Method and apparatus for generating images of a document with interaction
First Claim
1. A system for capturing images of a document and interaction of a primary user with the document in an interaction session and a display of the document and interaction at a remote location, the system comprising:
- image capture means adapted to capture an initial image of the document before the interaction session at a first resolution and to capture at least one additional image of the document at a second resolution during the interaction session, the first resolution being greater than the second resolution; and
data transmission means for sending a data set including the initial captured image and information indicative of the content of at least a part of the additional image across a network to a remote device;
whereinthe remote device comprises the display which is adapted to present to a user of the remote device information obtained from the initial image of the document and the information indicative of the part of the additional image which have been sent across the network,wherein the presented information comprises a composite image produced from the initial image and the additional image.

Abstract
Embodiments provide a system and method for generating images of a document with interaction of a primary user with the document in an interaction session. Briefly described, one embodiment comprises an image capture means adapted to capture an initial image of the document without interaction by a user and to subsequently capture at least one additional image of the document during an interaction session including interaction from the user during that session, and a processing means adapted to generate a data set representing the interaction session from the initial image and the additional image, the data set containing at least the initial image along with information indicative of the interaction of the user during the session obtained from the additional image.

1. A system for capturing images of a document and interaction of a primary user with the document in an interaction session and a display of the document and interaction at a remote location, the system comprising:
-
image capture means adapted to capture an initial image of the document before the interaction session at a first resolution and to capture at least one additional image of the document at a second resolution during the interaction session, the first resolution being greater than the second resolution; and data transmission means for sending a data set including the initial captured image and information indicative of the content of at least a part of the additional image across a network to a remote device;
whereinthe remote device comprises the display which is adapted to present to a user of the remote device information obtained from the initial image of the document and the information indicative of the part of the additional image which have been sent across the network, wherein the presented information comprises a composite image produced from the initial image and the additional image. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

7. A method of sharing document interaction information across a network comprising:
-
generating an initial high-resolution image of the document that is exclusive of any user interaction with the document; sending information indicative of the high-resolution image across the network to a remote device; rendering the high-resolution image on a display at the remote device; generating at least one subsequent image including interaction of a user with the document, the subsequent image having a lower resolution than the high-resolution image; and sending the information indicative of the content of at least a portion of the subsequent image across the network to the remote device, wherein the display is adapted to present, to a user of the remote device, a composite image produced from the initial image and from the subsequent image. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A memory having stored thereon a computer program which when running on a processor causes the processor to:
-
generate an initial high-resolution image of a document, exclusive of any user interaction with the document, using an image capture device; send information indicative of the high-resolution image across a network to a remote device where the information is rendered on a display; generate at least one subsequent image including interaction of a user with the document, the subsequent image having a lower resolution than the high-resolution image; and send the information indicative of the content of at least a portion of the subsequent images across the network to the remote device, wherein the display is adapted to present, to a user of the remote device, a composite image produced from the initial image and from the subsequent image. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
