Method and apparatus for preserving loop fairness with dynamic half-duplex

A method and apparatus for preserving loop fairness. Some embodiments include a dynamic half-duplex feature. One aspect includes a communications channel system and method for preserving loop fairness that includes a first channel node having one or more ports, each port supporting and attached to a fibre-channel arbitrated-loop serial communications channel. One of the ports will arbitrate for control of that port's attached channel, wherein control of the channel loop, once arbitration is won, a fairness-preserving apparatus causes control of the communications channel to be released based at least in part on whether a predetermined amount of use has occurred between the first port and the communications channel. In some embodiments, the predetermined amount of use includes a transfer of a first predetermined amount of data. In some embodiments, release of control of the channel is inhibited if less than a second predetermined amount of data remains to be transferred.

Data management method using communication network and data management device

A unique ID 35 by which a distribution region can be identified is attached to a use-permission certificate 33 distributed in different regions. Different terminal devices send unique terminal device IDs to a data management device. Based on these IDs, the region in which the terminal device is installed is determined. IDs attached to use-permission certificates are sent by the terminal devices to the data management device through a communication network. Based on these IDs, the distribution regions of the use-permission certificates are determined. If the determined terminal device installation region and the use-permission certificate distribution region match, the use of data by the terminal device is allowed.
