SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR UPDATING A NETWORK CLIENT FROM STREAMING EVENT DATA
First Claim
1. A method of updating network clients with event data, the method comprising:
- a computer server updating an event database with at least one event record in accordance with a correspondence between at least one event definition and event data received at the computer server, each said event record identifying an occurrence of an event in the event data;
the computer server updating at least one data object from the at least one event record, each said data object being uniquely associated with a respective network user and identifying a plurality of pre-determined events, the data object updating identifying an occurrence of at least one of the pre-determined events; and
in accordance with the data object updating, the computer server providing a network client associated with one of the network users a network client update indicating the occurrence of the associated at least one pre-determined events, the network client being configured to notify the associated one network user of the occurrence of the indicated at least one pre-determined event.

Abstract
A method of updating a network client with event data involves the network client registering with a computer server a unique association between a network user and a data object maintained by the computer server. The data object identifies a plurality of pre-determined events. The computer server is configured to receive event data and to update the data object in accordance with an occurrence of one of the associated pre-determined events in the received event data. The network client receives from the computer server a network client update indicating the occurrence of the one pre-determined event in the received event data. The network client then notifies the network user of the occurrence of the indicated one pre-determined event.
