Abstract

A method, computer program product, and computer system for receiving, at a remote computer device, a response time goal selected by an end user. The response time goal includes an interval when a next payload is to be received at a local computer device from the remote computer device. The remote computer device dynamically adjusts content of the next payload to be delivered to the local computer device based on the response time goal selected by the end user to allow the content of the next payload to be received at the local computer device within the response time goal selected by the end user.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, at a remote computer device, a response time goal selected by an end user, wherein the response time goal includes an interval when a next payload is to be received at a local computer device from the remote computer device; and

adjusting dynamically, by the remote computer device, content of the next payload to be delivered to the local computer device based on the response time goal selected by the end user to allow the content of the next payload to be received at the local computer device within the response time goal selected by the end user.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein adjusting the content of the next payload includes adjusting quality of the content.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein adjusting the content of the next payload includes filtering the content of the next payload.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising polling one or more QoS characteristics of the local computer device to determine the adjustment of the content of the next payload to achieve the response time goal selected by the end user.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein adjusting the content of the next payload includes adjusting the content of the next payload to be delivered to a plurality of local computer devices based on the response time goal selected by the end user.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein adjusting the content of the next payload includes adjusting the content of the next payload to be delivered to a plurality of local computer devices, wherein at least one response time goal of a second end user of the plurality of local computer devices is different than the response time goal selected by the end user.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising simulating a preview of the content of the next payload based on the response time goal selected by the end user.

8. A computer program product residing on a computer readable storage medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving, at a remote computer device, a response time goal selected by an end user, wherein the response time goal includes an interval when a next payload is to be received at a local computer device from the remote computer device; and

adjusting dynamically, by the remote computer device, content of the next payload to be delivered to the local computer device based on the response time goal selected by the end user to allow the content of the next payload to be received at the local computer device within the response time goal selected by the end user.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein adjusting the content of the next payload includes adjusting quality of the content.

10. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein adjusting the content of the next payload includes filtering the content of the next payload.

11. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the operations further comprise polling one or more QoS characteristics of the local computer device to determine the adjustment of the content of the next payload to achieve the response time goal selected by the end user.

12. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein adjusting the content of the next payload includes adjusting the content of the next payload to be delivered to a plurality of local computer devices based on the response time goal selected by the end user.

13. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein adjusting the content of the next payload includes adjusting the content of the next payload to be delivered to a plurality of local computer devices, wherein at least one response time goal of a second end user of the plurality of local computer devices is different than the response time goal selected by the end user.

14. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the operations further comprise simulating a preview of the content of the next payload based on the response time goal selected by the end user.

15. A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:

receiving, at a remote computer device, a response time goal selected by an end user, wherein the response time goal includes an interval when a next payload is to be received at a local computer device from the remote computer device; and

adjusting dynamically, by the remote computer device, content of the next payload to be delivered to the local computer device based on the response time goal selected by the end user to allow the content of the next payload to be received at the local computer device within the response time goal selected by the end user.

16. The computing system of claim 15 wherein adjusting the content of the next payload includes adjusting quality of the content.

17. The computing system of claim 15 wherein adjusting the content of the next payload includes filtering the content of the next payload.

18. The computing system of claim 15 wherein the operations further comprise polling one or more QoS characteristics of the local computer device to determine the adjustment of the content of the next payload to achieve the response time goal selected by the end user.

19. The computing system of claim 15 wherein adjusting the content of the next payload includes adjusting the content of the next payload to be delivered to a plurality of local computer devices based on the response time goal selected by the end user.

20. The computing system of claim 15 wherein adjusting the content of the next payload includes adjusting the content of the next payload to be delivered to a plurality of local computer devices, wherein at least one response time goal of a second end user of the plurality of local computer devices is different than the response time goal selected by the end user.

21. The computing system of claim 15 wherein the operations further comprise simulating a preview of the content of the next payload based on the response time goal selected by the end user.
