Abstract

Systems and methods include instantiating an application on first and second display devices. The application includes objects and an integrated wiki module. The integrated wiki module includes object wiki pages associated with the objects. The first display device is controlled to display a control module when an object is displayed thereon and to display an object wiki page in response to receiving a selection of the control module. The object wiki page includes content associated with the object. Instructions are received to change the content included in the object wiki page. The second display device is controlled to display the control module when the object is displayed on the second display device and to display the object wiki page including the changed content in response to receiving a selection of the control module after receiving the instructions to change the content.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
instantiating a first instance of an application on a first display device, the application including a plurality of objects and an integrated wiki module, the integrated wiki module being integrated into the application and including a plurality of object wiki pages;
wherein each of the plurality of object wiki pages are dedicated to a respective one of the plurality of objects and include tutorials regarding how to interact with the respective one of the plurality of objects;
causing the first display device to display a first control module when a first object of the plurality of objects is displayed on the first display device;
causing the first display device to display a first object wiki page of the plurality of object wiki pages in response to receiving a selection of the first control module via the first instance of the application, the first object wiki page including first content associated with the first object;
receiving instructions to change the first content included in the first object wiki page via the first instance of the application, such that the first content becomes changed first content;
instantiating a second instance of the application on a second display device;
causing the second display device to display the first control module when the first object of the plurality of objects is displayed on the second display device; and
causing the second display device to display the first object wiki page including the changed first content in response to receiving a selection of the first control module via the second instance of the application after receiving the instructions to change the first content via the first instance of the application; and
wherein the integrated wiki module further includes a main wiki page, the main wiki page including aggregate information about each object wiki page of the plurality of object wiki pages, and
wherein the method further comprises:
causing the first display device to display the main wiki page in response to instantiating the first instance of the application on the first display device; and
causing the first display device to display the first object wiki page in response to receiving a selection of a piece of the aggregate information in the main wiki page via the first instance of the application, the piece of the aggregate information being related to the first object wiki page.

2. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the changed first content includes a video tutorial recorded by a user of the first display device regarding how to interact with the first object, and
wherein the method further comprises:
recording, using the first display device, the video tutorial;
causing the first display device to display a second control module when the first instance of the application is instantiated on the first display device;
causing the first display device to display the main wiki page in response to receiving a selection of the second control module via the first instance of the application; and
causing the first display device to display the first object wiki page in response to receiving a selection of a piece of the aggregate information in the main wiki page via the first instance of the application, the piece of the aggregate information being related to the first object wiki page.

3. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the method further comprises:
causing the first display device to display the main wiki page;
receiving a search command via the search module included in the main wiki page displayed on the first display;
searching the aggregate information and compiling a list of object wiki pages based on the search command; and
causing the first display device to display the list of object wiki pages that was compiled based on the search command.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein each object wiki page of the plurality of object wiki pages includes content associated with a respective object of the plurality of objects, such that a number of object wiki pages in the plurality of object wiki pages is greater than or equal to the number of objects in the application.

5. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the first content of the first object wiki page includes a link to the first object, and
wherein the method further comprises:
causing the first display to display the first object when the link to the first object included in the first content of the first object wiki page is selected via the first instance of the application.

6. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the first content of the first object wiki page includes a link to a second object wiki page of the plurality of object wiki pages, the second object wiki page including second content associated with a second object of the plurality of objects, and
wherein the method further comprises:
causing the first display to display the second object wiki page when the link to the second object wiki page included in the first content of the first object wiki page is selected via the first instance of the application.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first content includes hypertext markup language content and graphical content.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
authenticating a user profile accessing the first instance of the application;
causing the first display device to display a private control module associated with the user profile in response to authenticating the user profile when the first object of the plurality of objects is displayed on the first display device; and
causing the first display device to display a private object wiki page of the plurality of object wiki pages associated with the user profile in response to receiving a selection of the private control module via the first instance of the application, the private object wiki page including private content associated with the first object that is accessible only by the user profile.

9. A computer program product comprising:
a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:
computer readable program code configured to instantiate a first instance of an application on a first display device, the application including a plurality of objects and an integrated wiki module, the integrated wild module being integrated into the application and including a plurality of object wild pages associated with the plurality of objects;
computer readable program code configured to cause the first display device to display a first control module when a first object of the plurality of objects is displayed on the first display device;
computer readable program code configured to cause the first display device to display a first object wiki page of the plurality of object wiki pages in response to receiving a selection of the first control module via the first instance of the application, the first object wiki page including first content associated with the first object;
computer readable program code configured to receive instructions to change the first content included in the first object wiki page via the first instance of the application, such that the first content becomes changed first content;
computer readable program code configured to instantiate a second instance of the application on a second display device;
computer readable program code configured to cause the second display device to display the first control module when the first object of the plurality of objects is displayed on the second display device; and
computer readable program code configured to cause the second display device to display the first object wiki page including the changed first con
