Intelligent management of content related to objects displayed within communication sessions

A method for execution on a computing device, comprising:

• receiving input data indicating a position for a content object to be displayed in association with an object rendered on one or more computing devices of a communication session;
• generating a data structure defining an association between the content object and the object, the position of the content object and a position of the object, characteristics of the object content and characteristics of the object, one or more permissions for applying an operation to the content object or the object;
• receiving an input invoking the operation causing the content object or the object to be communicated to a remote computing device participating in a second communication session;
• in response to detecting that the operation is to be applied to the content object, applying the operation to the content object and replicating the operation to the object based on the one or more permissions defined in the data structure for applying an operation to the content object or the object and allowing the object to be communicated to the remote computing device participating in the second communication session, wherein the operation applied to the content object is further applied to at least one associated object based on the one or more permissions defined in the data structure allowing the object to be graphically moved with the content object;
• and
• in response to detecting that the operation is to be applied to the object, applying the operation to the object and replicating the operation to the content object based on the one or more permissions defined in the data structure for applying an operation to the content object or the object and allowing the content object to be communicated to the remote computing device participating in the second communication session, wherein the operation applied to the object is further applied to at least one associated content object based on the one or more permissions defined in the data structure allowing the content object to be graphically moved with the object.

A method for creating and tracking associations between a content object and an object, comprising:

• receiving input data indicating a position for the content object to be displayed in association with the object rendered on one or more computing devices of a communication session;
• generating a data structure defining the association between the content object and the object, the position of the content object and a position of the object, characteristics of the object content and characteristics of the object, and one or more permissions for applying an operation to the content object or the object;
• detecting an input indicating the operation to graphically move the content object or the object;
• in response to detecting that the operation is to be applied to the content object, applying the operation to the content object and replicating the operation to the object based on the one or more permissions defined in the data structure allowing the object to be graphically moved with the content object, wherein the operation applied to the content object is further applied to at least one associated object based on the one or more permissions defined in the data structure allowing the object to be graphically moved with the content object;
• and
• in response to detecting that the operation is to be applied to the object, applying the operation to the object and replicating the operation to the content object based on the one or more permissions defined in the data structure allowing the content object to be graphically moved with the object, wherein the operation applied to the object is further applied to at least one associated content object based on the one or more permissions defined in the data structure allowing the content object to be graphically moved with the object.
