Apparatus and method for simultaneous multi-user screen and window sharing, capturing and coordination to form a collaboration recording
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium has instructions executed by a processor to host a composite window collection for a group of collaborators. The composite window collection includes individual windows controlled by individual collaborators and the group of collaborators observe the composite window collection from different computers connected via a network. A composite window collection session recording is formed. The composite window collection session recording is augmented with metadata to form a collaboration recording. Storage rules are applied to the collaboration recording. A request for the collaboration recording is received from a user. The user is prompted for metadata filtering criteria. A filtered collaboration recording is constructed in accordance with the metadata filtering criteria. The filtered collaboration recording is supplied to the user.
1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium with instructions executed by a processor to:
host a composite window collection for a group of collaborators, wherein the composite window collection includes individual windows controlled by individual collaborators and the group of collaborators observe the composite window collection from different computers connected via a network;
form a composite window collection session recording;
augment the composite window collection session recording with metadata to form a collaboration recording, wherein the metadata includes metadata for each communication exchange between the group of collaborators;
apply storage rules to the collaboration recording;
receive a request for the collaboration recording from a user;
prompt the user for metadata filtering criteria;
construct a filtered collaboration recording in accordance with the metadata filtering criteria; and
supply the filtered collaboration recording to the user.
2. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 1 wherein the metadata includes metadata for each window in the composite window collection.
3. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 1 wherein the metadata includes metadata for each collaborator in the group of collaborators.
4. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 1 wherein the metadata includes metadata for each user interaction with a window.
5. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 1 wherein the metadata includes time stamps.
6. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 1 wherein the metadata includes event bookmarks.
7. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 1 wherein the storage rules are time based.
8. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 1 wherein the storage rules are event based.
9. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 1 wherein the storage rules are user based.
10. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 1 further comprising instructions executed by the processor to transcribe the collaboration recording to form a textual collaboration recording.
11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 10 further comprising instructions executed by the processor to filter the textual collaboration recording in accordance with metadata criteria.
