A system and method analyzes resource consumption without requiring sensors at every device for which consumption is analyzed. Data rates used to provide resource use information may be increased or decreased based on user actions.

System and method for identifying power usage issues

Representative embodiments are disclosed of a real-time priority-based communication system and method for communicating media streams made up of multiple media message sub-streams, the communication system comprising a chunk configurator for dividing media message sub-streams into chunks, a state machine configured to translate between information regarding the media message sub-streams and the chunks and state associations to the information, the state associations written into a header for each of the chunks, a queue for holding the chunks waiting to be transmitted, and a processor for executing a scheduling algorithm, wherein the scheduling algorithm determines ones of the chunks in the queue to transmit next.

Real-time priority-based media communication

A system and method for sharing and installing customized meeting objects into an ongoing electronic meeting is disclosed. An object module, which defines the customized meeting object is loaded onto a server hosting the ongoing electronic meeting. Client-side portions of the object module are then downloaded to each of the clients that are participating in the electronic meeting. While the meeting is ongoing, the meeting player installs the client-side portions of the object module and displays the customized meeting object, at least, to a meeting presenter. Once displayed to a meeting presenter, the presenter may use the customized meeting object during the meeting and display such object to the meeting participants when desired.

Real-time meeting object extensibility

A system and method provides a service, such as complete access to a file or a socket request, in response to a file describing permissions for individual or multiple domains.

System and method for controlling access to files

A system and method are disclosed for an interactive multimedia file (iMF), running on an interactive multimedia runtime (iMR), to store an object onto a computer, the method comprising creating a local instance of the object, storing the local instance into a memory location on the computer, monitoring changes to one or more data slots of the local instance, assigning a version identifier to the local instance, synchronizing the local instance with a main instance of the object, and interfacing the one or more data slots of the local instance with said iMF during execution.

Shared persistent objects

A system and method is disclosed for establishing an interactive multimedia application environment in which server-side streaming media may be controlled by a client using a programming model provided at both a communication server and an interactive multimedia runtime on the client. The application program interface (API) preferably provides methods for the client user to establish a stream of data from the client to the communication server in addition to allowing a stream from the communication server to the client. The API also preferably allows the user at a client to exert control over the broadcasting of the media streams. Streams may be built, edited, paused, stopped, augmented, and the like by the client user. Each function that the client user may operate on the broadcast media stream is preferably viewable by all of the other subscribing clients.

Client controllable server-side playlists

Representative embodiments are disclosed of a system and method for linearly exposing client-server interaction comprising interpreting a function command representing a first group of sequential action requests to an integrated multimedia communication server (iMCS), sequentially transmitting the first group of sequential action requests from an interactive multimedia runtime (iMR) client to the iMCS, wherein a next sequential action request of the first group is transmitted to the iMCS prior to receiving a response message from the iMCS associated with a previous sequential action request of the first group, queuing response messages received from the iMCS, and handling the queued response messages.

System and method for linearly managing client-server communication

A collaborative electronic meeting environment is described that provides an additional presentation canvas to the active meeting canvas that is only accessible by meeting presenters. Using this presentation canvas, additional meeting objects may be established by the presenters or even created and staged by a presenter to be dragged onto the meeting canvas for use during the active meeting. The meeting participants who are not presenters may not view or interact with this presentation canvas or any of the objects located thereon.

Presenter-only meeting canvas for collaborative electronic meeting space

One embodiment of the present invention provides the administrator of an access restricted electronic system with a flexible management scheme. In this scheme, users request access to the electronic system. Users who submit verified access information, such as a login identification and password, are immediately granted access as authorized users. Users who have not submitted access information, are presented to the administrator through an interface that enables the administrator to grant ad hoc access.
