Managing multi-application contexts

摘要

A method and system for managing software application states selects a plurality of stateful applications for reinstatement at a later time. A set of data contexts is generated based on the selected applications. The set of data contexts is pushed onto a data stack. Thereafter the set of data contexts is popped from the data stack for reinstatement. Each step or function may be initiated automatically or through user input, and may be used in a single-user, multi-user or collaborative setting.

1. A method for managing software application states, comprising:
selecting a plurality of applications wherein each of the plurality of applications includes a state, and wherein the plurality of applications are accessed collaboratively by a plurality of users; generating a plurality of data contexts based on the selected applications and their respective states for the plurality of users; pushing the plurality of data contexts onto a data stack; and popping the plurality of data contexts from the data stack to reinstate collaborative access by the plurality of users, wherein at least one of the above steps is performed using a program executable by a processor on a computer.
