USAGE CONSCIOUSNESS IN HTTP/HTML FOR REDUCING UNUSED DATA FLOW ACROSS A NETWORK

摘要

HTTP/HTML is enhanced to provide information to a server about the current usage level of the continuous data that is being sent to the client. With this information, the server is able to tailor the data being sent to the client based on the current usage level. If the usage level changes in the client system, the server receives information about the changed level and the amount of data being sent is adjusted (up or down) accordingly. The client (browser) is enhanced to determine and send the current usage status and the server is enhanced with the intelligence to tailor the data it sends based on the current usage status received from the client.
