AUTOMATIC DETECTION AND MAGNIFICATION OF FOCUS REGION FOR CONTENT SHARED DURING AN ONLINE MEETING SESSION
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- in an online meeting including a plurality of computing devices, wherein one of the computing devices is designated as a presenter, providing shared content from the presenter to at least one other computing device engaged in the online meeting;
detecting whether a display icon located within an entire area of the shared content and controlled via an icon navigation device at the presenter has moved from a first position to at least one moved position;
in response to a detection that the display icon has moved to the at least one moved position, determining a focus region of the shared content that corresponds with movements of the display icon, wherein the focus region comprises a defined smaller area of the shared content in relation to the entire area and encompasses the at least one moved position; and
providing an indication to automatically modify the shared content so as to magnify a view of the focus region at one or more computing devices engaged in the online meeting.

Abstract
Techniques are described herein for a plurality of computing devices engaged in an online meeting, where one of the computing devices is designated as a presenter and shared content is provided from the presenter engaged in the online meeting. A detection is made regarding whether a display icon located for the shared content and controlled via an icon navigation device at the presenter has moved. In response to a detection that the display icon has moved, a focus region is determined that corresponds with movements of the display icon, where the focus region includes a defined smaller area of the shared content in relation to the entire area. An indication is provided to automatically modify the shared content so as to magnify a view of the focus region at one or more computing devices engaged in the online meeting.

8. An apparatus comprising:
-
a memory configured to store instructions including one or more applications that support online meetings with other computing devices over a network; an icon navigation device to control movements of a display icon within one or more applications displayed by the apparatus; a network interface unit configured to enable communications over a network; and a processor configured to execute and control operations of the one or more applications so as to; when the apparatus is designated at a presenter of an online meeting, provide shared content from the apparatus to at least one other computing device engaged in the online meeting; detect whether the display icon located within an entire area of the shared content and controlled via the icon navigation device at the apparatus has moved from a first position to at least one moved position; in response to a detection that the display icon has moved to the at least one moved position, determine a focus region of the shared content that corresponds with movements of the display icon, wherein the focus region comprises a defined smaller area of the shared content in relation to the entire area and encompasses the at least one moved position; and provide an indication to automatically modify the shared content so as to magnify a view of the focus region at the at least one other computing device engaged in the online meeting. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
