Abstract
An object sharing application provides a method and system for sharing an object (20)in a teleconference communications environment (10). The invention includes the steps and instructions for establishing a teleconferencing session between a source terminal (12) and a destination terminal (14). Then, the invention identifies object (20) having at least one link (36)to a source terminal application program (120, 122, 124) associated with the source terminal (12)occurs. The steps and instructions also include sharing the object between the source terminal (12) and the destination terminal (14)during the teleconferencing session without sharing the source terminal application program (120, 122, 124) from source terminal (12). As a result, the destination terminal (14) may associate the object (20) with at least one destination terminal application program (120, 122, 124) the at least one destination terminal application program (120, 122, 124) being separate from the source terminal application program (120, 122, 124).
