Abstract
A view multiplexer, a viewing infrastructure and a method of multiplexing a view for use with a service application. In one embodiment, the viewing infrastructure includes a service application, a communications network coupled to the service application, a plurality of viewers coupled to the network and a view multiplexer coupled to both the service application and the communications network. A service coordinator of the view multiplexer simulates a single representative viewer from the plurality of viewers to the service application. A state collaborator, which is coupled to the service coordinator of the view multiplexer, provides a network state to the plurality of viewers.
