Patent Searching and Data


Title:
The synchronization of an existence base
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6254950
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
Presence-based synchronization manages updates among concurrent collaborators based on the presence information of each collaborator within a shared document of a collaboration environment. A collaborator's edits to a page of a shared document can be synchronized more frequently when other collaborators are accessing the same page. In contrast, the collaborator's edits to a page of a shared document can be synchronized less frequently when no other collaborators are accessing that page. Further, the manner of the collaborator's presence within the shared document may influence the synchronization rate-collaborating users within an online meeting may synchronize more frequently than a single user who is not actively collaborating with other users. In one implementation, other maintenance activities within the shared document (e.g., garbage collection) may be influenced by the presence information of collaborators within the collaboration environment.
