In 2000-2001 we had a system for sale to the restraunt industry that allowed the user to monitored remote locations in real-time. video and point of sale were rendered into various panels. the user would log in, be presented with the store locations they have access for, and would click-drag then desired view onto their panel of choice (which looked like as switched off tv set when not active). the panels could be synchronized and time-manipulated
we didn't patent it, but it was available for sale and used by numerous clients. (don't get me started on what happened to the company)
I still have some screenshots
