Patent Images
1. A method of providing a collaborative conferencing capability to a remotely accessed application, comprising:
- providing a tiered remote access framework comprising an application tier, a server tier and a client tier, the tiered remote access framework communicating first information regarding the remotely-accessed application between client computing devices accessing the remotely-accessed application within a state model that is used to display the remotely-accessed application at the client computing devices;
providing a server remote access application in the server tier, the server remote application being capable of modifying the state model;
providing a client remote access application in either the client tier or the application tier;
providing a client media sharing application in the client tier, the client media sharing application allowing at least one of the client computing devices to share media accessible by the at least one of the client computing devices;
providing a conferencing manager application to the server tier, the conferencing manager application receiving the shared media; and
modifying the state model to further include the shared media such that the shared media is provided in at least one of the client computing devices.

Abstract
Systems and method for providing a collaborative conferencing capability to an application remotely-accessed by client computing devices. A client media sharing application is provided in a client tier, and the client media sharing application allows at least one of the client computing devices to share media with the client computing devices. A conferencing manager application that receives the shared media is provided to the server tier. The conferencing manager application makes the shared media available to the client computing devices.

15. A tangible computer readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon for providing a collaborative conferencing capability to a remotely accessed application in a tiered remote access framework comprising an application tier, a server tier and a client tier, the tiered remote access framework being configured to communicate first information regarding the remotely-accessed application between client computing devices accessing the remotely-accessed application within a state model that is used to display the remotely-accessed application at the client computing devices, that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:
-
provide a server remote access application in the server tier, the server remote application being capable of modifying the state model; provide a conferencing manager application to the server tier, the conferencing manager application being capable of receiving shared media that is accessible to at least one of the client computing devices from a client media sharing application; and modify the state model to further include the shared media such that the shared media is provided in at least one of the client computing devices. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
