Abstract

A digital whiteboard system for enabling a user thereof to write at a preferred position includes a digital whiteboard configured to cooperate with a computer, said digital whiteboard, in operation, being divided into a plurality of virtual panels; wherein the digital whiteboard locates tools and menu bar; wherein the digital whiteboard is configured to allow a user to move a virtual panel upwards or downwards by dragging a continuous scroll bar; and wherein the virtual panel moves in the same direction as the direction in which the scroll bar is dragged.

Claims

1. A digital whiteboard system for enabling a user thereof to write at a preferred position, said system comprising:

a digital whiteboard configured to cooperate with a computer, said digital whiteboard, in operation, being divided into a plurality of virtual panels;

wherein the digital whiteboard locates tools and menu bar;

wherein the digital whiteboard is configured to allow a user to move a virtual panel upwards or downwards by dragging a continuous scroll bar; and

wherein the virtual panel moves in the same direction as the direction in which the scroll bar is dragged.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the scroll bar divides the virtual panel in rectangles.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the scroll bar moves the virtual panel laterally.

4. The system of claim 1, further comprising a mouse that switches between operating as an absolute pointer position and operating as a relative pointer position similar.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the digital whiteboard is configured to display a window on which is a copy of a display from the computer.
