System for graphical representation of real-time data
First Claim
1. A system for effecting and monitoring a real-time process that is participated in by multiple participants over a network, the system including multiple components, comprising:
- at least one participant computer with a display;
at least one server coupled to the at least one participant computer through the network;
at least one memory device having stored thereon instructions, which when executed by at least one of the components, causes the at least one component to;
periodically collect real-time data regarding the real-time process;
periodically update a display comprising a graphical representation of a current state of the process using the real-time data;
receive participant inputs via the display, wherein the participant inputs include changes to a the real-time data; and
in response to the participant inputs, update the display to reflect the changes to the real-time data.

Abstract
A system for effecting and monitoring a real-time process that is participated in by multiple participants over a network. In one embodiment, multiple components of the system include: at least one participant computer with a display; at least one server coupled to the at least one participant computer through the network; and at least one memory device that stores instructions. When the instructions are executed, they cause a processor to periodically collect real-time data regarding the real-time process, and periodically update a display with a graphical representation of a current state of the process using the real-time data. The instructions also cause the processor to receive participant inputs via the display, wherein the participant inputs include changes to the real-time data. The processor also updates the display to reflect the changes to the real-time data in response to the participant inputs.

25. An interactive user interface for effecting and monitoring a real-time process, wherein the interactive user interface comprises instructions that, when executed, cause an operating system to:
-
periodically collect real-time data regarding the real-time process;
periodically update a display comprising a graphical representation of a current state of the process using the real-time data;
receive user inputs via the display, wherein the user inputs include changes to the real-time data; and
in response to the user inputs, update the display to reflect the changes to the real-time data.

49. A method for conducting a real-time process that is participated in by multiple participants over a network system, the system including multiple components, comprising at least one participant computer with a display and at least one server coupled to the at least one participant computer through the network, the method comprising:
-
periodically collecting real-time data regarding the real-time process;
periodically updating the display to provide a graphical representation of a current state of the process using the real-time data;
receiving participant inputs via the display, wherein the participant inputs include changes to a the real-time data; and
in response to the participant inputs, updating the display to reflect the changes to the real-time data.
