  • Patent number: 11973979
    Abstract: A method of displaying images forming part of a digital reality stream, the method including, for each image to be displayed in one or more encoder processing devices, generating compressed image data by differentially compressing image data indicative of the image in accordance with system operation and the content of the digital reality stream so that different parts of the image are compressed using a different degree of compression, wirelessly transmitting the compressed image data to a display device using a wireless communications link, and, in one or more decoder processing devices associated with the display device, differentially decompressing the compressed image data to thereby generate image data indicative of the image to be displayed.

  • Publication number: 20060212329
    Abstract: The systems, methods, and data structure described herein relates to the consolidated management of administrative tasks in an asynchronous, multi-application environment. An information technology (IT) system management application is configured to manage administrative tasks for multiple work centers. Processes associated with the administrative tasks are initiated on the work centers by an IT system management application in an asynchronous manner such that the asynchronous processes can be executed without being actively controlled by the IT system management application. The IT system management application instructs the work centers to provide status information of the asynchronous processes in a specified format. The IT system management application provides a graphical user interface that includes a status pane to publish the status information for monitoring the ongoing administrative tasks.
