Abstract:
A package of local files are maintained in a first local computing device and a descriptive record of the local files is maintained in a second local computing device. A directory-modified-date parameter within the first local computing device and a file-modified-date parameter in the second local computing device, but updated in accordance with a local clock from the first local computing device, are used to maintain the descriptive record in the second local computing device synchronized with changes to the local files in the first local computing device. Copies of the descriptive record and package of local files are maintained in a remote computing system. A first package-modified-date, PMD, parameter in the second local computing device and a second PMD parameter in the remote computing system are used to maintain the copies in the remote computing system synchronized with those in first and second local computing devices.
Abstract:
A method for managing transactions associated with a persistent framework in a multi-thread environment is provided. The method initiates with associating each individual thread with an event queue. Then an event is added to a first event queue associated with a respective thread. The event is associated with a persistent object. Next, write access to the persistent object is prevented to all threads except the respective thread. Then, the event in the first event queue associated with the persistent object is executed. A computer readable media and a system capable of maintaining transaction states of persistent objects are also provided.
Abstract:
A method and a system for transferring a data file between a first and a second computing device are provided. A wait time is calculated based on a transfer rate provided by the first computing device. Thereafter, the second computing device transfers a first portion of the data file to the first computing device. Next, the second computing device waits for the wait time before transferring a second portion of the data file to the first computing device.

Abstract:
A secured network connection requires three authentication routines. A system access authentication routine requires a client network device to submit user authentication information to a network server. Upon successful user authentication, the network server creates a Client Service Access Pass, embeds this pass into a dynamic web page transmitted to the client device. A client application access authentication routine requires that the dynamic web page pass the Client Service Access Pass to an instantiated client application, which in turn submits it back to a service server on the network server for authentication. Upon success authentication, the network server destroys the Client Service Access Pass, creates a Media File Access Pass, and sends this pass to the client application. A media file access authentication routine requires the client application to submit the Media File Access Pass along with any file access requests to the network server.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide data structures for modeling videoconference meetings, including videoconference meetings having only a single occurrence and videoconference meetings that repeat regularly, such as on a weekly or monthly basis. Some embodiments additionally model videoconference meetings that are part of a repeating series, but that have been canceled or moved to a different time, day, or the like, than the other videoconference meetings in the series. Embodiments of the present invention also provide methods for managing videoconference meetings, scheduling videoconference meetings, displaying the schedules, and monitoring videoconference participant load for videoconference meetings. Some embodiments additionally model videoconference media files, and methods for managing the media files.
Abstract:
An electronic document having a corresponding method, apparatus, and computer program for generating the electronic document comprises a plurality of markup language elements parseable by a browser application to display a page; a browser plug-in adapted to open a network connection with a server, to receive unsolicited event messages from the server over the network connection, and to modify contents of a state table based on the event messages; and a browser script executable by the browser application to read the state table, and to modify the displayed page according to the contents of the state table.
Abstract:
A method of tracking modifications of specific program objects during the runtime of a computer program, facilitates the creation of general UnDo and ReDo operations, as well as the support of an object-specific UnDo operation. When an object is modified, the object is interrogated to collect information about it and how the modification may be undone. The collected information is stored in a highly unbalanced data-tree structure. Since the interrogation of an object is a characteristic of the programming language, and not necessarily a modification of the program being executed, the present method may be easily applied to different existing programs with minimal, if any, modification to the existing programs.
Abstract:
A recording system for capturing videoconference session data is provided. The recording system includes a packet intercepting unit configured to identify packets related to the videoconference data being transmitted over a network. The packet intercepting unit is further configured to sort the related packets into corresponding files, wherein each data stream of the videoconference session is associated with one of the corresponding files. A decoder configured to decode data in each of the corresponding files to respective data streams is included, as well as a mixer/composer configured to combine the respective data streams into a single data stream. A recording device configured to record the single data stream onto a storage medium is included. A videoconference system and methods for efficiently recording videoconference data are included.
