Abstract

A method of resource sharing in a teleconference involves detecting a presentation of a first resource by a participant of the teleconference, determining a locator for the first resource, in response to the detecting of the first resource, generating a functioning link to the first resource based on the locator, and sending the functioning link to the first resource to another participant to be displayed in a user interface of the teleconference.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method of resource sharing in a teleconference, the method comprising:
detecting a presentation of a first resource by a participant of the teleconference; determining a locator for the first resource, in response to the detecting of the first resource; generating a functioning link to the first resource based on the locator; and sending the functioning link to the first resource to another participant to be displayed in a user interface of the teleconference.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting an enablement of resource sharing.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
monitoring the teleconference to detect a presentation of a second resource.

4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
comparing the second resource to the first resource to confirm that the first resource and second resource are separate resources.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the locator for the first resource comprises:
determining a uniform resource locator for the first resource.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein determining the uniform resource locator comprises:
determining a base of the uniform resource locator to utilize as the locator for the first resource.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first resource is any one of a web page, a document, a slide show, an image, or a video.

8 . A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that provides instructions that, when executed by a set of one or more processors, are configurable to cause the set of one or more processors to perform operations for resource sharing in teleconferences comprising:
detecting a presentation of a first resource by a participant of a teleconference; determining a locator for the first resource, in response to the detecting of the first resource; generating a functioning link to the first resource based on the locator; and sending the functioning link to the first resource to another participant to be displayed in a user interface of teleconferencing software.

9 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , having further instructions stored therein that, when executed, cause the set of one or more processors to perform further operations comprising:
detecting an enablement of resource sharing.

10 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , having further instructions stored therein that, when executed, cause the set of one or more processors to perform further operations comprising:
monitoring the teleconference to detect a presentation of a second resource.

11 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 10 , having further instructions stored therein that, when executed, cause the set of one or more processors to perform further operations comprising:
comparing the second resource to the first resource to confirm that the first resource and second resource are separate resources.

12 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein determining the locator for the first resource comprises:
determining a uniform resource locator for the first resource.

13 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein determining the uniform resource locator comprises:
determining a base of the uniform resource locator to utilize as the locator for the first resource.

14 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the first resource is any one of a web page, a document, a slide show, an image, or a video.

15 . An apparatus comprising:
a set of one or more processors; and a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium coupled to the set of one or more processors that provides instructions that, if executed by the set of one or more processors, are configurable to cause the apparatus to perform operations comprising,
detecting a presentation of a first resource by a participant of a teleconference;
determining a locator for the first resource, in response to the detecting of the first resource;
generating a functioning link to the first resource based on the locator; and
sending the functioning link to the first resource to another participant to be displayed in a user interface of the teleconference.

16 . The apparatus of claim 15 , the operations further comprising:
detecting an enablement of resource sharing.

17 . The apparatus of claim 15 , the operations further comprising:
monitoring the teleconference to detect a presentation of a second resource.

18 . The apparatus of claim 17 , the operations further comprising:
comparing the second resource to the first resource to confirm that the first resource and second resource are separate resources.

19 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein determining the locator for the first resource comprises:
determining a uniform resource locator for the first resource.

20 . The apparatus of claim 19 , wherein determining the uniform resource locator comprises:
determining a base of the uniform resource locator to utilize as the locator for the first resource.

21 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the first resource is any one of a web page, a document, a slide show, an image, or a video.
