SERVER BASED COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SANDBOXED APPLICATIONS

摘要

A remote server facilitates discovery and communication between multiple applications running in respective sandboxes on the same hardware processing device. The remote server determines that the applications are running on the same processing device based on data received from each of the applications. The determination that the applications are running on the same device may include matching corresponding items of information received in data streams from each the applications. The server then transmits, to one of the applications, the identity of each of the applications that have been determined to be running on the processing device. The server then receives a message from the one of the applications to be delivered to another one of the applications that has been determined to be running on the processing device. The server then transmits the message to said other one of the applications, enabling communication of the message between the applications.
