Abstract

A client module of an object state storage is configured to identify a live object at a client. The client module is further configured to receive an update message for the live object from storage, the update message is stored by an object ID associated with the live object, and the update message allowing the property to be updated for the live object at the client in real-time. The client module is further configured to transmit the update message for the live object to the client.

Claims

1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon for updating a property of a live object at a client, the instructions when executed causing a processor to perform operations comprising:

identifying the live object at the client;

receiving object data associated with the live object of the client;

extracting an object ID from the object data;

receiving an update message for the live object from an object state storage, wherein the object state storage is located on a dynamic content routing network and is configured to store the update message, the object state storage is configured to verify that the update message is from a valid source, the update message is stored by the object ID associated with the live object, and the update message allowing the property to be updated for the live object at the client in real-time; and

processing the update message.

2. The computer readable storage medium of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise transmitting the update message to the client.

3. The computer readable storage medium of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise authenticating the client.

4. The computer readable storage medium of claim 3, wherein the authenticating the client comprises receiving client'"'"'s credentials from the client.

5. The computer readable storage medium of claim 3, wherein the authenticating the client comprises receiving a token from the client, wherein the token represents client'"'"'s successful authentication with a node within the dynamic content routing network.

6. The computer readable storage medium of claim 1, wherein the update message is stored in a data structure configured to provide fast access.

7. The computer readable storage medium of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise receiving a second update message, the second update message allowing the property to be updated for the live object.

8. The computer readable storage medium of claim 1, wherein the object ID identifies a point in a document object model.

9. The computer readable storage medium of claim 1, wherein the object ID comprises a provider ID.

10. A hardware-based dynamic content routing network comprising:

means for identifying a live object at a client;

means for receiving object data associated with the live object of the client;

means for extracting an object ID from the object data;

means for receiving an update message for the live object from an object state storage, wherein the object state storage is located on a dynamic content routing network and is configured to store the update message, the object state storage is configured to verify that the update message is from a valid source, the update message is stored by the object ID associated with the live object, and the update message allowing the property to be updated for the live object at the client in real-time; and

means for processing the update message.

11. The hardware-based dynamic content routing network of claim 10, further comprising:

means for retrieving the update message from the storage device based on the object ID.

12. The hardware-based dynamic content routing network of claim 10, wherein the update message is stored in a data structure configured to provide fast access.

13. The hardware-based dynamic content routing network of claim 10, wherein the means for receiving the update message is configured to determine whether to store the update message.

14. The hardware-based dynamic content routing network of claim 10, wherein the object ID comprises a provider ID.

15. The hardware-based dynamic content routing network of claim 10, further comprising means for authenticating the clients.

16. The hardware-based dynamic content routing network of claim 10, further comprising means for authenticating the clients that comprises means for receiving client'"'"'s credentials from the clients.

17. The hardware-based dynamic content routing network of claim 16, further comprising means for receiving tokens from the clients, wherein the tokens represent the clients'"'"' successful authentications with a node.
