  • Method and System for Reduced Latency in a Scalable, Multi-User, Publish-Subscribe Architecture
    Publication number: 20220383405
    Abstract: Systems and method may implement a publish/subscribe messaging framework for distributing messages among a plurality of mobile computing devices. A particular “publish/subscribe channel” may be implemented in the context of an auction for one or more items, e.g., collectibles such as trading cards, toys, and/or figurines. The implementation of the publish/subscribe messaging framework may allow for real-time communications of developments in the auction(s) which, in combination with a real-time video stream from a host to a plurality of guests in the channel, amounts to an improved user experience at host devices and guest devices. Additional computing techniques may supplement the implementation of the live auction channel, said computing techniques providing improved scalability for live auction channels comprising hundreds or even thousands of guests.
