Collaborative Electronic Document Editing
First Claim
1. A method for collaborative editing, comprising:
- transmitting data adapted to cause a first device and a second device to display a first modification to a document by a first user in a first style associated with the first user, the document having a document style different than the first style, the first device associated with the first user and the second device associated with a second user;
transmitting data adapted to transform a display, on the first device, of the first modification from the first style to the document style based on a first modification parameter associated with the first device; and
transmitting data adapted to transform a display, on the second device, of the first modification from the first style to the document style, based on a second modification parameter associated with the second device.

Abstract
A collaborative editing environment is configured to display a modification to a document made by a user in a first user-style. The style of the modification is gradually transformed from the first user-style to a document-style, such that the style in which the modification is displayed provides an indication as to authorship and recency of the modification. The transformation can occur gradually over a first configurable time period. A second modification to a document made by a second user is displayed in a style associated with the second user. The display of the second modification is also transformed from the second user-style to the document style. The transformation of the display of the first modification and the transformation of the display of the second modification can be performed concurrently, and the duration of the first transformation can be different from the duration of the second transformation.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, that, in response to execution by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
-
transmitting data adapted to cause a first device and a second device to display a first modification to a document by a first user in a first style associated with the first user, the document having a document style different than the first style, the first device associated with the first user and the second device associated with a second user; transmitting data adapted to transform a display, on the first device, of the first modification from the first style to the document style based on a first modification parameter associated with the first device; and transmitting data adapted to transform a display, on the second device, of the first modification from the first style to the document style, based on a second modification parameter associated with the second device. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
