This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18232822 titled 'GROUP COMMUNICATIONS PLATFORM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a group communications platform that allows users to share an application environment with others.
- The platform enables a group session between a local user and a remote user.
- It establishes an out-of-process network connection between the local and remote computing devices.
- The local instance of a first application can send data to the remote instance of the same application through this network connection.
- The data includes state information of the local application, which updates the state of the remote application.
Original Abstract Submitted
A group communications platform facilitates that sharing of an application environment with other users. The platform may receive a request to initiate a group session for a local user and a remote user. An out-of-process network connection with a system communication channel between a local computing device associated with the local user and a remote computing device associated with the remote user may be established for the group session. A system call may be received from a local instance of a first application on the local computing device to transfer local data to a remote instance of the first application on the remote computing device via the out-of-process network connection. The local data may be transferred to the remote instance of the first application on the remote computing device via the out-of-process network connection and the system communication channel. The local data may include state data of the local instance of the first application for updating a state of the remote instance of the first application.
