Content amplification system and method
First Claim
1. A content sharing system for sharing digital content, the system comprising:
- at least a first large common emissive surface arranged for viewing by users within a conference space;
at least a first connector device for establishing a communication link with a portable computing device;
an interface for controlling shared content on the common emissive surface;
at least a first processor linked to the common emissive surface and the connector device and programmed to perform the steps of;
i. upon linking a portable computing device to the system via the connector device wherein the portable computing device includes a display screen and presents a desktop on the display screen, presenting a sharing control via the interface; and
ii. upon selection of the sharing control;
a. replicating an instantaneous current portable computing device desktop via the common emissive surface;
b. presenting at least a first persistent sharing control via the interface; and
c. upon selection of the first persistent sharing control;
1. generating a first representation of the desktop corresponding to the instant when the first persistent sharing control is selected; and
2. presenting the first representation via the common emissive surface irrespective of a current desktop representation on the portable computing device display screen.

Abstract
A digital content sharing system includes a common emissive surface, a first connector device for establishing a communication link with a portable computing device, an interface for controlling shared content on the emissive surface, and a first processor linked to the emissive surface and connector device and programmed to perform the steps of: upon linking a portable computing device that presents a desktop on a display screen via the connector device, presenting a sharing control via the interface; and upon selection of the sharing control, replicating an instantaneous portable computing device desktop via the emissive surface and presenting a persistent sharing control via the interface. Upon selection of the persistent sharing control, the processor is programmed to generate and present via the emissive surface a representation of the desktop corresponding to the instant when the persistent sharing control is selected irrespective of a current desktop representation on the display screen.

28. A content sharing system for sharing digital content, the system comprising:
-
at least a first large common emissive surface arranged for viewing by users within a conference space; at least a first connector device for establishing a communication link with a portable computing device; an interface for controlling shared content on the common emissive surface; at least a first processor linked to the common emissive surface and the connector device and programmed to perform the steps of; i. upon linking a portable computing device to the system via the connector device wherein the portable computing device includes a display screen and runs at least a first application program to generate a desktop on the display screen, presenting a sharing control via the interface wherein the sharing control enables a user to; a. replicate a current portable computing device desktop on the common emissive surface; b. freeze an image of the desktop presented on the common emissive surface to generate a persistent desktop image on the emissive surface irrespective of a current desktop representation on the portable computing device display screen; and c. cause the at least a first application program to persistently operate and present a desktop on the emissive surface irrespective of a current desktop representation on the portable computing device display screen. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. A content sharing system for sharing digital content, the system comprising:
-
at least a first large common emissive surface arranged for viewing by users within a conference space; at least a first connector device for establishing a communication link with a portable computing device; an interface for controlling shared content on the common emissive surface; at least a first processor linked to the common emissive surface and the connector device and programmed to perform the steps of; i. upon linking a portable computing device to the system via the connector device wherein the portable computing device includes a display screen and runs application programs to generate a desktop on the display screen, presenting a sharing control via the interface wherein the sharing control enables a user to; a. while a first application program is running on the portable computing device to generate a first desktop on the display screen, replicate the first desktop in a first field on the common emissive surface; and b. cause the at least a first application program to persistently operate and present the first desktop on the emissive surface irrespective of a current desktop representation on the portable computing device display screen. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
