发明名称 Role-based display of document renditions for web conferencing
摘要 A method and system for providing role-based renditions of a shared document during a Web conference, in which different renditions of the shared document are provided to different Web conference participants based on the participants' roles in the conference. A participant with sufficient privileges, such as a presenter, is allowed to associate different participant roles with corresponding renditions through a user interface. The disclosed system further operates to dynamically adjust to the changing roles of participants during a Web conference, such that the rendition provided to any given user is changed in response to that user's role changing during the Web conference. The role of a Web conference participant may be based on any specific information obtained regarding that participant, such as information in a user profile in a user database, or other user information. The disclosed system further operates to provide shared document renditions that are specific to individual user attributes, such as user accessibility settings. A user interface provided to the presenter or other privileged participant allows that participant to indicate which participant roles are to be provided which renditions, e.g. which participant roles will be provided with renditions including additional metadata. Such metadata may, for example, include speaker notes, rendered on the presenter's screen, but not on the attendees screens.

主权项 1. A method embodied in a computer system for providing role-based renditions of a shared document during a Web conference, comprising: associating roles with participants of said Web conference; providing a rendition selection user interface at the beginning of said Web conference and during said Web conference to a participant of said Web conference having a presenter role and who controls said shared document during said Web conference, wherein said rendition selection user interface enables associations to be made between said roles and renditions of said shared document, wherein said shared document is shared with all participants of said Web conference during said Web conference; providing different renditions of said shared document to different participants of said Web conference based on said roles associated with said participants of said Web conference, and further based on said associations between said roles and said renditions of said shared document; and selectively sending metadata from said shared document to different ones of said participants of said Web conference during said Web conference responsive to said roles associated with each of said participants.
