PROTOCOLS FOR INTERACTING WITH CONTENT VIA MULTIPLE DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

A method of allowing multiple devices to collaborate with content data is presented. The multiple devices can establish an interactive collaboration session via a multimedia protocol. The multimedia protocol allows users of the devices to share chat data, audio data, video data, or other types of data as they collaborate. Additionally, the users of the device can manipulate the content data in shared fashion by submitting one or more asynchronous commands. The commands are multiplexed into the multimedia protocol in a transparent manner. The devices within the group can extract the commands without disrupting the collaboration experience and then execute the commands to affect the content data.
