    Abstract: A group communications platform facilitates that sharing of an application environment with other users. The platform may receive a request to initiate a group session for a local user and a remote user. An out-of-process network connection with a system communication channel between a local computing device associated with the local user and a remote computing device associated with the remote user may be established for the group session. A system call may be received from a local instance of a first application on the local computing device to transfer local data to a remote instance of the first application on the remote computing device via the out-of-process network connection. The local data may be transferred to the remote instance of the first application on the remote computing device via the out-of-process network connection and the system communication channel. The local data may include state data of the local instance of the first application for updating a state of the remote instance of the first application.

    Abstract: A device implementing the subject technology may include at least one processor configured to transmit an allocation request requesting allocation of a group communication session with a plurality of devices and receive an allocation response in response to the allocation request, the allocation response including credential information for the device to use to join the group communication session. The at least one processor may be further configured to transmit an allocation bind request with the credential information to join the group communication session using the credential information and receive an allocation bind success response in response to the allocation bind request, the allocation bind success response indicating that the device has joined the group communication session. The at least one processor may be further configured to provide a join notification to the plurality of devices via an intermediary device to notify that the device has joined the group communication session.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided for managing communication of data to/from a device. For example, multiple client applications running on the device can communicate to a second device through a same primary socket connection. A mux module can receive data from two different client applications over respective client connections. The received data can include header information identifying the second device as the destination. When the first data from a first client application is received at the mux module, the primary socket connection can be created; and when the second data from a second client application is received, the existing primary socket connection can be identified and re-used. The primary socket connection can be managed by a controller of the mux module.

    Abstract translation: 提供了用于管理与/或从设备的数据通信的方法,系统和装置。 例如,在设备上运行的多个客户端应用程序可以通过相同的主套接字连接与第二个设备进行通信。 多路复用器模块可以通过相应的客户端连接从两个不同的客户端应用程序接收数据。 所接收的数据可以包括标识作为目的地的第二设备的报头信息。 当在多路复用器模块处接收到来自第一客户端应用程序的第一个数据时,可以创建主套接字连接; 并且当接收到来自第二客户端应用的第二数据时,可以识别和重新使用现有的主套接字连接。 主套接字连接可以由多路复用器模块的控制器进行管理。
