Methods for using interactive huddle sessions and sub-applications

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, by an authentication module of a huddle management server, a user credential of a first user transmitted from a computing device of the first user;
• authenticating, by the authentication module of the huddle management server, the user credential of the first user;
• determining, by the authentication module of the huddle management server, which huddle collaboration files are associated with the first user;
• granting, by the authentication module of the huddle management server, access to the first user for the huddle collaboration files associated with the first user upon authentication of the user credential;
• receiving, by a data processing module of the huddle management server, a selection by the user of a huddle collaboration file associated with the first user;
• designating, by the data processing module of the huddle management server, the selected huddle collaboration file as an active huddle;
• receiving, by the authentication module of the huddle management server, a user credential of a second user transmitted from a computing device of the second user;
• authenticating, by the authentication module of the huddle management server, the user credential of the second user;
• determining, by the authentication module of the huddle management server, which huddle collaboration files are associated with the second user;
• granting, by the authentication module of the huddle management server, access to the second user for the huddle collaboration files associated with the second user upon authentication of the user credential;
• determining, by the authentication module of the huddle management server, whether any of the huddle collaboration files associated with the second user are designated as an active huddle;
• identifying, by a data processing module of the huddle management server, at least two sub-applications associated with the selected collaboration file designated as the active huddle;
• instructing, by the data processing module of the huddle management server, execution of each of the at least two sub-applications associated with the selected collaboration file, wherein each of the sub-applications dynamically queries a database for data records associated with the first and second users;
• presenting, by the data processing module of the huddle management server, a graphical representation of the selected huddle collaboration file on the computing device of the first user, wherein the graphical representation comprises an initial view of the at least two sub-applications having a first set of information for each of the at least two sub-applications simultaneously displayed in the graphical representation;
• simultaneously presenting, by the data processing module of the huddle management server, a synchronized version of the selected huddle collaboration file on a computing device of the second user located remotely from the computing device of the first user, wherein the graphical representation comprises the initial view of the at least two sub-applications having the first set of information for each of the at least two sub-applications simultaneously displayed in the graphical representation;
• upon receiving a selection of one of the at least two sub-applications from the computing device of the first user or the computing device of the second user,
• presenting, by the data processing module of the huddle management server, a second graphical representation of the selected huddle collaboration file on the computing device of the first user, wherein the second graphical representation comprises a second view of the selected sub-application having a second set of information associated with the selected sub-application displayed in the second graphical representation;
• and
• simultaneously presenting, by the data processing module of the huddle management server, the second graphical representation of the selected huddle collaboration file on the computing device of the second user, wherein the second graphical representation comprises the second view of the selected sub-application having the second set of information associated with the selected sub-application displayed in the second graphical representation;
• and
• upon receiving input data from an input device of the computing device of the first user or the second user directed to an electronic address associated with the selected sub-application, updating, by the data processing module of the huddle management server, the database accessed by the selected sub-application and dynamically display the second graphical user interface simultaneously to the computing device of the first user and the computing device of the second user reflecting the updated database.
