitable for transmission to the remote computing system. The system encodes the conference data set in the selected conference data set format and selects an appropriate transmission web page for the encoded conference data set using the received configuration data. The system then transmits the encoded conference data set from the selected transmission web page over a public network to the remote computing system, wherein the remotely located conference participant accesses the encoded conference data set using a web browser.
