Systems and methods for dynamically creating collaborative teams and managing collaborative work of a team are generally disclosed herein. One example embodiment includes the dynamic creation of a collaborative team by creating an association between team members via a managing module. The managing module may be capable of managing, among other things, team members on a team, tasks and goals of each member of the team, as well as documentation associated with the team. In some embodiments, the managing module may use a chat or messaging protocol to manage collaborative modifications to documents of the team.

Management of collaborative teams

Methods and systems may involve receiving metadata associated with an activity of a user with respect to a first device, and capturing discovery content from one or more media sources based on the metadata. In addition, the discovery content and the metadata may be presented to the user via a second device.

Use of real-time metadata to capture and display discovery content

Systems and methods may provide for implementing a dynamic search service. In one example, the method may include receiving information relating to a topic of interest to a user, analyzing the information to determine a search parameter, conducting a coordinated search of content utilizing a plurality of device, generating and gathering results of a coordinated search from the plurality of devices, and generating a result communication including at least one result of the coordinated search.

Dynamic search service

Methods and systems may involve identifying metadata associated with a local application, and using an operating system-independent chat protocol to pass the metadata to a remote application. The metadata may include information to be presented to a user of a device executing the remote application, information to be used to locate more information for presentation to the user of the other device, information to be used to coordinate operation of multiple devices, and so forth. In one example, the metadata is passed using a protocol such as XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol).

Metadata driven collaboration between applications and web services

Techniques and configurations for streaming metadata between devices are disclosed herein. In one example embodiment, streaming textual data, for example subtitles or closed caption data, are provided from a consumer television or set top box (STB) platform to a tablet computer platform. XMPP and BOSH are used as infrastructural components to help establish the client/server connection between the platforms. These components also maintain this connection and support real-time communications and transfer of data between the platforms. In an example embodiment, an application on the primary platform has a string of metadata which is communicated to a client application on a second platform. For example, client application may be a smart phone app in the form of an HTML5 app running on browser. The system may stream and control bi-directionally. In this architecture an XMPP-implementing JavaScript library allows XMPP client interaction through an XML stanza.
