512 results about "Store and forward" patented technology

Store and forward is a telecommunications technique in which information is sent to an intermediate station where it is kept and sent at a later time to the final destination or to another intermediate station. The intermediate station, or node in a networking context, verifies the integrity of the message before forwarding it. In general, this technique is used in networks with intermittent connectivity, especially in the wilderness or environments requiring high mobility. It may also be preferable in situations when there are long delays in transmission and variable and high error rates, or if a direct, end-to-end connection is not available.

Method and system for binding enhanced software features to a persona

A server architecture for a digital rights management system that distributes and protects rights in content. The server architecture includes a retail site which sells content items to consumers, a fulfillment site which provides to consumers the content items sold by the retail site, and an activation site which enables consumer reading devices to use content items having an enhanced level of copy protection. Each retail site is equipped with a URL encryption object, which encrypts, according to a secret symmetric key shared between the retail site and the fulfillment site, information that is needed by the fulfillment site to process an order for content sold by the retail site. Upon selling a content item, the retail site transmits to the purchaser a web page having a link to a URL comprising the address of the fulfillment site and a parameter having the encrypted information. Upon following the link, the fulfillment site downloads the ordered content to the consumer, preparing the content if necessary in accordance with the type of security to be carried with the content. The fulfillment site includes an asynchronous fulfillment pipeline which logs information about processed transactions using a store-and-forward messaging service. The fulfillment site may be implemented as several server devices, each having a cache which stores frequently downloaded content items, in which case the asynchronous fulfillment pipeline may also be used to invalidate the cache if a change is made at one server that affects the cached content items. An activation site provides an activation certificate and a secure repository executable to consumer content-rendering devices which enables those content rendering devices to render content having an enhanced level of copy-resistance. The activation site “activates” client-reading devices in a way that binds them to a persona, and limits the number of devices that may be activated for a particular persona, or the rate at which such devices may be activated for a particular persona.

Distance-aware service discovery mechanism for determining the availability of remote services in wireless personal area networks

The present invention refers to a method for extending replicated service discovery information for determining the availability of requested remote services in a client / server-based network environment (400), wherein each of a multiplicity of client terminals (402) is connected to a single file and / or application server (404, 405) of a specific service provider via a wireless multi-hop network which is based on a store-and-forward messaging principle, i.e. a wireless Personal Area Network (PAN) based on Bluetooth technology. Thereby, said service discovery information is needed for a selection of the optimal service provider. The method comprises the steps of providing (S1) network distance information indicating the number of intermediate network nodes (406) acting as forwarding servers for accessing remotely accessible services between a client terminal (402) and a number of file and / or application servers (404, 405) within said wireless wireless multi-hop network and selecting (S2) a requested remote service running on a file and / or application server (404) of a specific service provider at a network distance in the physical proximity of the respective client terminal (402) which can be reached from said client terminal (402) with a minimum of forwarding delay based on said network distance information. According to one embodiment of the invention, service discovery information is dynamically adapted (S3) to information concerning varying resource availability and / or changing link characteristics within said wireless multi-hop network. In this connection, cached service discovery information is marked as active (S3a) only as long as a file and / or application server (404, 405) participates in a wireless communication session with the respective client terminal (402) and marked as inactive (S3b) after the connection between said server (404, 405) and the respective client terminal (402) is closed and a predefined time-out period has expired, thereby discarding (S3c) outdated service discovery information. According to a further embodiment, information indicating the usage of requested remote services is taken into account during the process of selecting (S2) a specific remote service.

System for creating and distributing prioritized list of computer nodes selected as participants in a distribution job

The present invention provides a system and apparatus for efficient and reliable, control and distribution of data files or portions of files, applications, or other data objects in large-scale distributed networks. A unique content-management front-end provides efficient controls for triggering distribution of digitized data content to selected groups of a large number of remote computer servers. Network distribution messages are dispatched according to a sorted list of servers, based on factors such as nearness, server processor speed, reliability, and CPU Usage. For large numbers of servers, a store-and-forward approach becomes much more efficient. A first selected server receives the message from a content control manager (CCM). The first server requests instructions for the next server listed on an ordered list in the CCM and forwards a copy of that message to the next identified server. Each server reports its completion and requests further instructions from the CCM. This mechanism permits highly efficient and robust distribution of assignments and data content from the CCM to each required GL using a store-and-forward tree structure.
