Abstract: One aspect provides a system for cooperative application control. In one embodiment, the system includes a cloud application engine and a cloud interaction engine embodied in at least one server of the system. The cloud application engine is configured to execute the application and generate a video stream of the application. The cooperative interaction engine is configured to: receive the video stream of the application from the cloud application engine; multicast a view of the video stream to multiple clients connected to the cooperative interaction engine, the multiple clients corresponding to multiple users cooperatively interacting with the application on a shared workpiece; receive multiple separate response streams from the multiple clients; combine the multiple separate response streams into a joint response stream; and transmit the joint response stream to the cloud application engine which handles the joint response stream as a single response stream from a single user.

Abstract: A system for cooperative application control. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a cloud application engine for executing application code configured to allow interaction with an application, generate a video stream corresponding to a particular user and accept a response stream from the particular user to allow the particular user to interact with the application and (2) a cooperative interaction engine associated with the cloud application engine for communication therewith and configured to multicast the video stream from the cloud application engine to the particular user and at least one other user, combine separate response streams from the particular user and the at least one other user into a joint response stream and provide the joint response stream to the cloud application engine.

Abstract: A system for cooperative game control. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a cloud game engine for executing game code configured to create a game, generate a video stream corresponding to a particular player and accept a response stream from the particular player to allow the particular player to play the game and (2) a cooperative play engine associated with the cloud game engine for communication therewith and configured to multicast the video stream from the cloud game engine to the particular player and at least one other player, combine separate response streams from the particular player and the at least one other player into a joint response stream and provide the joint response stream to the cloud game engine.

Abstract: A system for multi-client control of a common avatar is provided herein. The system includes, for example, a cloud game engine and a cooperative play engine associated with the cloud game engine and configured to multicast a video stream from the cloud game engine to multiple players, combine separate response streams from the multiple players into a joint response stream based on avatar functions contained therein and provide the joint response stream to the cloud game engine.
