SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COOPERATIVE APPLICATION CONTROL

Abstract:

One aspect provides a system for cooperative application control. In one embodiment, the system includes a cloud application engine and a cloud interaction engine embodied in at least one server of the system. The cloud application engine is configured to execute the application and generate a video stream of the application. The cooperative interaction engine is configured to: receive the video stream of the application from the cloud application engine; multicast a view of the video stream to multiple clients connected to the cooperative interaction engine, the multiple clients corresponding to multiple users cooperatively interacting with the application on a shared workpiece; receive multiple separate response streams from the multiple clients; combine the multiple separate response streams into a joint response stream; and transmit the joint response stream to the cloud application engine which handles the joint response stream as a single response stream from a single user.
