System for collecting and displaying performance improvement information for a computer
First Claim
1. A system for gathering and presenting performance improvement information corresponding to scaling services performed in connection with providing content from a computer network in response to a request from a client device, said system comprising:
- a client device including a performance data display module; and
a remote scaling server arranged between said client device and the computer network, said remote scaling server being configured to perform one or more scaling services and including a performance data collection module, wherein said performance data collection module interacts with said performance data display module to provide performance improvement information attributable to a scaling service performed by said remote scaling server in satisfying a request for content by said client device, the performance improvement information reflecting a difference in performance between satisfying the request by said client device using the scaling service and satisfying the request by said client device without using the scaling service.

Abstract
A system for collecting and displaying performance improvement information for a computer is implemented in a method for providing performance improvement information to a client device. The method includes the steps of receiving a request from the client device for network content, retrieving the requested network content, and transmitting the network content to the client computer with information relating to a performance improvement associated with the retrieval and/or transmission of the network content.

11. A method for providing performance improvement information to a client device configured to retrieve network content through a transcoding server, said method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving at the transcoding server a request from the client device for network content;
retrieving the requested network content;
selectively transcoding the requested network content; and
transmitting the requested network content to the client device with performance improvement information relating to a performance improvement associated with at least one of said retrieval or transcoding of the requested network content by the transcoding server, the performance improvement information reflecting a difference in performance between satisfying the request from the client device using a service provided by the transcoding server and satisfying the request from the client device without using said service. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 15)

16. A set of instructions residing on a storage medium for execution by a transcoding server arranged between a client device and a computer network, said set of instructions comprising instructions for:
-
receiving at the transcoding server a request from the client device for network content;
retrieving the requested network content; and
transmitting the requested network content to the client device with performance improvement information relating to a performance improvement associated with at least one of said retrieval or transcoding of the requested network content, the performance improvement information reflecting a difference in performance between satisfying the request from the client device using a service provided by the transcoding server and satisfying the request from the client device without using said service. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A method for presenting performance improvement information on a client device configured to communicate with an external network through a transcoding server, said method comprising:
-
transmitting a request for network content resident on the external network to the transcoding server;
receiving requested network content and performance improvement information from the transcoding server, the performance improvement information relating to a service performed by the transcoding server in satisfying the request for network content and reflecting a difference in performance between satisfying the request using the service and satisfying the request without using the service; and
displaying the performance improvement information.

20. A storage medium including a set of instructions for execution by a client device configured to communicate with an external network through a transcoding server, wherein the set of instructions includes instructions for:
-
transmitting a request for network content resident on the external network to a network device the transcoding server;
receiving the requested network content and performance improvement information from the transcoding server, the performance improvement information relating to a service performed by the transcoding server in satisfying the request for network content and reflecting a difference in performance between satisfying the request using the service and satisfying the request without using the service; and
displaying the performance improvement information.
