system and method for multimedia news collaboration

摘要

The present invention relates to a system and method for multimedia messaging system collaboration. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the sender sends a message to multiple recipients (200, 300, 500). A recipient wishing to make a comment or insert changes to the message submits his comments to a moderator for approval (202, 302, 502). If the moderator approves of the changes, then the changes are automatically incorporated into the message (210, 318). The original message is then automatically recalled from recipients who have not yet opened the message and a revised message is automatically sent to those who's messages were recalled (212). Additionally, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a message is automatically sent to those recipients who have already opened the original message to indicate the change to the original message and update those recipients (214).
