Portable presentation system and methods for use therewith
First Claim
1. An assembly for use with a display configuration including a master presentation sub-space and a plurality of slave presentation sub-spaces, the assembly for controlling an information sharing session, the assembly comprising:
- a processor linked to the display configuration and programmed to perform the steps of;
obtaining identification information from information sources usable to generate images on the presentation sub-spaces during a session;
presenting an interface via the master presentation sub-space, the interface including;
a master workspace area for presenting images via the master presentation sub-space; and
a tool area including a separate source icon for each of the information sources usable to generate images on the presentation sub-spaces during a session, each source icon selectable via the interface to present information from an associated source as an image in the master workspace area, the tool area further including a separate panel icon corresponding to each of a plurality of session images generated during a session, the session images including at least images moved from the master workspace area to one of the slave presentation sub-spaces at some time during a session, wherein, when a panel icon is selected, an instance of the session image associated with the panel icon is presented in the master workspace area.

19. An assembly for use with a display configuration including a master presentation sub-space and a plurality of slave presentation sub-spaces, the assembly for controlling an information sharing session, the assembly comprising:
-
a processor linked to the display configuration and programmed to perform the steps of; obtaining identification information from a plurality of information sources wherein each source is linkable to the processor to provide information usable to generate images on the presentation sub-spaces during a session, at least a first of the information sources including a computer running an application program to generate images corresponding to application program output; presenting a master interface via the master presentation sub-space, the interface including; a master workspace area for generating session images; a tool bar area including panel icons for each of a plurality of session images generated during a session and a separate source icon for each of the information sources usable to generate images on the presentation sub-spaces during a session; the processor further programmed to perform the steps of; upon selection of one of the panel icons, presenting an image associated with the selected panel icon within the master workspace area; and upon selection of one of the source icons, presenting images generated via information from the source associated with the selected source icon within the master workspace area. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48)

49. A method for use with a display configuration including a master presentation sub-space and a plurality of slave presentation sub-spaces, the assembly for controlling an information sharing session, the method comprising the steps of:
-
linking a processor to the display configuration, the processor programmed to perform the steps of; obtaining identification information from information sources usable to generate images on the presentation sub-spaces during a session; presenting an interface via the master presentation sub-space, the interface including; a master workspace area for presenting images via the master presentation sub-space; and a tool area including; (i) a separate source icon for each of the information sources usable to generate images on the presentation sub-spaces during a session, each source icon selectable via the interface to present information from an associated source as an image in the master workspace area, (ii) a separate panel icon corresponding to each of a plurality of session images generated during a session, the session images including at least images moved from the master workspace area to one of the slave presentation sub-spaces at some time during a session, wherein, upon selection of a panel icon, an instance of the session image associated with the panel icon is presented in the master workspace area.
