Interactive Intelligent Educational Board and System

摘要

An interactive video board allows creation of a virtual classroom that enables real-time audio-visual communication and a real-time exchange of digital information between students in a physical classroom and a remote student at a location outside the physical classroom. The interactive video board includes a central processing unit (CPU) and a physical storage device that stores machine-executable instructions through which the CPU controls operation of the interactive video board. The video board also includes a multitouch display device that itself includes both (a) a video display device, which drives the presentation of graphical information (including streamed audio/visual data in some embodiments) to the students in the physical classroom, and (b) a multitouch input screen configured to capture, in response to a student's touching the screen, graphical input data for display on the video display device in the physical classroom and on a remote device used by the remote student. The video board also includes (c) audio and video capture devices that create audio and video data from activities in the physical classroom for delivery to the remote device and (d) a remote-connectivity component coupled to an external network to effect delivery of the graphical input data and the audio and video data from the interactive video board to the remote device.
