INDICATION OF THE REMAINING DURATION OF AN EVENT WITH A DURATION RECOIL FEATURE

摘要

In an application for controlling an event, there is an indicator of the remaining duration for the event provided by the application during the event substantially simultaneously to each of a plurality of computing devices over a network for each computing device to use in creating a countdown graphic for display on a graphical user interface (GUI). The application updates the indicator as the event progresses and instructs each computing device to update the countdown graphic when the indicator is updated. If the application receives a first value from a first user during the event and determines that the first value is a triggering value, the application adjusts the remaining duration for the event and updates the indicator accordingly. If the application receives a second value from a second user and in response may override the adjusting of the remaining duration for the event.
