Abstract

A method and system is disclosed for adaptively refreshing a data using system. The data using system includes a data source and a data using device for utilizing data from the data source. The data using device has an initial refresh interval. A communication link is provided between the data source and the data using device. A criteria monitor is provided for monitoring at least one criteria related to the refresh interval. A processor is provided for generating an updated data refresh interval based at least in part on the monitored criteria. The data using device is updated based on the data refresh interval.

39. A method for adaptively setting a data refresh interval between computers over the Internet, the method comprising the steps of:

providing a selected Internet enabled, data collecting appliance;

providing a data using device for utilizing data collected by the appliance, the data using device having an initial refresh interval;

providing a communication link between the appliance and the data using device;

monitoring at least one criteria related to the refresh interval;

generating an updated data refresh interval based at least in part on the monitored criteria;

changing the initial data refresh interval of the data using device to the updated data refresh interval; and

providing a data server in communication with the appliance and data using device, wherein the data server generates and transmits the updated refresh interval in response to the request for data by the data using device and wherein a subsequent request for data by the data using device is based at least in part on the updated refresh interval.

40. An adaptively refreshed data using system which comprises:

an Internet enabled, data collecting appliance;

a data using device for utilizing data from the appliance, the data using device having an initial refresh interval;

a communication link between the appliance and the data using device;

a criteria monitor for monitoring at least one criteria related to the refresh interval;

a processor for generating an updated data refresh interval based at least in part on the monitored criteria;

whereby the data using device is updated based on the data refresh interval; and

a data server in communication with the appliance and data using device, wherein the data server generates and transmits the updated refresh interval in response to the request for data by the data using device, and wherein a subsequent request for data by the data using device is based at least in part on the updated refresh interval.
