ONLINE CONFERENCING SYSTEMS FOR SHARING DOCUMENTS

摘要

Online conferencing systems and methods are disclosed that provide for sharing of documents in a more efficient manner during an online conference. A document to be shared is transmitted to each of the participants of an online conference through a conference server (110). If one of the participants (106, 107) navigates through the document using an application (122, 123), then a client conferencing system (112, 113) installed on the device of the participant detects navigation instructions in the application and reports the navigation instructions to the conference server. The conference server then reports the navigation instructions to the other participants of the online conference. The corresponding application on the devices of the other participants receives the navigation instructions and operates according to the instructions to synchronize viewing of the document among the participants.
