FRAMEWORK TO NOTIFY AND INVITE USERS TO JOIN A COLLABORATIVE SESSION

摘要

A notification framework and method that quickly sends invitations one device to another device to join devices to collaboration session. Devices may be provided with an application that enables a user to register with a registry service. The registry service is provided as a mechanism to enable delivery of a collaboration invitation and joining of participants in the collaborative session. Notification invitations containing a collaboration URL may then be forwarded via a push service to the invited registrants. Each invited registrant is then provided an option to accept invitation and automatically join the session with the user. In another example, the host user may “pass” or “share” a session to an invited registrant rather than having an invited registrant join a session.
