Abstract:
1. A method for persisting cobrowsing annotations amongst a plurality of cobrowsing sessions, wherein each of the cobrowsing sessions permit a plurality of users to jointly navigate to a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), the plurality of cobrowsing sessions comprise a first cobrowsing session and a subsequent cobrowsing session, the method comprising: receiving a request to navigate to the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) within the subsequent cobrowsing session wherein each of the first and the subsequent cobrowsing sessions is associated with a unique session identifier, wherein each of the first and the subsequent cobrowsing sessions is associated with a cobrowsing application, wherein the cobrowsing application is a portion of a collaboration software; automatically retrieving a cobrowsing annotation that was automatically persisted when the first cobrowsing session was terminated, wherein the cobrowsing annotation was previously associated with the URI from the first cobrowsing session that is a historic cobrowsing session; obtaining content associated with the URI and presenting the obtained content on a plurality of interfaces associated with the subsequent cobrowsing session; and automatically presenting the cobrowsing annotation within the content associated with the URI on at least one interface amongst the plurality of interfaces associated with the subsequent cobrowsing session.
