Synchronizing document markup modifications across multiple devices
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12001778B2) outlines a method and system for synchronizing document markup modifications across multiple devices. The method involves subscribing to events in a document markup application, receiving notifications of modifications, generating markup objects, and transmitting them to other devices. These markup objects are then translated into PDF dictionary objects for display on different devices. The system includes processors and computer-readable instructions to execute the synchronization process, ensuring real-time collaboration and display of modified document markups across various devices.
Furthermore, the patent details the involvement of servers in transmitting markup and PDF dictionary objects between devices, particularly in determining the type of document markup application on the receiving end. The method also includes storing markup objects in databases and utilizing JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) objects for synchronization. The system is designed for web-based document markup applications, emphasizing the seamless sharing and display of modified document markups during collaboration sessions. Overall, the patent highlights a comprehensive approach to synchronizing document markup modifications across a diverse range of devices, enhancing collaboration and efficiency in document editing processes.
