  • Publication number: 20200267195
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer readable memory devices for delivering a presentation are provided. In one example, a method includes establishing a wireless network access point that creates a closed wireless network. An encrypted communication session is established via the closed wireless network with a plurality of client computing devices. A virtual network server is run on the host computing device, and each of the client computing devices is communicatively coupled to the virtual network server. A subset of the plurality of client computing devices is selected, and audio/video data is streamed to only the subset of the client computing devices.

  • Patent number: 9787738
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer readable memory devices for delivering a presentation are provided. In one example, a method includes establishing a wireless network access point that creates a closed wireless network. An encrypted communication session is established via the closed wireless network with a plurality of client computing devices that each comprise a display. Each of the client computing devices is communicatively coupled to a virtual network server on the host computing device. A resource locator is sent to the client computing devices, with the resource locator including a network location of an audio/video file stored on the host computing device. A request is received for the resource locator from the client computing devices. In response, audio/video data is streamed from the audio/video file to the plurality of client computing devices.

  • Patent number: 9167040
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer readable memory devices for delivering a presentation are provided. In one example, a method includes communicatively coupling the host computing device to an external router, and establishing the closed wireless network using the router. An encrypted communication session is established via the closed wireless network with a plurality of client computing devices that each comprises a display. Each of the client computing devices is communicatively coupled to a virtual network server on the host computing device. Frame buffer data is retrieved from a storage subsystem of the host computing device. The frame buffer data is sent to each of the client computing devices to modify the display of each device.
