Portfolio Members:
We are pleased to introduce an Eight US patent portfolio for multi-user collaboration. These eight patents disclose existing Internet meeting solutions with priority dates as early as 2007, and provide a vision for future technologies.
The portfolio includes core functionalities, which allow for
Business collaboration on shared documents:
- To synchronize all participants within the remote content - whether it is shared on a server or desktop
- To ensure that everyone stays focused, and is not multitasking - otherwise their pointers would not be visible
- Full presence awareness with no video for privacy
Entertainment collaboration like gaming, gambling, dating etc:
- To watch live reaction from participants to a player's unpredictable move
- To ensure fairness of the game
- Full presence awareness with no video to stay anonymous
Ad-hoc collaboration on websites:
- The host can sell products or services
- Visitors can "see" each other and discuss the website content
This is a potential asset for companies engaged in:

Two patents 8,060,887 8,627,211 from the portfolio cover the core functionality of major multi-user collaboration tools that exist on the market today. These were patented in
2007 and are good to be asserted (the older the better). On the
contrary, four other patents: web-publishing 7,765,266 gaming 8,702,505 and www.enflock.com 9,579,572 and 10,180,765
bring new business to the operating company.
This technology shows character-by-character typing and drawing as it happens in real-time. Participant's pointers are visible to each other to provide true Presence Awareness without revealing their faces via video. This is a must for business collaboration where people work on the shared documents and entertainment where participants prefer to stay anonymous.
The functionalities from both these patents and the additional features provided by the rest of the patents will differentiate the portfolio owner in a current competitive world of Internet collaboration. The patent portfolio:
- Will serve as a safety net against potential infringements
- Can be sub-licensed to others
- Will protect own paid services against free ones.
Presence Awareness, as it is patented, enhances the user experience and increases user stickiness, thus reducing churn. Since Internet meetings are typically paid subscription services, this technology is revenue generating.
