Interactive communication systems
First Claim
1. A device enabling a non-interactive presentation surface to be used in an interactive communication system, the device comprising:
- a sensor system adapted to sense an instrument in proximity to the non-interactive presentation surface, the sensor system providing location data of the instrument to a tracking system calibrating a processing device with the instrument via the location data, wherein the device is positioned in proximity to a bottom edge of the non-interactive presentation surface.

Abstract
The present invention includes interactive communication systems that incorporate several beneficial embodiments including an interactive tray system, an electronic presentation messaging system, an interactive podium, and a key drive system. The interactive tray system enables a single, transferable interactive unit to be fastened to a communication medium, turning into a fully interactive medium. The electronic presentation messaging system enables the e-mailing of presentations and notes to and from components of the interactive communication system. The interactive podium increases conventional podium mobility, enabling both the presenter, and podium, to move and be moved about the room without attention to wired connections. The key drive system replaces the conventional Y-connector of the key drive technology by effectively integrating the key drive in the device, thus only having one connector, and eliminating the need to change connectors from the key drive, to the USB connector, upon software driver loading.
