  • Publication number: 20240048457
    Abstract: An electronic meeting tool and method for communicating arbitrary media content from users at a meeting includes a node configuration adapted to operate a display node of a communications network, the display node being coupled to a first display. The node configuration is adapted to receive user selected arbitrary media content and to control display of the user selected arbitrary media content on the first display. A peripheral device adapted to communicate the user selected arbitrary media content via the communications network is a connection unit including a connector adapted to couple to a port of a processing device having a second display, a memory and an operating system, and a transmitter. A program is adapted to obtain user selected arbitrary media content, the program leaving a zero footprint on termination. The user may trigger a transfer of the user selected arbitrary media content to the transmitter.

  • Patent number: 11422951
    Abstract: An electronic meeting tool for communicating arbitrary media content from at least a first user and a second user at a meeting. The method including operating a base unit of a wireless communications network, the base unit being adapted to receive user selected arbitrary media content from at least a first processing device from the first user and to send the user selected arbitrary media content to at least a second processing device. The method further includes connecting a peripheral device to a port of the first processing device and communicating the user selected arbitrary media content to the base unit of the wireless communications network; and sending the user selected arbitrary media content from the base unit to a second peripheral device connected to the second processing device of the second user.

  • Patent number: 11216392
    Abstract: An electronic meeting tool for communicating arbitrary media content multiple users at a meeting. The method including communicating first user selected arbitrary media content to a base unit of a wireless communications network, the first user selected arbitrary media content being scaled to fill an available central display canvas of a first display coupled to the base unit. The method also including connecting a third peripheral device to third port of a third processing device and communicating third user selected arbitrary media content to the base unit of the wireless communications network, and adding the third user selected arbitrary media content to the available central display canvas on a side of the displayed first user selected arbitrary media content to fill the available central display canvas without affecting an aspect ratio of the first user selected arbitrary media content and the third user selected arbitrary media content.
