The invention comprises a wireless camera apparatus and system for automatic capture and delivery of digital image “messages” to a remote system at a predefined destination address. Initial transmission occurs via a wireless network, and the apparatus process allows the simultaneous capture of new messages while transmissions are occurring. The destination address may correspond to an e-mail account, or may correspond to a remote server from which the image and data can be efficiently processed and / or further distributed. In the latter case, data packaged with the digital message is used to control processing of the message at the server, based on a combination of pre-defined system and user options. Secured Internet access to the server allows flexible user access to system parameters for configuration of message handling and distribution options, including the option to build named distribution lists which are downloaded to the wireless camera. For example, configuration data specified on the server may be downloaded to the wireless camera to allow users to quickly specify storage and distribution options for each message, such as archival for later retrieval, forwarding to recipients in a distribution list group, and / or immediate presentation to a monitoring station for analysis and follow-up. The apparatus and system is designed to provide quick and simple digital image capture and delivery for business and personal use.

A system for predictive analysis of very large data sets using a distributed computational graph has been developed. Data receipt software receives streaming data from one or more sources. In a batch data pathway, data formalization software formats input data for storage. A batch event analysis server inspects stored data for trends, situations, or knowledge. Aggregated data is passed to message handler software. System sanity software receives status information from message handler and optimizes system performance. In the streaming pathway, transformation pipeline software manipulates the data stream, provides results back to the system, receives directives from the system sanity and retrain software.

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for combining advertising messages with short message service (SMS) messages in a wireless communications system. A signaling message processing and routing node transmits and receives short message service (SMS) data packets via a communications network. The routing node includes an SMS message processing module that determines whether an SMS message should be modified to include advertisements. SMS messages, whether modified or left unmodified, are forwarded to a destination mobile communications device. The SMS message processing module applies rules to match selected advertisements with the SMS message. The determination of whether to modify the SMS message to include a selected advertisement is based on a variety of considerations including: the content and format of the SMS message; the content and format of the advertisements; the communications and display characteristics of the destination mobile communications device; and the limitations of the channel used to communicate the message to the destination mobile communications device.

A router located in the host processor analyzes the communication protocol header to determine whether the message is destined for the host processor or for one of the other devices.

A message handler can dynamically change messages that are output during execution of a computer application. The messages are stored in a message file. When the application begins execution, it opens the message file, extracts the messages, stores them as message entries in a message table in computer memory and closes the file. Message records and message entries have formatting tags that allow dynamic substitution of desired information without expensive recompiling or version releases.

Described is a method and system by which a computer program window is sized based on the content to display. The window may automatically resize itself as content changes. When laying out an element tree of elements that contain the content, the elements provide desired size information to a parent container, and so on, up to the root element (e.g., a window). If a window property is set to size to the content, a window size is computed during layout, having a height and / or width based on the child elements plus X and Y deltas for a window non-client area and borders. Logic attached to window message handling controls changes to the content / window, such as to automatically resize for changed content, and to selectively turn off or persist the size to content property. Sizing to content may be programmatically limited to one dimension, with the other dimension fixed.

An apparatus and method for managing device information through networks. The apparatus for managing device information through networks includes a polling list for storing polling information including device IP addresses assigned to home devices, polling intervals, and last polling times; a poller for checking the polling list and sending out a polling list listing devices to be polled; and a message processor for generating a polling message based on received registration request messages from the home devices, sending out the polling message verifying whether corresponding devices are activated with reference to the polling list, and updating the polling information stored in the polling list based on a response message with respect to the polling message received from the home devices. As different polling intervals are used with respect to devices existing on a home network, the reliability of device information improves and network traffic reduces.

Described is a system and method for filtering messages received by a message-handling program, that leverage the existing message-handling architecture of computer devices to trigger events and perform other actions instead of (or in addition to) displaying the messages to users. One or more rule clients, e.g., COM objects, register for processing messages. When an appropriate message is received, the message-handling mechanism passes the message to a rule client. Depending on how that rule client responds, the message-handling mechanism determines what to do with the message, e.g., discontinue the message. Messages that are not discontinued are passed to another rule client, if any, or displayed in the user interface, if not. Rule clients may be read only, or may have write access, to modify messages. Messages may be hidden from a user by a rule client, modified before being display to a user, or left intact.

A method and system (200) for message handling in a messaging system by: receiving messages from applications associated with transactions and placing the received messages in a queue (230) for subsequent retrieval; receiving requests of prepare, commit and abort for the transactions; deferring retrieval of messages from the queue so as to occur in the same sequence as the prepare requests of the transactions with which the respective messages are associated; and retrieving from the queue messages associated with a transaction in the order in which the messages were put by the application. Preferably deferral is achieved by deferring completion of transaction commits as required to occur in the same order as the prepare message requests. Deferral may be implemented by (i) using a three phase commit protocol having Prepare, Commit, and Release phases and by implementing the Release phase within the Commit phase of the same or a different transaction so that a standard two-phase coordinator may be used, or (ii) by completing a first part of a commit phase as requested and deferring a second part of the commit phase as required. This permits appropriate message ordering in a transactional system, and in particular permits the correct implementation of a database replication system (220) using coordinated message transport that is fed the changes during database transactions.

A method and apparatus handles authentication on an IPv6 network, in which IPv6 security network nodes are allowed to communicate with each other through mutual authentication using secure information transmitted from a certificate authority, thus minimizing the amount of messages exchanged between the certificate authority and each node. Further, it is possible to essentially block nodes accessing to the IPv6 security network maliciously by handling mutual authentication through the exchanged messages when initial authentication is handled between a certificate authority handling authentication on the IPv6 security network and a node accessing to the IPv6 security network.
