A method and system for providing multi-user shared access to service
applications operating in wireless data services such as Wireless
Application Protocol (WAP) is described. An exemplary embodiment of the
present invention comprises a solution that provides a modified
communication pathway that permits mobile clients to join an active
session engaged by other clients. The system comprises a gateway 200 and
a coordinating browser 206 (co-browser) which cooperates with the gateway
subsystem 202 and the WAP subsystem 204 to coordinate and establish
shared sessions between users. When a first client 220 is engaged in an
active session, the co-browser 206 determines that a second client 230
wishes to join the session by analyzing the request containing the
universal resource identifier (URI) transmitted by the second client. The
co-browser enables all peer clients to interact, share, and view updated
content within the application.
