Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for creating shared virtual spaces (“rooms”). A room may be created when a user first shares images with another user. A user may send a request to a content management system to share one or more images with various contacts. In response, a room is created by the content management system in which a copy of each image is stored. Images added to a room are copied to a separate “rooms” database, and “locked,” being saved in the room for a period of time, which may be indefinitely. Changes made by the user to a room via a user device may be displayed as soon as indicated, without waiting for the information to be sent to a system server or its state to be made consistent with that of the user device. Room activity notifications may be sent to members in various ways.

Abstract: A user device has a processing module and a UI module. The processing module may have a permanent connection to the UI module, and an intermittent connection to a content management system over a data network. User requested actions are executed within the UI module. For each such action, a parallel request is sent to the content management system when network connectivity allows. Results of the user requested actions are presented within the UI module as if they had been implemented on the content management system. The user may thus interact with content as if all user requested actions have occurred substantially simultaneously with the request. When network connectivity allows, confirmation is received in the processing module from the content management system that the actions have been implemented, and the state of the user requested actions in the UI module is matched with that on the content management system.

Abstract translation: 用户设备具有处理模块和UI模块。 处理模块可以具有到UI模块的永久连接，以及通过数据网络与内容管理系统的间歇连接。 用户请求的操作在UI模块中执行。 对于每个这样的动作，当网络连接允许时，并发请求被发送到内容管理系统。 用户请求的操作的结果在UI模块中呈现，就像它们已经在内容管理系统上实现一样。 因此，用户可以如同所有用户请求的动作都与请求基本上同时发生的那样与内容交互。 当网络连接允许时，在来自内容管理系统的处理模块中接收到已经实施动作的确认，并且UI模块中用户请求的动作的状态与内容管理系统上的动作相匹配。
