摘要： A method is provided in which time slicing data, including an indication of available time blocks for loaning an e-book from an e-book lending library, are provided to a user in response to the user requesting to borrow an e-book that is not currently available for being loaned. When the user selects an available time block via an electronic device, the e-book lending library provides to an electronic device that is associated with the user, via the communications network, a lending license for the e-book that is valid only during the selected available time block. The e-book lending library enables access to the first e-book via the electronic device, during the selected time block, using the provided lending license.

摘要： A method is disclosed where an e-book lending library is provided, the e-book lending library comprising a plurality of e-books. An e-book and an e-book lending license that is valid for a predetermined loan period is provided from the e-book lending library to an electronic device associated with a first user, via a communication network disposed therebetween. An indication of a time block during the loan period, and other than including an end of the loan period, is received from the first user via the communication network, during which time block the first user agrees to relinquish the lending license. The first user's access to the e-book is disabled at a start of the time block, and the lending license is assigned to a different user during the time block. At an end of the time block, the first user's access to the e-book is enabled.

摘要： A method comprises using a cellular telephone associated with a first party to transmit, during a first period of time, voice data from the first party to a second party via a cellular wireless telephone network. During the first period of time, a first video camera other than an integrated video camera of the cellular telephone is used to capture video data relating to the first party. The captured video data is transmitted to the second party via a communication network other than the cellular wireless telephone network. Audio content that is based on the voice data and video content that is based on the video data is provided to the second party, the audio content being synchronized with the video content.

摘要： A system and method are provided for resource registration and delivery. A local resource is registered on a nonlocal server with an entry which identifies the local resource and contains information for use in locally accessing the local resource. When a local client of a local network local to the local resource requests access to the local resource, the nonlocal server determines that the local client and the local resource are local to each other and provides a response for enabling direct local access by the local client to the local resource.

摘要： A system and method are provided for streaming resource replication, registration and delivery. A nonlocal streaming resource is replicated in a local network as a local multicast resource. The local multicast source is registered on a resource management server with an entry which identifies the nonlocal resource and contains information for use in locally accessing the local multicast resource. When a local client of the local network requests access to the local multicast resource, the resource management server determines that the local client and the local multicast source are local to each other and provides a response for enabling direct local access by the local client to the local multicast resource.
