US 2017/0289263 A1 · System and Methods for Facilitating Communication Among a Subset of Connections that Connect to a Web Application

Abstract

A method for facilitating communication among web connections connecting to a web application is disclosed. The method includes receiving an indication that a web connection to a web application is established, determining if the web connection is a potential host or a potential client connection. The method includes creating a connection group having members that include at least one of the host and the client connection; allowing the members of the connection group to communicate with each other by receiving a request from at least one of the host and the client connection for a message to be communicated to the members of the connection group; and sending the message received from the at least one of the host and the client connection to the members of the connection group.
