ABSTRACT:
Systems, apparatus and methods for supporting multiple-party communications between a plurality of client computers in communication with a server are disclosed. A client processor circuit receives at least one of a user input signal, and a function invocation signal representing a function invocation, and produces and transmits to the server a message having a message type associated with one of a plurality of pre-defined combinations of the user input signal and the function invocation signal. A server processor circuit receives the message from the client computer, produces an output message representing the user input provided by the message, determines a message type associated with the message, and transmits the output message to each of the client computers when the input message is associated with a persistent message type, and ones of the client computers that meet a criterion when the input message is associated with a non-persistent message type.
