how to design and write a multiple client application using Sockets for a UVC driver

I have a UVC driver to get image from a UVC camera. UVC driver allows to connect with the device for one application at a time. I need to convert this into multiple application serving driver. driver is transferring image data in ASCII format. I am thinking of using sockets for implementation between client applications and the driver but I am struggled with designing a way to provide a client interface. I need to expose set of image events for application but I dont't have any idea on how to design this. any good documentation for designing client server applications using sockets (not just socket communication) will help.
