Multi-domain co-browsing utilizing localized state management

A method for improving multi-domain co-browsing comprising:

• receiving a request for a Uniform Resource Locator (URI) associated with a first co-browsing application, wherein the URI is a fully qualified domain name of a Domain Name System hierarchy (DNS), wherein the URI shares a common domain name with a historic URI, wherein the first co-browsing application is associated with a co-browsing session, wherein the co-browsing session is associated with a state artifact, wherein the first co-browsing application is associated with a client computing device;
• identifying state information of the state artifact associated with the first co-browsing application, wherein the state information is at least one of a session identifier and a domain;
• and
• replicating the state information of the state artifact to a second co-browsing application by modifying a second co-browsing application state artifact with the state information, wherein the second co-browsing application is associated with a different computing device.

A method for improved multi-domain co-browsing comprising:

• identifying a master and a slave computing devices within a co-browsing session, wherein the master and slave devices are associated with a first Unified Resource Identifier (URI), wherein at least a portion of the URI is a fully qualified domain name of a Domain Name System (DNS) hierarchy, wherein the master and slave computing devices are associated with a co-browsing application;
• detecting a request associated with a second URI from the master computing device, wherein the second URI shares a root domain with the first URI;
• conveying at least a portion of a master artifact associated with the master computing device to the slave computing device, wherein the master artifact is associated with state information of the co-browsing session;
• modifying at least a portion of a slave artifact linked to the slave computing device with the portion of the master artifact, wherein the master artifact and slave artifact is an Hypertext Transport Protocol (HTTP) cookie;
• maintaining the same state information for the master computing device to the slave computing device associated with the co-browsing session;
• and navigating the master and slave computing devices to the second URI in response to request.
