System, method and computer program product for establishing a conference session and synchronously rendering content during the same
First Claim
1. A system for establishing and effectuating a conference session, the system comprising a plurality of participants, the participants comprising:
- a source capable of operating in a fixed network environment; and
at least one destination capable of operating in a cellular network environment, wherein the participants are capable of establishing a conference session therebetween, wherein one of the participants is a host of the conference session and the other participants are members of the conference session, wherein the host is capable of sharing content with the members at least partially in real time by reformatting content rendered for a local display into a vectorized format, reformatting at least one update to the rendered content into a vectorized format, and transferring the reformatted content and the at least one reformatted update to the members, and wherein the members are capable of rendering the reformatted content and the at least one reformatted update in a manner at least partially in synch with the host rendering the respective content and the at least one update.

Abstract
A system for establishing and effectuating a conference session includes a plurality of participants. In turn, the participants include a source capable of operating in a fixed network environment, and at least one destination capable of operating in a cellular network environment. The participants are capable of establishing a conference session where one of the participants is a host and the other participants are members. During the conference session, then, the host is capable of sharing content with the members by reformatting content rendered for a local display into a vectorized format, and reformatting at least one update to the rendered content into a vectorized format. The host can transfer the reformatted content and reformatted update(s) to the members, which are then capable of rendering the respective reformatted content and reformatted update(s) in a manner at least partially in synch with the host rendering of the respective content and update(s).
