DYNAMIC CONTROLS FOR A WEB-BASED CONFERENCE COLLABORATION TOOL
A conference collaboration system has a server connected to a network and configured to generate a page view requested by a client device over the network and provide dynamic content associated with the requested page view for display on the device; and a database configured to store the dynamic content, update the dynamic content in response to commands from the server, and provide the dynamic content to the server in response to requests from the server, wherein the dynamic content is associated with a plurality of services, each shown in a page view, and the dynamic content and the services are associated with a conference. The server can determine an authorization level of a user interacting with the client device and provide a page view and dynamic content in response to the authorization level, and the dynamic content is updated or created in response to or for actions during the conference.
1 . A computer implemented method for managing dynamic controls, the method comprising:
determining, by a server, that a dynamic content object referencing dynamic content stored in a database has been created, wherein a dynamic content object requires the server to reload or update a page view when the object is selected by a user;
assigning, by a server, a unique dynamic control identification to the dynamic control object, wherein the dynamic control identification includes a navigation pointer to the dynamic content stored in the database and referenced by the dynamic control object, and the dynamic control identification also includes information describing a type of page view to generate for the dynamic content when the dynamic content object is selected; and
storing, by a server, the dynamic control identification in a database under a conference.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the dynamic control identification includes a reference to the page view associated with that dynamic control identification.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a document added to a documents service is a dynamic content object that is assigned a unique dynamic control identification, and the document object in the document service opens a document reading sub-view to view the document.
4 . A computer implemented method for managing dynamic controls, the method comprising:
generating, by a server, a page view including dynamic content objects referencing dynamic content stored in a database, wherein a dynamic content object requires the server to reload or update a page view when the object is selected by a user;
assigning, by a server, a unique dynamic control identification to all dynamic control objects included in the page view, wherein the dynamic control identification includes a navigation pointer to the dynamic content stored in the database and referenced by the dynamic control object, and the dynamic control identification also includes information describing a type of page view to generate for the dynamic content when the dynamic content object is selected; and
associating, by a server, each unique dynamic control identification with a conference by storing each dynamic control identification in the database using a record that references the conference; and
deleting, by a server, the assigned dynamic control identifications when a new page view is generated.
5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the dynamic control identifications includes a reference to the page view that the dynamic control identification is included in.
6 . A system for managing dynamic controls comprising:
a server configured to:
determine that a dynamic content object referencing dynamic content stored in a database has been created, wherein a dynamic content object requires the server to reload or update a page view when the object is selected by a user;
assign a unique dynamic control identification to the dynamic control object, wherein the dynamic control identification includes a navigation pointer to the dynamic content stored in the database and referenced by the dynamic control object, and the dynamic control identification also includes information describing a type of page view to generate for the dynamic content when the dynamic content object is selected; and
store the dynamic control identification in a database under a conference.
7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the dynamic control identification includes a reference to the page view associated with that dynamic control identification.
8 . The system of claim 6 , wherein a document added to a documents service is a dynamic content object that is assigned a unique dynamic control identification, and the document object in the document service opens a document reading sub-view to view the document.
9 . A system for managing dynamic controls comprising:
a server configured to:
generate a page view including dynamic content objects referencing dynamic content stored in a database, wherein a dynamic content object requires the server to reload or update a page view when the object is selected by a user;
assign a unique dynamic control identification to all dynamic control objects included in the page view, wherein the dynamic control identification includes a navigation pointer to the dynamic content stored in the database and referenced by the dynamic control object, and the dynamic control identification also includes information describing a type of page view to generate for the dynamic content when the dynamic content object is selected; and
associate each unique dynamic control identification with a conference by storing each dynamic control identification in the database using a record that references the conference; and
delete the assigned dynamic control identifications when a new page view is generated.
10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the dynamic control identifications includes a reference to the page view that the dynamic control identification is included in.
