SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONVERGENT DOCUMENT COLLABORATION

摘要

A computing device includes a processor that carries out actions comprising: storing a causal tree structure corresponding to a document, where the causal tree structure includes a sequence of editing instructions and each editing instruction is assigned an identifier unique to such editing instruction. The method further includes receiving a user editing instruction for the document, where the user editing instruction is assigned an identifier unique to the user editing instruction. The method includes storing the user editing instruction and the identifier assigned to the user editing instruction as an additional node to the causal tree structure. The method further includes broadcasting, to a plurality of client devices, the user editing instruction and the identifier assigned to the user editing instruction.

1. A computing device comprising a processor, wherein the processor is configured to carry out a method comprising:
storing, in a memory of the computing device, a causal tree structure corresponding to a document, wherein the causal tree structure comprises a sequence of editing instructions and each editing instruction is assigned an identifier unique to such editing instruction; receiving a user editing instruction for the document, wherein the user editing instruction is assigned an identifier unique to the user editing instruction; storing the user editing instruction and the identifier assigned to the user editing instruction as an additional node to the causal tree structure; and broadcasting, to one or more client devices connected to the computing device, the user editing instruction and the identifier assigned to the user editing instruction.
