Abstract

A method and apparatus for sharing presentation data, interactions, and annotation information between devices. The method includes: converting the presentation data into at least one image; transmitting the at least one image to the second device; displaying an image from among the at least one image on a screen of the first device, and transmitting image identification information about the displayed image to the second device; adding annotation data to the displayed image, based on a user input; and transmitting annotation information about the annotation data to the second device. The second device displays an image corresponding to the image identification information on a screen of the second device based on the image identification information, and the second device displays the annotation information on the image displayed on the screen of the second device the annotation information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of sharing presentation data between a first device and a second device, the method comprising: controlling to display a first page from among a plurality of pages included in the presentation data on a screen of the first device; controlling to transmit the presentation data toward the second device; based on a user input on the first device, controlling to display a first annotation over the first page displayed on the screen of the first device; controlling to transmit, independently of the presentation data, the first annotation and a first page ID of the first page displayed on the screen of the first device to the second device, so that the first annotation is displayed over a first page from among the plurality of pages corresponding to the first page ID displayed on the screen of the second device; controlling to receive, independently of the presentation data, a second annotation and a second page ID of a second page from among the plurality of pages displayed on the screen of the second device from the second device; controlling to display the second annotation over a second page from among the plurality of pages corresponding to the second page ID on the screen of the first device; and controlling to store presentation data including, the first annotation and the second annotation to a memory of the first device; and
wherein the first annotation is transmitted toward the second device based on a record mode of the first device being a public writing mode, wherein the method further comprises controlling to prevent the first annotation from being transmitted toward the second device based on the record mode of the first device being a private memo mode.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the controlling to transmit the presentation data toward the second device comprises:
controlling to convert the presentation data into image data; and
controlling to transmit the image data toward the second device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the presentation data comprises a PowerPoint file and the PowerPoint file is converted to a PDF file prior to the transmission of the presentation data toward the second device.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
controlling to transmit first record time information associated with the first annotation to the second device; and
controlling to receive second record time information associated with the second annotation from the second device.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising controlling to store the presentation data including the first annotation and the second annotation in a file cloud.

6. A first device for sharing presentation data, the first device comprising: a memory storing instructions; and a processor configured to execute the instructions to at least: control to display a first page from among a plurality of pages included in the presentation data on a screen of the first device; control to transmit the presentation data toward a second device; based on a user input on the first device, control to display a first annotation over the first page-displayed on the screen of the first device; control to transmit, independently of the presentation data, the first annotation and a first page ID of the first page displayed on the screen of the first device to the second device, so that the first annotation is displayed over a first page from among the plurality of pages corresponding to the first page ID displayed on the screen of the second device; control to receive, independently of the presentation data, a second annotation and a second page ID of a second page from among the plurality of pages displayed on the screen of the second device from the second device; control to display the second annotation over a second page from among the plurality of pages corresponding to the second page ID on the screen of the first device; and the second annotation to a memory of the first device; and
wherein the first annotation is transmitted toward the second device-based on a record mode of the first device being a public writing mode, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions further to control to prevent the first annotation from being transmitted toward the second device based on the record mode of the first device being a private memo mode.

7. The first device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to control to transmit the presentation data to the second device by:
controlling to convert the presentation data into image data; and
controlling to transmit the image data toward the second device.

8. The first device of claim 6 , wherein the presentation data comprises a PowerPoint file and the PowerPoint file is converted to a PDF file prior to the transmission of the presentation data toward the second device.

9. The first device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions further to:
control to transmit first record time information associated with the first annotation to the second device; and
control to receive second record time information associated with the second annotation from the second device.

10. The first device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions further to control to store the presentation data including the first annotation and the second annotation in a file cloud.

11. A non-transitory computer readable, recording medium having recorded therein an application executable by a processor of a first device to cause the processor to at least: control to display a first page from among a plurality of pages included in presentation data on a screen of the first device; control to transmit the presentation data toward a second device; based on a user input on the first device, control to display a first annotation over the first page-displayed on the screen of the first device; control to transmit, independently of the presentation data, the first annotation and a first page ID of the first page displayed on the screen of the first device to the second device, so that the first annotation is displayed over a first page from among the plurality of pages corresponding to the first page ID displayed on the screen of the second device; control to receive independently, of the presentation data, a second annotation and a second page ID of a second page from among the plurality of pages displayed on the screen of the second device from the second device; control to display the second annotation over a page from among the plurality of pages corresponding to the second page ID on the screen of the first device; and control to store presentation data including the first annotation and the second annotation to a memory of the first device; and
wherein the first annotation is transmitted toward the second device, based on a record mode of the first device being a public writing mode, wherein the application causes the processor further to control to prevent the first annotation from being transmitted toward the second device based on the record mode of the first device being a private memo mode.

12. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium of claim 11 , wherein the application causes the processor to control to transmit the presentation data toward the second device by causing the processor to:
control to convert the presentation data into image data; and
control to transmit the image data toward the second device.

13. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium of claim 11 , wherein the presentation data comprises a PowerPoint file and the PowerPoint file is converted to a PDF file prior to the transmission
