  • Replicating data using a replication server of a multi-user system
    Patent number: 11537629
    Abstract: A context-driven multi-user system may include distributed computing resource(s) that replicate proper subset(s) of user-relevant context data to computing device(s). A replication server may receive an update record corresponding to stored context data and determine propagation records based at least in part thereon. Each propagation record may correspond to a respective, different proper subset of the context data. The replication server may transmit the propagation records to respective replication clients. A replication client may receive a propagation record and modify local context data in response. The replication client may receive a data record and determine an update record in response and using the local context data. The computing device may transmit the determined update record. A server may receive a query specification referencing a data source and transmit the query specification to a replication client of the multi-user system, the client corresponding to the data source.
