Resource management system for electronic devices in digital networks with graphical display

摘要

The system has electronic equipment (A-E) e.g. TV linked to lower layer transmission devices (10,13) and sending a resource reservation request and group information notice to a resource management server (5). The server sets up a path (15) connecting newly linked equipment and equipment of same group that the notice indicates. The server judges if the request based on the notice is acceptable on the path set up in a network. The server manages the information of resource reservation status and information of groups of all the electronic equipment connected to multiple lower layer transmission devices (10,13).
