  • Patent number: 7516132
    Abstract: A mechanism is disclosed for enabling a plurality of nodes on a network to collaboratively share a file. In one implementation, each node maintains its own copy of the file, and each node may make updates to its copy of the file. Whenever a node does update the contents of a region of the file, that node sends out an update message. The update message comprises the updated content for the region that has been updated. The update message is forwarded to each of the other nodes. When each of the other nodes receives the update message, it updates its copy of the file with the updated content for the region. In this manner, the file is kept in sync on each of the nodes, and the user on each node is able to see changes made by users on the other nodes. Collaboration among the users is thus achieved.
