Abstract
A method and system for monitoring activity of an image server which stores a multiplicity of images, at least some of which contain plural image portions, the method including the steps of monitoring which of the multiplicity of images stored on the image server are accessed, monitoring accessing of individual ones of the plural image portions of each of the multiplicity of images stored on the image server which are accessed, and providing an output indication of the number of times that each image portion of the multiplicity of images stored on the image server is accessed.
Claims72
A method for monitoring activity of an image server which stores a multiplicity of images, at least some of which contain plural image tiles, the method comprising:
- monitoring which of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server are accessed;
- monitoring accessing of individual ones of said plural image tiles of each of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server which are accessed;
- and
- providing an output indication of a number of times that each image tile of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server is accessed.
A method according to claim 10 and also comprising:
- monitoring a number of users accessing at least one of said multiplicity of images within a given time parameter;
- and
- providing an output indication of whether and to what extent said number of users exceeds a predetermined threshold.
A system for monitoring activity of an image server which stores a multiplicity of images, at least some of which contain plural image tiles, the system comprising:
- an image monitor, monitoring which of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server are accessed;
- an image tile monitor, monitoring accessing individual ones of said plural image tiles of each of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server which are accessed;
- and
- an output device, providing an output indication of a number of times that each image tile of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server is accessed.
A method for controlling activity of an image server which stores a multiplicity of images, at least some of which are at various levels of resolution, the method comprising:
- monitoring an authorization status of a user seeking to access one of said multiplicity of images stored on an image server;
- and
- controlling access to said multiplicity of images stored on said image server based on a level of resolution of the image to which the user seeks access and the authorization status of the user.
A system for controlling activity of an image server which stores a multiplicity of images, at least some of which are at various levels of resolution, the system comprising:
- a status monitor, monitoring an authorization status of a user seeking to access one of said multiplicity of images stored on an image server;
- and
- an access controller, controlling access to said multiplicity of images stored on said image server based on a level of resolution of the image to which the user seeks access and the authorization status of the user.
A method for monitoring activity of an image server which stores a multiplicity of images, at least some of which contain plural image tiles, the method comprising:
- monitoring which of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server are accessed;
- monitoring a time duration during which each of said image tiles of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server is accessed;
- and
- providing an output indication of the time duration during which each of said image tiles of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server is accessed.
A system for monitoring activity of an image server which stores a multiplicity of images, at least some of which contain plural image tiles, the system comprising:
- an image monitor, monitoring which of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server are accessed;
- a time monitor, monitoring a time duration during which each of said image tiles of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server is accessed;
- and
- an output device, providing an output indication of the time duration during which each of said image tiles of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server is accessed.
A method for controlling and monitoring activity of an image server which stores a multiplicity of images, at least some of which contain plural image tiles and are at various levels of resolutions, the method comprising:
- monitoring which of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server are accessed;
- monitoring accessing of said plural image tiles of each of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server which are accessed;
- providing an output indication of the number of times that each image tile of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server is accessed;
- monitoring an authorization status of a user seeking to access one of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server;
- and
- controlling access to said multiplicity of images stored on said image server based on a level of resolution of the images to which the user seeks access and the authorization status of the user.
A system for controlling and monitoring activity of an image server which stores a multiplicity of images, at least some of which contain plural image tiles and are at various levels of resolutions, the system comprising:
- an image monitor, monitoring which of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server are accessed;
- an image tile monitor, monitoring accessing of said plural image tiles of each of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server which are accessed;
- an output device, providing an output indication of a number of times that each image tile of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server is accessed;
- a status monitor, monitoring an authorization status of a user seeking to access one of said multiplicity of images stored on said image server;
- and
- an access controller, controlling access to said multiplicity of images stored on said image server based on a level of resolution of the images to which the user seeks access and the authorization status of the user.
