摘要： A novel application and user interface for facilitating group interactions over a network integrates messaging, file sharing, media playing, journaling, profiles, and gaming into a cohesive environment. The groups facilitated by the invention are persistent and mobile in that a user does not have to recollect and reconfigure the group each time he or she wants to interact with the group online and, while online, the group may be taken from one activity to another without having to disband and reconnect at the second activity. The application is modular so as to be extensible to include other activities and functionalities. In an embodiment, the group interaction application utilizes a peer-to-peer network environment to facilitate network communications between group members.

摘要翻译： 用于促进网络上的组交互的新颖的应用和用户界面将消息，文件共享，媒体播放，日志记录，简档和游戏融合到一个内聚的环境中。 由本发明促进的组是持久的和移动的，因为每当他或她想要在线上与组进行交互时，用户不必重新收集和重新配置组，并且在线时，该组可以从一个活动取到另一个活动 而不必在第二次活动中解散并重新连接。 该应用程序是模块化的，以便可扩展以包括其他活动和功能。 在一个实施例中，组交互应用利用对等网络环境来促进组成员之间的网络通信。

摘要： A communication icon represents a shared connection allowing members of an online group to interact with each other and participate in different activities together. The icon through which the group interacts resides on each group member's desktop and has many attributes including click activation modes and drag and drop functionality. The icon provides each group member with a representation of the group's shared relationship. Any group member can change the group icon and have that change propagated to the computers of the other members of the group. The icon can be activated for both non-verbal and verbal communications as well as activity sharing. Online members of the group are kept apprised of the group's status and activities via a displayed status bar.

摘要翻译： 通信图标表示共享连接，允许在线组的成员彼此交互并一起参与不同的活动。 组交互的图标驻留在每个组成员的桌面上，并具有许多属性，包括点击激活模式和拖放功能。 该图标为每个组成员提供组的共享关系的表示。 任何组成员都可以更改组图标，并将该更改传播到组的其他成员的计算机。 可以为非语言和口头通信以及活动共享激活图标。 团队的在线会员通过显示的状态栏来了解组的状态和活动。

摘要： A system and method facilitating media browsing is provided. The invention includes a browsing component and a media display system that provides a focus media and related media. The focus media and the related media are associated based, at least in part, upon metadata. The invention further provides for an association identifier that identifies related media based, at least in part, upon metadata associated with the focus media and the related media. The association identifier can further cluster the related media based upon metadata associated with the related media.
