System for providing content, management, and interactivity for thin client devices

A system is provided for delivering Internet and digital content to a variety of thin client devices. A web portal for accessing and selecting content is used in conjunction with graphical user interfaces on a personal computer for setting up and controlling the content channels. The user interfaces, scheduling, and communication management are controlled by a system control software application running on a local server with an Internet connection. A high speed local area network provides for streaming content from the Internet or local server to thin client devices. A digital audio playback device is connected to the local server via the local area network connection and decodes streamed audio files, and converts them into analog audio signals for input into a conventional stereo. Digital content is streamed automatically from the local server to another Internet playback device, based on end user content preferences and schedule selections.

Systems and methods for performing backup operations of virtual machine files

Backup systems and methods are disclosed for a virtual computing environment. Certain examples include a system having a backup management server that communicates with a host server having at least one virtual machine. The management server coordinates with the host server to perform backup copies of entire virtual machine disks from outside the guest operating system of the virtual machine. In certain examples, such backup systems further utilize a volume shadow copy service executing on the host server to quiesce virtual machine applications to put data in a consistent state to be backed up. The backup system then utilizes hypervisor snapshot capabilities of the host server to record intended changes to the virtual machine disk files while such files are being copied (e.g., backed up) by the host server. Such recorded changes can be later committed to the virtual machine disk files once the backup operation has completed.

Communication system, base station, terminal, communication device, communication management method, control program, and computer-readable recording medium containing the same

In a wireless communication system, a terminal is identified by a base station in accordance with beacon signals transmitted periodically from the base station, and to the identified terminal, the presence or absence of data to be transmitted and a period until a transmission of a next beacon signal are notified. A terminal-side wireless communication section in the terminal transmits, to the base station, a request for setting of a period between transmissions of beacon signals. A communication control section in the base station sets the period between transmissions of beacon signals in accordance with the request having been received from the terminal. With this arrangement, the terminal can optimize its period between receptions of beacon signals, thereby keeping OFF power supply to a communication circuit from a power source section until the timing for receiving a beacon signal. This allows the terminal to reduce its power consumption.

Session manager for web-based applications

A communication manager for web-based applications receives indications of application time outs via a callback mechanism. During session initiation, the communication manager provides a termination address to an application along with a session ID. If the session times out due to inactivity, the application may signal the communication manager that the session ID is invalid by sending a message to the termination address. Alternatively, when a communication manager establishes communication sessions for several applications with a common external terminal, the communication manager may receive messages identifying terminal activity at one of the applications and may signal to the other applications to keep their sessions active.

Method for data synchronization in web-based communications management system

Disclosed is a method for data synchronization in a web-based transmission device management system, in which managing data requiring synchronization between a web server and a client is constructed as a tree data structure, and a change flag for judging a data change is easily set. The web server increases a second event number by a certain degree whenever an event datagram is transmitted to the client, and the client judges whether or not the event datagram is lost by comparing the second event number and a first event number stored by the client whenever an event datagram is transmitted from the web server. If the event datagram is not lost, the client increases the first event number by a certain degree and performs data synchronization using the received event datagram. However, if the event datagram is lost, the client transmits every checksum of the leaf nodes in its tree data structure in one request datagram to the web server, and performs data synchronization by receiving changed data from the web server. Therefore, a loss of data is recognized promptly and precisely, and change of data on the web server also can be recognized promptly.
