Abstract
A method for operating a computing system is provided. The method includes at a local computing device and while an ink input is occurring, rendering a local uncommitted ink stroke on a local display based on the ink input and sending uncommitted ink data corresponding to the uncommitted ink stroke to a remote computing device, the uncommitted ink data including an uncommitted ink stroke path and a global unique identifier differentiating the uncommitted ink data from other uncommitted ink data corresponding to different computing devices and ink inputs. The method further includes responsive to receiving an ink stroke commitment input, rendering a local committed ink stroke on the local display and sending committed ink data including an ink commitment command and the global unique identifier associated with the uncommitted ink stroke path to the remote computing device.
