Abstract
A server is in communication with a plurality of clients being executed by a host. The server is configured to receive a message from a first client of the plurality of clients. The message indicates that the first client currently has focus, wherein the message is transmitted by the first client with a first cookie. The server is configured to identify that a second client of the plurality of clients utilizes a second cookie that matches the first cookie, wherein the second client is currently receiving data from the server using a low-latency update mechanism. The server is also configured to downgrade the second client from the low-latency update mechanism to a high-latency update mechanism, wherein the high-latency update mechanism is configured to enable the second client to conduct a poll of the server periodically for updates.
