Abstract
An enhanced-productivity electronic meeting system environment integrates a multiplicity of meeting tools allowing a group of people to collaborate in a fluid and intuitive way, sharing ideas on a common workspace while preserving the privacy of individual notes and communications. In the preferred embodiment, participants interact through a set of tablet computers connected via a local-area wireless network to provide a superior alternative to handouts, presentations, whiteboards, and personal notepads, in a single, integrated system. The primary system components include a server application program interfaced to a document database and meeting controller application program, and a meeting clients program executing on the computer of each participant.
