System for assigning data processing activities to users through an interactive display interface dynamically granting access only during activity to normally inaccessible resources needed for activity

In a network including a plurality of interconnected computer controlled display stations for receiving and sending data, a system for assigning data processing activities to users at receiving display stations comprising:

• means for selecting a plurality of user performable activities,
• means for predetermining for each performable activity, at least one normally inaccessible computer resource needed to carry out each performable activity,
• means for assigning a performable activity to a user, and
• means for sending to said user at a receiving display station, data representative of said assigned activity including:
• means for accessing said computer resource needed to carry out said assigned activity by interactively displaying said resource at said receiving display station in association with said assigned activity, only during the carrying out of said activity, whereby said resource becomes inaccessible upon the completion of said activity.

A computer controlled interactive display method for assigning data processing activities to users through display interfaces comprising:

• selecting a plurality of user performable activities,
• predetermining for each performable activity, at least one normally inaccessible computer resource needed to carry out each performable activity,
• interactively displaying in association with each of said user performable activities, the at least one computer resource needed to carry out the respective activity,
• assigning a performable activity to a user, and
• granting to said user through said interactively displaying, access to the at least one computer resource needed to carry out said assigned performable activity only during the carrying out of said activity, whereby said resource becomes inaccessible upon the completion of said activity.

A computer program having program code included on a computer readable medium operable in a computer controlled interactive display system for assigning data processing activities to users through display interfaces comprising:

• means for selecting a plurality of user performable activities,
• means for predetermining for each performable activity, at least one normally inaccessible computer resource needed to carry out each performable activity,
• means for interactively displaying in association with each of said user performable activities, the at least one computer resource needed to carry out the respective activity,
• means for assigning a performable activity to a user, and
• means, responsive to said assigning means, for granting to said user through said means for interactively displaying, access to the at least one computer resource needed to carry out said assigned performable activity only during the carrying out of said activity, whereby said resource becomes inaccessible upon the completion of said activity.
