Problems solved by technology

Although multiple users are allowed to co-author documents, in order to prevent conflicts, the system can limit the area of ​​​​the document that each user can edit
Failure to pass the information associated with these restrictions to other co-authoring users increases the chance of conflicting changes when merging copies of documents

Embodiment Construction

[0010] The present application relates to systems and methods for providing cross-channel consistency of information when merging document data in a network-based document collaboration system. In the disclosed system and method, metadata such as locks for regions of a document are communicated on a metadata channel, while both document content and metadata are communicated on a data channel. The systems and methods disclose prioritization criteria that specify when metadata should be properly applied to documents.

[0011] figure 1 An example system 100 is shown that supports cross-channel consistency when applying metadata to documents. System 100 includes clients 102 , 104 , server 106 and network 108 . More or fewer clients and servers can be used. In this disclosure, the terms client and client computer are used interchangeably, and the terms server and server computer are used interchangeably.

[0012] Among the many pieces of information stored on the client machine...

Abstract

A computing device includes a processing unit, and a memory with instructions that, when executed by the processing unit, cause the processing unit to create: a document processing module that processes the creation and editing of document content; and a metadata processing module that generates, monitors and stores metadata for a document on the computing device, the metadata processing module generating lock creation metadata that include information about a new lock that is created when a user begins to edit a portion of a document, lock removal metadata that includes information about removing a lock, and lock deletion metadata that includes information about deleting a lock, the metadata processing module writing lock creation metadata to both a data channel and to a separate metadata channel, the metadata processing module writing lock removal metadata to the data channel and the metadata processing module writing lock deletion metadata to the metadata channel.

Description

Background technique [0001] Web-based document collaboration systems allow multiple users to simultaneously access and co-author documents. Although multiple users are allowed to co-author documents, in order to prevent conflicts, the system can limit the area of ​​the document that each user can edit. Failure to communicate information associated with these restrictions to other co-authoring users increases the chance of conflicting changes when merging copies of documents. Contents of the invention [0002] Embodiments of this disclosure relate to a computing device that includes a processing unit and a system memory with instructions that, when executed by the processing unit, cause the processing unit to create: a document processing module that handles creation and editing of document content; and a metadata processing module that generates, monitors, and stores metadata for a document on the computing device, the metadata processing module generates lock creation meta...
