  • Patent number: 9146615
    Abstract: A method for updating the content of a live presentation can begin with an electronic presentation system establishing an electronic presentation session between a presenter and an audience. The presenter can control the presentation of digital content stored in a presentation source file within a user interface that facilitates the electronic presentation session. During the presentation, content changes for the digital content of the presentation source file can be received. The digital content of the presentation source file can be dynamically updated with the received content changes without interrupting the presentation of the digital content to the audience.

  • Patent number: 8909621
    Abstract: A computing system executes an instant message session between one or more users of the one or more collaborative tools. The computer system further examines information from instant messages in a message window of the instant message session. In addition, the computer system identifies keyword data of the examined information of the instant messages. The computer system queries a first repository for related content data that matches the keyword data. The computer system also generates one or more contextual search results based on the match. The computer system further transmits the generated one or more contextual search results for display on the one or more collaboration tools. The computer system further stores the keyword data and the contextual search results of the keyword data in a collaboration archive of a database, and automatically updates the contextual search results during instant message sessions.
