ACTIONABLE SOUVENIR FROM REAL-TIME SHARING
First Claim
1. One or more computer-readable memories storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors disposed in a device, implement a method for retaining access to content or experiences from a real-time sharing session between two or more participants, comprising:
- generating a sharing history for the real-time sharing session, the generating including monitoring shared content and sharing events that are associated with the real-time sharing session;
utilizing the sharing history to create a souvenir for the real-time sharing session, the souvenir being actionable for providing post-sharing access to content and experiences which maintain the functionalities exposed in the real-time sharing session, the functionalities including at least one of user-generated content, links, or contextually dynamic content;
distributing the souvenir to one or more of the real-time sharing participants over a communications network; and
writing data associated with the actionable souvenir to one or more data stores.

Abstract
A souvenir is provided to enable participants in a real-time sharing session to retain access to the shared content and experiences when the real-time sharing is completed in a fully actionable manner in which all of the functionality and interactivity of the content and experiences are maintained as when they were originally shared. Each of the sharing participants can get a souvenir that can be used to initiate access to the shared content such as a photo or replay an experience such as a telling of a bedtime story. In cases where user generated content (UGC) such as mark-ups, annotations, commentary, content links, highlights, animations, graphics, drawings, directions, points-of-interest, etc., were part of the real-time sharing session—for example, an annotated webpage, a marked-up map, voice commentary over a video recording of a live event, etc.—such UGC can be maintained as part of the post-sharing actionable souvenir experience too.

11. A device, comprising:
-
one or more processors; a display that supports a user interface (UI) for interacting with a device user; and a memory storing computer-readable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, perform a method for sharing content between devices comprising the steps of; enabling content to be selected for sharing during a real-time sharing session, providing tools for creating user-generated content (UGC) to accompany the shared content in the real-time sharing session, receiving an actionable souvenir for the real-time sharing session after the real-time sharing session is completed, and when the actionable souvenir is invoked, rendering a post-sharing local re-creation of the shared content including the UGC on the device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for retaining access to content shared during a real-time session between a local device used by a local participant and a remote device used by a remote participant, the method comprising the steps of:
-
monitoring occurrences of events, and content or experiences shared from the local device, during a real-time sharing session; generating an actionable souvenir for accessing the shared content or experiences after the real-time sharing is completed; sending a message to the remote device over a network, the message including a link to the actionable souvenir; and when the remote party follows the link, implementing a web service with a web service client on the remote device, the web service enabling access at the remote device to the content or shared experiences after the real-time sharing is completed. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
