US Patent 9998883 Glass pane for collaborative electronic communication

An electronic communication device detects initiation of a real-time communication link between the electronic communication device and a communication endpoint via a communication network. In response to the detecting, the electronic communication device automatically presents, within a display associated with the electronic communication device during a duration of the real-time communication link, a communication portal including at least a Glass pane containing a collaborative collection of data elements shared between and updatable by both a user of electronic communication device and a party associated with the communication endpoint. During a duration of the real-time communication link, the electronic communication device synchronizes data elements presented within the Glass pane between electronic communication device and the communication endpoint such that an update to the data collection is presented both within the Glass pane of the display and at the communication endpoint.
