Embodiment Construction

[0036] Various embodiments of the present disclosure are discussed in detail below. While specific embodiments are discussed, it should be understood that this is done for illustration purposes only. A person skilled in the relevant art will recognize that other components and configurations may be used without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. The present disclosure addresses the need in the art for improved methods of sharing and storing data in cloud-based computing environments.

[0037] 1. Overview of cloud computing environment

[0038] Cloud computing is Internet-based computing in which various resources are hosted and / or controlled by an entity and made available to authorized users through the entity via the Internet. An exemplary cloud computing system configuration 100 is in figure 1 , where a variety of electronic devices can communicate via a network to exchange content and other data. The system can be configured for various net...

Abstract

A cloud computing system can be used to facilitate data item sharing and collaboration among groups of users through the creation and management of collections. A group of users, each of which is associated with at least one client device, can subscribe to a collection. A subscribed user can create a data item locally on a client device and assign the data item to a collection. In response to the assignment, each user subscribed to the collection can receive and store a copy of the data item locally on a client device. Any modifications made to a local copy of the data item can automatically be distributed to each subscribed user's client device. The modifications, including conflicting modifications, can be merged into the local copy.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This patent application claims priority to U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 13 / 473,575, filed May 16, 2012, entitled "CLOUD-BASED DATA ITEM SHARING AND COLLABORATION AMONG GROUPS OF USERS," which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this article. Background technique [0003] 1. Technical field [0004] The present disclosure relates to cloud computing, and more particularly to cloud-based sharing and collaboration of data items among groups of users. [0005] 2. Introduction [0006] One popular service provided by some cloud computing systems is the ability to share files, such as word processing documents, spreadsheets, or a set of slides for presentations. Currently, cloud computing systems are offering two general variants of cloud-based sharing features. In a first variant, users can create documents using cloud-based applications. The user can then provide access to the document to ot...
