Systems and methods for webpage creation and updating

Abstract

A system for co-authoring web pages includes a data storage configured to store internal content for a web page to be displayed on computer devices and an application server. The application server can retrieve the internal content for the web page from the data storage and send the internal content to a first computer device and a second computer device on which the web page is respectively displayed. The application server can receive input to the web page from a first user using the first computer device and from a second user using the second computer device. The application server can send updated internal content for the web page based the input to the first computer device and the second computer device to allow the web page comprising the input to be displayed in real time on the first computer device and the second computer device.

       2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the input from the first user and the second user comprises text, an image, or a combination of text and an image. 
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the web page is displayed on the first computer device using a web browser application. 
   
   
       4 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a data server in communication with the application server and configured to receive external content for the web page from an external information source. 
   
   
       5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the application server is configured to send the external content to the first computer device and the second computer device to allow the external content to be displayed on the web page over the first computer device and the second computer device. 
   
   
       6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the application server is configured to resolve conflicts between input from the first user and the second user. 
   
   
       7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the application server is configured to resolve conflicts by rejecting at least one input from the first user and the second user. 
   
   
       8 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the application server is configured to resolve the conflicts by accepting the earlier input from the first user and the second user while rejecting the latter input from the first user and the second user. 
   
   
       9 . A system for co-authoring web pages, comprising:
 a data storage configured to store internal content for a web page to be displayed on computer devices;   a data server configured to receive external content for the web page from an external information source; and   an application server configured to communicate with a first computer device operated by a first user and a second computer device operated by a second user through a computer network, wherein the application server is configured to retrieve the internal content for the web page from the data storage and send the internal content to the first computer device and the second computer device on which the web page is respectively displayed, wherein the application server is configured to receive input to the web page from the first user using the first computer device and from the second user using the second computer device, wherein the application server is configured to send updated internal content for the web page based the input to the first computer device and the second computer device to allow the web page comprising the input from the first user and the second user to be displayed in real time on the first computer device and the second computer device, wherein the application server is configured to receive the external content from the data server and send the external content to the first computer device and the second computer device to allow the external content to be displayed on the web page over the first computer device and the second computer device.   
   
   
       10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the input from the first user and the second user comprises text, an image, or a combination of text and an image. 
   
   
       11 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the web page is displayed on the first computer device using a web browser application. 
   
   
       12 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the application server is configured to resolve conflicts between input from the first user and the second user. 
   
   
       13 . A method for co-authoring web pages, comprising storing internal content for a web page by a data storage;
 retrieving the internal content for the web page from the data storage by an application server, the application server being configured to communicate with a first computer device operated by a first user and a second computer device operated by a second user through a computer network;   sending the internal content from the application server to the first computer device and the second computer device to allow the web page comprising the internal content to be displayed on the first computer device and the second computer device;   receiving input to the web page from the first user using the first computer device and from the second user using the second computer device by the application server; and   sending updated internal content for the web page based the input from the application server to the first computer device and the second computer device to allow the web page comprising the input from the first user and the second user to be displayed in real time on the first computer device and the second computer device.   
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising storing the updated internal content for the web page based the input in the data storage. 
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the input from the first user and the second user comprises text, an image, or a combination of text and an image. 
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the web page is displayed on the first computer device using a web browser application. 
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the input to the web page from the first user is entered using the using the web browser application running on the first computer device 
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising receiving external content for the web page from an external information source by a data server in communication with the application server. 
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising sending the external content from the application server to the first computer device and the second computer device to allow the external content to be displayed on the web page over the first computer device and the second computer device. 
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising resolving conflicts between input from the first user and the second user by the application server. 
   
   
       21 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the application server is configured to resolve the conflicts by accepting the earlier input from the first user and the second user while rejecting the latter input from the first user and the second user.
