Technology Overview
This technology introduces a novel approach to managing undo and redo commands within synchronous collaborative software applications, particularly in CAD systems. It aims to solve the critical issue of syntactic reference invalidation and semantic conflicts that arise during collaborative work. By implementing a method to check for potential conflicts before executing undo commands, this invention ensures the reliability and integrity of the model, even in complex dependency scenarios.
Key Advantages
- Prevents syntactic reference invalidation and semantic conflicts effectively
- Ensures model integrity and reliability in collaborative environments
- Improves the efficiency and accuracy of undo and redo operations
- Applicable to a wide range of synchronous collaborative software applications
Problems Addressed
- Objects becoming invalid due to dependencies between model objects in undo operations
- Lack of comprehensive dependency checking in collaborative environments
- Errors and inconsistencies in model data during collaborative work
Market Applications
- Computer-Aided Design (CAD) systems
- Synchronous collaborative software applications
- Software development tools with collaborative features
- Enterprise solutions requiring robust undo/redo functionality in collaborative settings
