A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11971948B1) discloses a system for communication between applications, particularly Rich Internet Applications (RIAs). The system involves RIAs connected to a server system through various communication links, allowing users to access video, audio, and text presentations at virtual show locations within the applications. The server system includes a control room that facilitates information exchange between RIAs and a web application, which also interacts with the server system. The use of XMPP presence messages enables location tracking of users within the virtual show, while the web application handles low priority data for logging and storage purposes, functioning as both a logger and a queue.

Furthermore, the system described in the patent includes specific components and configurations, such as a single processor within the server system, an eJabberD server network, and the utilization of an application server queue and an erlang logger. The communication mechanisms between the web application and the application server, as well as the presence room within the server system, are also detailed. Additionally, the patent mentions the compatibility of the system with personal computers and phones, indicating the versatility of the RIAs across different devices. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive system for efficient communication and data management within a network of Rich Internet Applications.
