Abstract
A system and method is provided for synchronizing computer data such that work can be conducted from a remote location. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a computer data synchronization system includes a database, a server, and a synch application adapted to communicate with a plurality of reception devices through the server. More particularly, the synch application is adapted to receive synchronization data from a controlling one of the plurality of reception devices such that a portion of original computer data can be provided to the plurality of reception devices, where the portion of original computer data is based upon a synchronized portion of the original computer data that is being displayed on the controlling one of the plurality of reception devices. If the controlling one of the plurality of reception devices scrolls to a new portion of original computer data, then the synch application responds accordingly by providing the plurality of reception devices with substantially the same new portion of original computer data. The synch application may further be adapted to receive and provide annotated data, translated annotated data, communication data, and pointer icon data to the plurality of reception devices.
