Abstract

Administration of URIs in groups including retrieving, in dependence upon a group URI, a member URI, retrieving a resource identified by the member URI, determining a display interval length for the resource, and displaying the resource for the determined display interval length.

Claims

1. A method for administration of URIs in groups, the method comprising:

retrieving, in dependence upon a group URI, a member URI;

retrieving a resource identified by the member URI;

determining a display interval length for the resource; and

displaying the resource for the determined display interval length.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein determining a display interval length for the resource comprises reading a recording period from the resource and calculating a display interval length in dependence upon the recording period.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein determining a display interval length for the resource comprises reading a recording period from the member URI and calculating a display interval length in dependence upon the recording period.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein determining a display interval length for the resource comprises reading a recording period from a data structure and calculating a display interval length in dependence upon the recording period.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein determining a display interval length for the resource comprises determining a complexity of the resource and calculating a display interval length in dependence upon the complexity.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein determining a display interval length for the resource comprises calculating a display interval length in dependence upon a user'"'"'s previous viewing period of another resource identified by another member URI.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising determining a recording period and saving the recording period as data encoding in a URI.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising determining a recording period and saving the recording period in a resource identified by a member URI.

9. The method of claim 1 further comprising determining a recording period and saving the recording period in a data structure.

10. A system for administration of URIs in groups, the system comprising:

means for retrieving, in dependence upon a group URI, a member URI;

means for retrieving a resource identified by the member URI;

means for determining a display interval length for the resource; and

means for displaying the resource for the determined display interval length.

11. The system of claim 10 wherein means for determining a display interval length for the resource comprises means for reading a recording period from the resource and means for calculating a display interval length in dependence upon the recording period.

12. The system of claim 10 wherein means for determining a display interval length for the resource comprises means for reading a recording period from the member URI and means for calculating a display interval length in dependence upon the recording period.

13. The system of claim 10 wherein means for determining a display interval length for the resource comprises means for reading a recording period from a data structure and means for calculating a display interval length in dependence upon the recording period.

14. The system of claim 10 wherein means for determining a display interval length for the resource comprises means for determining a complexity of the resource and means for calculating a display interval length in dependence upon the complexity.

15. The system of claim 10 wherein means for determining a display interval length for the resource comprises means for calculating a display interval length in dependence upon a user'"'"'s previous viewing period of another resource identified by another member URI.

16. The system of claim 10 further comprising means for determining a recording period and means for saving the recording period as data encoding in a URI.

17. The system of claim 10 further comprising means for determining a recording period and means for saving the recording period in a resource identified by a member URI.

18. The system of claim 10 further comprising means for determining a recording period and means for saving the recording period in a data structure.

19. A computer program product for administration of URIs in groups, the computer program product comprising:

a recording medium;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for retrieving, in dependence upon a group URI, a member URI;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for retrieving a resource identified by the member URI;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for determining a display interval length for the resource; and

means, recorded on the recording medium, for displaying the resource for the determined display interval length.

20. The computer program product of claim 19 wherein means, recorded on the recording medium, for determining a display interval length for the resource comprises means, recorded on the recording medium, for reading a recording period from the resource and means, recorded on the recording medium, for calculating a display interval length in dependence upon the recording period.

21. The computer program product of claim 19 wherein means, recorded on the recording medium, for determining a display interval length for the resource comprises means, recorded on the recording medium, for reading a recording period from the member URI and means, recorded on the recording medium, for calculating a display interval length in dependence upon the recording period.

22. The computer program product of claim 19 wherein means, recorded on the recording medium, for determining a display interval length for the resource comprises means, recorded on the recording medium, for reading a recording period from a data structure and means, recorded on the recording medium, for calculating a display interval length in dependence upon the recording period.

23. The computer program product of claim 19 wherein means, recorded on the recording medium, for determining a display interval length for the resource comprises means, recorded on the recording medium, for determining a complexity of the resource and means, recorded on the recording medium, for calculating a display interval length in dependence upon the complexity.

24. The computer program product of claim 19 wherein means, recorded on the recording medium, for determining a display interval length for the resource comprises means, recorded on the recording medium, for calculating a display interval length in dependence upon a user'"'"'s previous viewing period of another resource identified by another member URI.

25. The computer program product of claim 19 further comprising means, recorded on the recording medium, for determining a recording period and means, recorded on the recording medium, for saving the recording period as data encoding in a URI.

26. The computer program product of claim 19 further comprising means, recorded on the recording medium, for determining a recording period and means, recorded on the recording medium, for saving the recording period in a resource identified by a member URI.

27. The computer program product of claim 19 further comprising means, recorded on the recording medium, for determining a recording period and means, recorded on the recording medium, for saving the recording period in a data structure.
