Embodiment Construction

[0014] As briefly mentioned above, online document edits can be synchronized by controlling revisions at the document component level through the use of locking actions. A document can be transformed into a graph of document components. Declare locks on components to manage changes submitted by multiple users. Changes in the diagram components can be tracked by maintaining a revision of the diagram to include edits at the component level of the document for each co-author's edits. In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof and which show by way of illustration various specific embodiments or examples. These aspects may be combined, other aspects may be utilized, and structural changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Accordingly, the following detailed description is not intended to be limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their...

Abstract

Online documents services are provided by application servers for editing by users. Documents are stored in component based structures in an application server's local memory to provide granularity in coauthoring and conflict resolution. Component level locking is utilized to minimize simultaneous user edit based conflicts and also to show presence of other users. Component based structure revisions are stored to capture component edits and synchronize upon document save actions. When edits are saved by one or more clients to the server, they can be saved to the current version of the server document, even if that document has changed from the version used to create the current representation on the client.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to synchronous operations, and more particularly to synchronous online document editing. Background technique [0002] Web applications provide various services and data to users through the network. Data is collected, processed and stored in various locations. The web application retrieves this data, formats it for presentation, and provides it to the browsing application on the client device for presentation of the web page. Certain web pages may be static where this data is non-interactive. Other web pages may provide some interactivity, such as additional information, through links or web module-based activations. In general, however, web pages present data in a format and amount determined by the author of the web page. [0003] Online document applications provide users with document editing and viewing capabilities that until recently were limited to the domain of thick client applications. Technological advanc...
