System and method to allow anonymous users to contribute multimedia content across multiple digital workspaces

A method for allowing one or more user devices to contribute multimedia data to one or more digital workspaces regardless of geographic locations of the user devices by utilizing one or more servers coupled to the user devices through networks, comprising:

• interfacing with contribution applications installed in the user devices, via a contribution processor implemented in the servers, for authenticating and collecting contribution data, wherein the contribution processor comprises one or more contribution group collections that comprise one or more contribution groups that store the contribution data, wherein the contribution data include any type of data object;
• receiving, via the contribution processor, contribution data from the contribution applications of the user devices, wherein the contribution applications include one or more contribution group collections including one or more contribution groups mapped by the contribution processor, and the contribution data is submitted to the one or more contribution groups of the contribution applications;
• storing the contribution data in corresponding contribution groups of contribution group collections of the contribution processor;
• mapping the contribution group collections and contribution groups of the contribution processor to the one or more digital workspaces of a digital workspace processor implemented in the servers, wherein the digital workspace processor is configured to access the contribution data in the contribution processor via application programing interface (API);
• and
• allowing one or more authenticated user devices to access the contribution data via the digital workspace processor, wherein the contribution data stored in the contribution groups are accessed and used by any of a plurality of different types of digital workspace applications of the authenticated user devices that are allowed to access the one or more digital workspaces to which the contribution groups are mapped.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media implemented in one or more servers coupled to one or more user devices through networks for allowing the user devices to contribute multimedia data to one or more digital workspaces regardless of geographic locations of the user devices, the non-transitory computer readable media including instructions configured to cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• interfacing with contribution applications installed in the user devices, via a contribution processor implemented in the servers, for authenticating and collecting contribution data, wherein the contribution processor comprises one or more contribution group collections that comprise one or more contribution groups that store the contribution data, wherein the contribution data include any type of data object;
• receiving, via the contribution processor, contribution data from the contribution applications of the user devices, wherein the contribution applications include one or more contribution group collections including one or more contribution groups mapped by the contribution processor, and the contribution data is submitted to the one or more contribution groups of the contribution applications;
• storing the contribution data in corresponding contribution groups of contribution group collections of the contribution processor;
• mapping the contribution group collections and contribution groups of the contribution processor to the one or more digital workspaces implemented in the servers, wherein the digital workspace processor is configured to access the contribution data on the contribution processor via application programing interface (API);
• and
• allowing one or more authenticated user devices to access the contribution data via the digital workspace processor, wherein the contribution data stored in the contribution groups are accessed and used by any of a plurality of different types of digital workspace applications of the authenticated user devices that are allowed to access the one or more digital workspaces to which the contribution groups are mapped.
