INCORPORATING EXTERNAL DYNAMIC CONTENT INTO A WHITEBOARD

摘要

Dynamic content may be included on a digital whiteboard canvas. The dynamic content includes external content that changes. For example, web pages, images from an external source, presentations, shared displays, newsfeeds, and the like may be placed on the whiteboard. The user may interact with the dynamic content in either a live mode or an annotation mode. An annotation mode allows a user to annotate the dynamic content. For example, a user may ink on top of dynamic content. If a size of a dynamic content object changes, a size of the inking may also change. Different viewing modes are used to interact with the dynamic content on the whiteboard. A live mode allows a user to interact with the dynamic content and an annotation mode allows a user to annotate the dynamic content. A “snapshot” of the dynamic content may be created and stored with the whiteboard.

1. A method for incorporating dynamic content onto a whiteboard, comprising:
displaying a whiteboard that is shareable and is configured to display different types of content; including dynamic content on the whiteboard; determining a current mode of the dynamic content from modes comprising: a live mode where the dynamic content is dynamically updated and an annotated mode where the dynamic content is frozen until changed back to the live mode; receiving an interaction with the whiteboard; and updating the whiteboard in response to the interaction.
