displayed in the whiteboard area of all the conference
participants. A vertical scroll bar 62 is provided
at the right edge of the working area and a horizontal
scroll bar 64 is provided along the bottom edge of the
work area. As will be familiar to those skilled in the
art, the scroll bars are used to control positioning
of the objects displayed in the work area
we find that because the scroll bars are used to control
positioning of the objects in the work area, that upon using the
scroll bars to scroll down a page shown in the whiteboard area,
that the portion scrolled to will be displayed in the whiteboard
area. However, this does not mean that the display will be
occuring subsequent to termination of the scrolling. As Glaser
is silent as how this takes place and when the display is shown
on the computers of the other participants, we find that Glaser
does not disclose that upon detection of the termination of
scrolling, ascertaining which part of the document is being
displayed by the computer, and after said ascertainment,
transmitting to the other computers data which enables them to
display said part of the document.
