  • Patent number: 11977585
    Abstract: A system and method for collaborative activity support is provided. A server establishes a collaboration place that is accessible by a plurality of remote clients and supports a plurality of collaboration activities. The server can be configured to provide primary display data to each of a plurality of client computers associated with the authorized users simultaneously accessing the collaboration place to cause each of the plurality of clients to display the primary display data in a primary display of a corresponding collaboration place interface. Responsive to detecting a request from a first collaboration place interface at a first client computer of the plurality of client computers to include a secondary display with the primary display in the corresponding collaboration place interface, wherein the secondary display is configured to display collaboration place data associated with a different collaborative activity than the primary display prior to escalation.

  • Patent number: 10817572
    Abstract: In some embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods provide a client-server infrastructure capable of supporting a variety of asynchronous and synchronous collaboration activities in a so-called collaboration place. Some of these activities include chatting, viewing and/or editing one or more data files, and sharing one or more applications, data files, and/or displays. The client-server infrastructure supports seamless navigation between the supported asynchronous and synchronous activities in the collaboration place. Additionally, the client-server architecture supports data persistence, so that data files associated with the collaboration place can be stored for subsequent access.

  • Patent number: 10108613
    Abstract: A system and method for collaborative activity support is provided. A server establishes a collaboration place that is accessible by a plurality of remote clients and supports a plurality of collaboration activities. Data is generated based on at least one event associated with a collaborative activity and stored as a content item. The content item is accessed to generate at least a portion of the searchable attributes of the data based on the contents of the content item. The server enables a first client data connection from a first client computer to the data to provide a first client user access to the data and a second client data connection from a second client computer to the data to provide a second client user access to the data and the searchable attributes of the data.
