Annotation Management System
First Claim
1. A graphical user interface (GUI) enabled to provide real-time annotation of display data rendered on a display screen, the display data associated with a videoconference session, comprising:
- a media display region corresponding to a media signal, the media display region capable of being annotated by a videoconference participant, wherein the annotation of the media display region generates an event for storage on an annotation management server, the annotation of the media display region further generating a signal presented to remaining videoconference participants in real-time;
a control display region enabling a participant to define control properties associated with the media display region; and
wherein the control display region includes an icon for controlling a virtual pointer setting.

Abstract
An annotation management system for providing real-time annotations for media content during a videoconference session is provided. The annotation management system includes a media management server configured to manage media data and annotation data for distribution to participants of the videoconference session. A storage server in communication with the media management server is configured to store the media data and the annotation data. An event database in communication with the media management server is configured to capture events associated with the annotation data. A media analysis server is in communication with the media management server, the event database, and the storage server. The media analysis server is configured to associate the stored annotation data with the captured events to enable reconstruction of the videoconference session based on the captured events. A videoconference system, a computer readable medium, a graphical user interface, and a method are also included.

4. A graphical user interface (GUI) enabled to provide real-time annotation of display data rendered on a display screen, the display data associated with a videoconference session, comprising:
-
a first display region for media display corresponding to a media signal, the first region capable of being annotated by a videoconference participant, wherein the annotation of the first region generates an event for storage on an annotation management server, the annotation of the first region further generating a signal presented to remaining videoconference participants in real-time;
a second display region for control display enabling a participant to define annotation controls within the first region; and
a third display region being configurable for additional media display. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8)
