Abstract
In one embodiment, an invited participant accesses a customized web page using an electronic device. Content is displayed on the customized web page to the invited participant. A determination is made whether the invited participant has viewed the content on the customize web page by tracking usage of the customize web page. In response to determining that the invited participant has not viewed the content, a determination is made whether the invited participant has invited a previously-uninvited participant to access the customized web page and view the content. In response to determination that the invited participant has invited a previously-uninvited participant, a determination is made whether the previously-uninvited participant is approved to access the customized web page and view the content. In response to the previously-uninvited participant having been approved, an invitation is issued to the previously-uninvited participant to access the customized web page and view the content.

Further, blocks can be deleted, added, or combined without departing from the spirit of the methods and apparatuses for selectively displaying information to an invited participant. - The flow diagram in
FIG. 6 illustrates usage of an invited participant according to one embodiment of the invention. - In
Block 605, the identity of the invited participant is detected. In one embodiment, the invited participant accesses the customized web page when the identity is detected. In another embodiment, the invited participant logs into the customized web page when the identity is detected. - In Block 610, usage by the invited participant is detected. In one embodiment, the customized web page tracks the usage of the content by the particular invited participant.
- In
Block 615, if the invited participant views the content on the customized web page, then a check is performed based on the content that is viewed by the invited participant inBlock 620. For example, particular content that is viewed by the invited party may be programmed to trigger another action in one embodiment. Accordingly, a check is performed on whether this particular content is viewed by the invited participant that would trigger another action. - In
Block 625, if the particular content is viewed as detected in theBlock 620, then the predetermined action is performed. For example, the invited participantviews content # 1 on the customized web page. Based on viewing thecontent # 1,content # 2 is offered for use by the invited participant in this example. In this example, the predetermined action is supplying the invited participant with thecontent # 2. In another embodiment, different predetermined actions include adding content, modifying content, deleting content, and the like. - In
Block 630, the customized web page is updated to reflect any changes from the predetermined action performed in theBlock 625. - If the invited participant does not view the content in the
Block 615, invitation of other participants to join the customized web page is performed inBlock 635. - If the invited participant does not invite other participants, the usage by the invited participant continues to be detected in the Block 610.
- If the invited participant invites other participants to join the customized web page, the identity of the newly invited participants is checked in
Block 640. - In Block 645, the relationships between the newly invited participants and the currently invited participant is determined. In one embodiment, the currently invited participant may identify the relationship between the currently invited participant and the newly invited participants, and the relationship between the newly invited participants. These relationships include a boss, a co-worker, a subordinate, a friend, a family member, and the like.
- In
Block 650, the host for the customized web page approves or rejects the inclusion of the newly invited participants. In another embodiment, the host pre-approves the newly invited participants based on the relationships as defined in the Block 645. For example, if the host pre-approves all newly invited participants that are “family” members, then if a family member is invited by the currently invited participant, then the newly invited participants are automatically includes as participants of the customized web page without further approval from the host. In yet another embodiment, the host may pre-approve all newly invited participant regardless of identity or relationship. - In one embodiment, the host is able to publicly communicate with the invited participants through the customized web page. Further, each of the invited participants is able to initiate communication with the host by way of a private channel such as via email, phone, or instant-messaging chat.
- The flow diagram in
FIG. 7 illustrates programming a customized web page to share content with participants according to one embodiment of the invention. - In
Block 710, a host accesses the customized web page. - In
Block 720, the host programs a sequence of content for the customized web page. For example, the host can instruct thatcontent # 1 to be displayed on the customized web page. Next, the host can instruct the display ofcontent # 2 to be displayed on the customized web page once thecontent # 1 is viewed by one of the invited participants. In another example, thecontent # 2 can be a modified version of thecontent # 1. - In Block 730, the host can monitor the usage of the customized web page by the invited participants. In one embodiment, the host tracks content that is accessed by the individual invited participants.
- In
Block 740, the host approves delivery of updated content based on the usage of the invited participants. For example, the host is able to further customize the content for use by the invited participants via the customized web page based on additional usage data that is monitored by the host in the Block 730. - The foregoing descriptions of specific embodiments of the invention have been presented for purposes of illustration and description. The invention may be applied to a variety of other applications. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise embodiments disclosed, and naturally many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to explain the principles of the invention and its practical application, to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the invention and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. It is intended that the scope of the invention be defined by the Claims appended hereto and their equivalents.
