Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for sharing electronic content between a plurality of users. The electronic content can be accessed by the users through interactions with a virtual collaborative workspace. The members of a virtual collaborative workspace can be dependent upon the shared electronic content. Certain actions can be asked of various users with regard to the electronic content. Once the action has been performed, the electronic content can be routed to various other users in an automated fashion.
Claims20
A computer-based method of sharing electronic content, the method comprising:
- receiving, by an electronic content sharing system, electronic content, wherein the electronic content is associated with an originator and an electronic action;
- receiving, by the electronic content sharing system, one or more recipients, wherein the one or more recipients are each to individually perform the electronic action;
- providing, by the electronic content sharing system, the electronic content to the one or more recipients, wherein the provided content comprises a request to perform the electronic action;
- when the electronic action is performed by a first subset of one or more recipients:
- updating, by the electronic content sharing system, the electronic content to reflect the performed electronic action;
- providing, by the electronic content sharing system, the updated electronic content to the originator;
- and
- providing, by the electronic content sharing system, the updated electronic content to a second subset of the one or more recipients.
An electronic content sharing computing system for sharing electronic content between a plurality of users, the electronic content sharing computing system comprising one or more processors and one or more memory units, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
- store a first electronic document received from a first user, wherein the first electronic document comprises first metadata identifying:
- a first originator indicator, wherein the first originator indicator identifies the first user;
- and
- a first recipient list, wherein the first recipient list identifies a second user and a third user;
- share the first electronic document with the second user as a second electronic document, wherein the second electronic document comprises second metadata identifying:
- a second originator indicator, wherein the second originator indicator identifies the second user;
- a second recipient list, wherein the second recipient list is automatically populated with:
- the first user as identified by the first originator indicator, and
- the third user as identified by the first recipient list;
- upon completion of an electronic action by the second user;
- automatically share the second electronic document with the first user and the third user as a third electronic document.
A computer-based method of sharing electronic content, the method comprising:
- hosting a user workspace, wherein the user workspaces identifies:
- an electronic document, wherein the electronic documents is selectably sharable with a plurality of workspace members;
- the plurality of workspace members, each having access to the electronic document, wherein the user workspace is centralized around the electronic document;
- and
- when the electronic document is shared with an additional party, increasing the number of workspace members identified by the user workspace.
