Abstract

An electronic device is provided that includes a display, a processor, and a data storage device having executable instructions accessible by the processor. Responsive to execution of the instructions, the processor displays a user desktop related to a user, creates a virtual meeting that is configured to be attended by communication through a network by at least one network based electronic device, generates a shared desktop related to the virtual meeting that is configured to be shared with the at least one network based electronic device via the network, and displays the shared desktop during the virtual meeting.

Claims (39)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

a processor;

a data storage device having executable instructions accessible by the processor;

wherein, responsive to execution of the instructions, the processor:

displays a user desktop related to a user;

creates a virtual meeting that is configured to be attended by communication through a network by at least one network based electronic device;

generates a shared desktop related to the virtual meeting that is configured to be shared with the at least one network based electronic device via the network; and

displays the shared desktop during the virtual meeting.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein, responsive to execution of the instructions, the processor further: obtains meeting content input into a meeting application; and generates the shared desktop based on the meeting content.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein, responsive to execution of the instructions, the processor further:

launches the virtual meeting that includes the shared desktop based on the meeting content.

4. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein responsive to execution of the instructions, the processor further: invites attendees based on the meeting content.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein responsive to execution of the instructions, the process further: determines a shared desktop identifier, and communicates the shared desktop identifier to the at least one network based electronic device.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the shared desktop identifier is one of a password, executable code, or a key.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the shared desktop includes a user interface for controlling access to the shared desktop.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the network includes at least one of a cloud, a cellular network, a wireless network, or a Wi-Fi based network.

9. A method, comprising:

under control of one or more processors including program instructions to:

display a user desktop related to a user;

create a virtual meeting that is configured to be attended by communication through a network by at least one network based electronic device;

generate a shared desktop related to the virtual meeting that is configured to be shared with the at least one network based electronic device via the network; and

display the shared desktop during the virtual meeting.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors include program instructions to obtain meeting content input into a meeting application; and generate the shared desktop based on the meeting content.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors include program instructions to:

launch the virtual meeting that includes the shared desktop based on the meeting content.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors include program instructions to invite attendees based on the meeting content.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors include program instructions to spin up or spin down the shared desktop based on the meeting content.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors include program instructions to determine a shared desktop identifier, and communicate the shared desktop identifier to the at least one network based electronic device.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors include program instructions to save the shared desktop in response to an end of the virtual meeting.

16. A computer program product comprising a non-signal computer readable storage medium comprising computer executable code to:

display a user desktop related to a user;

create a virtual meeting that is configured to be attended by communication through a network by at least one network based electronic device;

generate a shared desktop related to the virtual meeting that is configured to be shared with the at least one network based electronic device via the network; and

display the shared desktop during the virtual meeting.

17. The program product of claim 16 , wherein the computer executable code to obtain meeting content input into a meeting application; and generate the shared desktop based on the meeting content.

18. The program product of claim 16 , wherein the computer executable code to launch the virtual meeting that includes the shared desktop based on the meeting content.

19. The program product of claim 16 , wherein the computer executable code to determine a shared desktop identifier, and communicate the shared desktop identifier to the at least one network based electronic device, and wherein the computer executable code grants access to the at least one network based electronic device to alter the shared desktop based on the shared desktop identifier.

20. The program product of claim 15 , wherein the computer executable code to save the shared desktop for a determined period in response to an end of the virtual meeting.
