- the sharing module determines in a step 210 whether the size of said file pdf is too important or not. If the size of the pdf file is too large, the sharing module determines in a step 220 that an image file must be sent to the other electronic client devices 100.
- the server sharing module 180 tests the connection between said server 180 and the client electronic devices and, if the connection has a sufficient rate, a high quality image is transmitted to the client electronic device in a step 240 and, if the connection has insufficient flow, a low quality image is transmitted to the client electronic device in a step 250.
- the sharing module tests the flow of the connection between said server 180 and the client electronic devices in a step 260 and, if the connection has a sufficient rate, the sharing module determines the complete file in pdf format is transmitted to the client electronic device in a step 270 and, if the connection has insufficient throughput, the sharing module determines in step 220 that an image file must be sent to the other client electronic devices 100.
- the server sharing module 180 tests the throughput of the server connections with the servers. Other electronic devices 100 in a step 310. If the bit rate of the connection is insufficient, the server 180 sends to the corresponding electronic device a low quality video with sound (320). If the rate of the connection is very insufficient, the server 180 sends to the corresponding electronic device only sound (330) and if the flow of the connection is sufficient, the server 180 sends the corresponding electronic device a high quality video with sound (340)
- the sharing module 170 comprises, with reference to FIG. 12, a so-called server module which is hosted on a public server directly accessible by any device connected to the internet.
- Said server may consist of a remote server or an embedded server on one of the electronic devices 100.

The module will then receive messages from customers and redistribute them to the right people. This redistribution is done in an intelligent way, according to the bandwidth available to the users, the transmitted commands will be different.
- the server module receives and listens to a message transmitted by an electronic device in a step 400, then verifies the access authorization contained in said message in a step 410.
- the server module disconnects the electronic device in a step 420. If access is allowed, the server module analyzes the message in a step 430 to determine whether it is a configuration message or a message collaborative. If it is a configuration message, the server module verifies that the high security access is authorized in a step 440 and proceeds to the configuration in a step 450 if the access is authorized or disconnects (420). ) if access is not allowed. If it is a collaborative message, the server module looks for the meeting room corresponding to the message in a step 460 and sends the message to the different users connected to the meeting room concerned in a step 470. Incidentally, the content the message can be compressed in a step 480 before sending to different users depending on the quality of the connection of each user with the server 180.
