Collaborative data editing and processing system

1. A collaborative content editing method implemented by a mobile processing device having a camera, the method comprising:

establishing communications between the mobile processing device and a server hosting a virtual collaboration window projected onto an external surface;

acquiring, by the camera, and in response to a first user input, a first image, the first image including at least one object of a plurality of objects arranged in the virtual collaboration window, the at least one object having a first relative position to the plurality of other objects;

after acquiring the first image:

sending a signal, by the mobile processing device, causing removal of the at least one object from the virtual collaboration window and displaying the at least one object on a touch screen display of the mobile processing device; and

receiving a second user input to edit at least one object in the first image, wherein receiving the second user input to edit the at least one object comprises:

receiving a handwriting gesture on the mobile processing device directly over the at least one object; and

causing the at least one object to be updated with the handwriting gesture, wherein the handwriting gesture is converted to a handwriting image and is co-displayed with the at least one object;

detecting movement of the camera, from a first point to a second point within the virtual collaboration window, such that a view point of the camera changes from the first relative position to the plurality of other objects to a second relative position to the plurality of other objects;

responsive to detecting movement of the camera and receiving a third user input, removing the edited at least one object from the touch screen display of the mobile processing device and displaying the edited at least one object at the second relative position to the plurality of other objects in the virtual collaboration window; and

transmitting the edited at least one object to the server enabling the server to update the plurality of other objects with the edited at least one object, and to position the edited at least one object at the second relative position to the plurality of other objects in the virtual collaboration window.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein editing the at least one object is performed in response to editorial rights being assigned by the server.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second user input and editing of the at least one object occur while detecting the movement.

4. A portable processing device comprising:

a camera;

a wireless communication unit configured to perform wireless communication with a server;

a display unit having a touch screen and configured to display an image acquired by the camera and to display data received from the server through the wireless communication unit, the image corresponds to part of a collaboration window generated by the server; and

a control unit configured to control the camera, the wireless communication unit and the display unit,

wherein the control unit is configured to:

cause the wireless communication unit to establish communications between the portable processing device and a server hosting a virtual collaboration window;

acquire, from the camera, and in response to a first user input, a first image, the first image including at least one object of a plurality of objects arranged in the virtual collaboration window, the at least one object having a first relative position to the plurality of other objects;

after acquiring the first image:

removing the at least one object from the virtual collaboration window and displaying the at least one object on a touch screen display of the portable processing device; and

receiving second a user input to edit at least one object in the first image, wherein receiving the second user input to edit the at least one object further comprises:

receiving a handwriting gesture on the portable processing device directly over the at least one object; and

causing the at least one object to be updated with the handwriting gesture, wherein the handwriting gesture is converted to a handwriting image and is co-displayed on the at least one object;

detect movement of the camera, from a first point to second point within the virtual collaboration window, such that a view point of the camera changes from the first relative position to the plurality of other objects to a second relative position to the plurality of other objects;

responsive to detecting movement of the camera and receiving a third user input, removing the edited at least one object from the touch screen display of the portable processing device and causing the display unit to display the edited at least one object at the second relative position to the plurality of other objects in the virtual collaboration window; and

cause the wireless communication unit to transmit the edited at least one object to the server enabling the server to update the plurality of other objects with the edited at least one object at the second relative position to the plurality of other objects in the virtual collaboration window.

5. The portable processing device of claim 4 , further comprising:

a sensor unit configured to detect a physical parameter and to output detection information corresponding to the detected physical parameter,

wherein the control unit is further configured to calculate movement information by using the detection information and to control the wireless communication unit to transmit the movement information to the server such that the server corrects the first image in response to the movement information.
