System for synchronization and management of system activities with locally installed applications

摘要

The present invention will enable the user to follow a presentation while waiting for presentation files to download to the user's local machine. This invention provides a dynamic cloud based approach to local hand-off. A user will be able to view a cloud or other remotely-based (found via a URL) or screen-shared version of the presentation until source material has downloaded.

主权项

1. A system for downloading presentation files from a system host provider at a remote system location to a local user computing machine and for synchronizing and managing of host provider activities at the remote system location that are related to the files downloaded to the local computing machine comprising:
a system host provider at a remote location, said host provider being accessible by a user and capable of accessing downloadable presentation files for viewing by the user at the system host provider; a plurality of local user computing machines for establishing communication with said hosting provider and enabling users to download and view files from said host provider, and said plurality of local user computing machines comprising a software module capable of opening the downloaded file of the presentation at the user's local computing machine; and simultaneously terminating access by the user to the presentation accessed at hosting provider containing files for viewing; a plurality of software presentation file management modules, one of each said plurality of presentation file management modules being located in each of said plurality of local user computing machines, said software modules capable of:
accessing system host provider downloadable presentation files for viewing by a user, by accessing the system host provider, then accessing a desired downloadable presentation file and then beginning viewing of the desired downloadable presentation file contained at the system host provider;determining whether a user viewing a presentation file contained at a system host provider desires to view the presentation files at a user local machine;when the determination is that the user desires to view the presentation file at the local user computing machine, initiating a file download process from the system host provider to the user local machine while continuing to view the presentation file at the system host provider;determining when a threshold percentage of the file download has occurred; when the determination is that the predetermined percentage of the presentation file download has occurred, synchronizing the downloaded presentation file at the local user machine with a current location of content of the presentation file being shown at the system host provider;
transferring user access from the presentation file being shown at the system host provider to access of the downloaded presentation file at the local user machine;opening the downloaded presentation file at the user local machine at a current location that matches a location of the presentation file being shown at the system host provider and terminating user access to the presentation file at the system host provider; andcontinuing the presentation file download process from the system host provider to the user local machine until completion of the download process.
