  • Patent number: 10404700
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for multi-user, at least partially concurrent, electronic circuit design. Embodiments may include storing a lock list at a client computing device, wherein the lock list includes objects associated with an electronic design that have been locked or unlocked. Embodiments may further include receiving a user input corresponding to a lock/unlock request associated with an object of the design, wherein the design is accessible by multiple users in an at least partially concurrent manner. Embodiments may include transmitting the lock/unlock request to a server computing device. Embodiments may further include comparing the user input corresponding to at least one of the lock request or unlock request with the lock list and determining whether to lock or unlock the object based upon, at least in part, the comparison, wherein determining does not include receiving server authorization.

  • Patent number: 9721052
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for multi-user, at least partially concurrent, electronic circuit design. Embodiments may include displaying, at a first client computing device associated with a first user, at least a portion of an electronic circuit design, wherein the electronic circuit design is accessible by multiple users in an at least partially concurrent manner. Embodiments may further include processing a command at the first client computing device from the first user and receiving a temporary update from a server computing device, wherein the temporary update corresponds to a second user associated with a second client computing device. Embodiments may also include displaying, at the first client computing device, an operation corresponding to the received temporary update.

  • Patent number: 9684750
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for multi-user, at least partially concurrent, electronic circuit design. Embodiments may include receiving, at a client computing device, a user input corresponding to a change to an electronic circuit design, wherein the electronic circuit design is accessible by multiple users in an at least partially concurrent manner. Embodiments may also include implementing the change to the electronic circuit design at the client computing device without receiving authorization from a server computing device and transmitting the implemented change to the electronic circuit design to the server computing device.
