International Classification:

G06F 15/177

US Classification:

709220

Abstract:

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a method for interacting with one or more client devices coupled to a smart network host device within a smart home network. The method includes the steps of identifying a first application that is associated with at least one client device and stored in an first application store coupled to a smart home network, downloading the first application from the first application store for execution, associating a service that is exposed by the at least one client device with the first application, translating a high-level instruction generated by the first application via the service to a low-level instruction that is understood by the at least one client device, and transmitting the low-level instruction to the at least one client device for processing.

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

709224

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method is presented for determining which downloadable applets are exposed to a user of a computer when the computer is connected to a network. Included are the steps of detecting a change in the topology of a network, requesting from a router device topology information for the network, comparing the topology information against a requirements list associated with an application executing on the computing device, where the requirements list delineates at least one of a capability and a service necessary for the application to operate properly within a network, and determining whether the application is supported by the topology of the smart home network. If the application is supported, then the application is exposed, unless the application is not permitted to operate within the network. If the application is not supported or not permitted to operate within the network, then the application is not exposed.

International Classification:

G06F 3/0481

US Classification:

715733

Abstract:

Generating a universal graphical desktop sharing protocol is disclosed. The universal graphical desktop sharing protocol is configured to communicate information (e.g., a sequence of one or more desktop sharing events) that has been translated from a first graphical desktop sharing protocol and is available to be translated into a final graphical desktop sharing protocol.

International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

707 3

Abstract:

The find system of the present invention operates as an extension of a computer's operating system and allows an end-user of an on-line network to enter a search request to locate offerings in different services. In the on-line network, multiple query modules process the search requests by using multiple indexes which associate search terms with offerings in the different services. In addition, multiple find modules balance the processing loads placed on the query modules by selectively routing the search requests to the query modules. In addition to locating offerings in the on-line network, the find system can also establish connections with external data sources and route search requests to the external data sources. Furthermore, the find system provides a fault-tolerant system in which the find modules reroute the search requests to other query modules when errors occur. The find system also contains an indexing module which executes on separate processors and allows service providers to create specialized indexing schemes.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30
G06F 17/10

Abstract:

Historical analysis of query patterns is used to discover relationships between data sets. These relationships are used to make optimal decisions about where to place data in a globally distributed environment in which locality of data is an important factor in providing good query performance. A mixed integer programming model is used to solve a constraint based system which balances the need to have data kept local with other data and the cost of replicating data across a low-bandwidth network.
