Title: Strategies for queuing events for subsequent processing
Inventor: LUDWIG CHARLES ALAN
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2006-07-14
Abstract: In one exemplary implementation, strategies are described which transmit notification information from a first device (e.g., a media server) to a second device (e.g., a remote media device). Based on this notification information, a recipient-user can use the first device to generate an event pertaining to the notification information and forward the event to the second device, where the event is logged. The second device can then send prompting information to a follow-up user (who may be the same as the recipient-user) to alert that user to the existence of the logged event.  The follow-up user can further advance an action (such as buying a resource, printing a resource, and so forth) based on the prompting information. Filtering mechanisms are described for determining which recipient-users are able to send events, and for determining which follow-up users are able to receive prompting information that indicates the existence of events.
