METHOD FOR VISUAL DIFFERENCING WITH ATTRIBUTION

摘要

Art stream commands comprising gestures, drawing state, and attribution information are received from one or more clients participating in a collaboration session. The art stream commands enable the rendering of and provide source control for a visual document. Attribution for visual differences may be provided. Each of the one or more clients may rewind and play back the art stream commands to provide a detailed understanding of what was contributed by whom. All changes and image variations are non-destructive.
