  • Patent number: 10073963
    Abstract: A method of storing data from a whiteboard application executed on a computing system including an interactive display device is provided. The method comprises storing, in a memory of the computing system, whiteboard data input to the whiteboard application in response to user interaction with the interactive display device, displaying a login selector on the interactive display device, upon detecting actuation of the login selector, identifying the user based on credentials of the user; and in response to identifying the user, (i) retrieving previews of stored whiteboard files from a user account in a cloud-based storage system corresponding to the identity of the user, (ii) displaying the previews on the interactive display device, and (iii) uploading the whiteboard data as a whiteboard file from the memory of the computing system to the user account.

  • Patent number: 9449303
    Abstract: A notebook component within a note-taking application is utilized as a centralized mechanism for recording notations and providing documentation related to a particular meeting. The meeting participants are provided with centralized access to the notebook component and thus are able to update the notebook record of the meeting collaboratively and in real time. In addition to user-driven updates, updates may also be generated on an automatic or semi-automatic basis. Updates may be made before, during or after the actual meeting. Updates may originate from an application data source outside of the note-taking application itself.

  • Publication number: 20150331604
    Abstract: Systems and methods of presenting stored files in a whiteboard application executed on an interactive display are disclosed herein. One method may include executing the whiteboard application, and storing whiteboard input for an interaction session as a whiteboard file in memory of the interactive display device. The method may include receiving a request to browse stored whiteboard files, generating respective previews of the stored whiteboard files, and displaying the previews in an arrangement in a graphical user interface of the interactive display. The method may include receiving a selection input selecting a file of the stored whiteboard files via the interactive display, retrieving the selected file from the memory, and displaying the selected file on the interactive display. Finally, the method may include detecting that a second file has not been retrieved within a preset amount of time and deleting the second file from the memory.

  • Publication number: 20110313803
    Abstract: Providing access to task lists via social communications systems is provided. A user may expose a list authoring surface and associated task lists to other users via one or more social communications systems. When another user attempts to access contents of the list authoring surface, the user attempting access may be required to provide permissions credentials, or the attempting user's social communications account may be designated as a permissioned account from which access to the contents of the list authoring surface may be obtained. Version control management may be applied to the accessed task lists to ensure accessing users receive access to most up-to-date versions of accessed task lists. Once an accessing user obtains access to a given task list, the accessing user may comment on accessed tasks, make changes to accessed tasks and/or collaborate on accessed tasks.
