  • Patent number: 9749333
    Abstract: A shared access user appliance having a client component; a server component; interactive user components providing functions to a first user; an interactive access management component allowing the first user to select second users, and select whether to grant or deny access to the user components for the second users; and a control component generating access control data and granting or denying access to the user components for the second users. The server component generates an appliance graphical user interface representing an interactive user environment including independently selectable graphical objects. Selecting each graphical object causes the server to modify the appliance graphical user interface to include the graphical user interface of the interactive user component. The server component receives requests from other users and sends a graphical user interface of the interactive user component for display only if the access data indicates the first user has allowed the second user access.
