Systems and Methods for Cloud-based Data Exchange, Synchronous Interaction, and Generating User Interfaces

A cloud-based computing system for an exchange and processing of data and updating a graphical user interface based thereon to display, the system comprising:

• a computing network;
• a first remote computing device, the first remote computing device having a computer processor operably coupled to a memory or a programmable processor and also a display for displaying the graphical user interface;
• an application implemented on the first remote computing device, wherein when the application is activated, the application uses the computer processor to generate the graphical user interface on the first remote computing device;
• a remote cloud-based computing system that is operably in communication via the Internet to the first remote computing device and one or more data sources, wherein data is received at the remote cloud-based computing system from the one or more data sources over the Internet, the remote cloud-based computing system comprising a plurality of servers and data storage devices that stores the data,
• wherein at the cloud-based computing system:
• when the first remote computing device is offline, transmitting a communication to a wireless communication device associated with the first remote computing device, the communication indicating that the data has been received at the remote cloud-based computing system for updating the graphical user interface of the first remote computing device;
• when the first remote computing device subsequently comes online and is synched to the remote cloud-based computing system, automatically transmitting the data over the Internet to the first remote computing device;
• and
• wherein in response to receiving at the first remote computing device the data from the cloud-based computing system, causing the application to interact with the received data to change, using a processor of the first remote computing device, the graphical user interface of the first remote computing device based on the received data.
