METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPERATING A COLLABORATIVE NETWORK

摘要

A method and system for operating a collaborative network of participants attending an event/meeting presentation in person employs a web-based control server connected online with participants using their personal networked computer devices. The control server sends a question or prompt to and receives inputs from participants via the display screens of their personal networked computer devices, and calculates aggregated results of participant users' inputs for display on the event/meeting display screen, then sends a next question or prompt to the participants for a next activity step of the group activity. Real-time group interactivity of participants in the event/meeting presentation is enabled through mobility and convenience of participants using their networked personal computer devices such as smartphones for participating in the group activity.

1. A method of operating a collaborative network of participants attending an event/meeting presentation in person using networked computer devices connected via Internet, comprising:
operating a web-based control server connected online with a plurality of participant users attending the event/meeting presentation in person using personal networked computer devices to receive inputs from and to send information for display to the participant users on display screens of their personal networked computer devices, and to send information for display on an event/meeting display screen for the event/meeting presentation to the plurality of participant users attending the event/meeting in person, wherein operating the web-based control server includes: (1) sending a question or prompt to the participant users on display screens of their personal networked computer devices for participant users' inputs to a current activity step of the group activity; (2) receiving participant users' inputs via their personal networked computer devices to a current activity step of the group activity; (3) calculating aggregated results of participant users' inputs to the current activity step of the group activity; (4) sending the aggregated results of participant users' inputs to the current activity step of the group activity for display on the event/meeting display screen to the plurality of participant users; and (5) sending a question or prompt to the participant users on display screens of their personal networked computer devices for participant users' inputs to a next activity step of the group activity, whereby real-time group interactivity of participants in the event/meeting presentation for the group activity is enabled through mobility and convenience of participant users using their networked personal computer devices.
