Method and system for sharing objects between local and remote terminals
First Claim
1. A method of sharing an object in a teleconferencing communications environment, comprising the steps of:
- establishing a teleconference session between a source terminal having a source terminal application program and a destination terminal having at least one destination terminal application program;
identifying an object comprising a plurality of attributes, said object having at least one link to the source terminal application program;
sharing said object between said source terminal and said destination terminal during said teleconferencing session without transferring said source terminal application program from said source terminal by streaming data from the source terminal to the destination terminal to create said object at the destination terminal, so that said destination terminal may associate said object with at least one destination terminal application program.

Abstract
An object sharing application provides a method and system for sharing an object (20)in a teleconference communications environment (10). The invention includes the steps and instructions for establishing a teleconferencing session between a source terminal (12) and a destination terminal (14). Then, the invention identifies object (20) having at least one link (36)to a source terminal application program (120, 122, 124) associated with the source terminal (12)occurs. The steps and instructions also include sharing the object between the source terminal (12) and the destination terminal (14)during the teleconferencing session without sharing the source terminal application program (120, 122, 124) from source terminal (12). As a result, the destination terminal (14) may associate the object (20) with at least one destination terminal application program (120, 122, 124) the at least one destination terminal application program (120, 122, 124) being separate from the source terminal application program (120, 122, 124).

21. A teleconferencing system for conducting a teleconference, comprising:
-
at least one source terminal for originating a teleconference; at least one destination terminal for receiving data from said at least one source terminal in supporting said teleconference; a telecommunications medium for permitting communications between said at least one source terminal and said at least one destination terminal; and an object sharing application associated with said at least one source terminal and said destination terminal for sharing an object between said at least one source terminal and said at least one destination terminal, said object sharing application comprising; teleconferencing instructions for establishing a teleconference session between said at least one source terminal and said at least one destination terminal; object identifying instructions for identifying an object comprising a plurality of attributes, said object having at least one link to said at least one source terminal application program associated with said at least one source terminal; object sharing instructions for sharing said object between said at least one source terminal and said destination terminal during said teleconferencing session without sharing said at least one source terminal application program from said at least one source terminal by streaming data from the source terminal to the destination terminal to create said object at the destination terminal, so that said destination terminal may associate said object with at least one destination terminal application program, said at least one destination terminal application program being separate from said at least one source terminal application program. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
