US Patent:

7028225, Apr 11, 2006

Filed:

Sep 25, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/964265

Inventors:

Brian Maso - Laguna Niguel CA, US
Oded Noy - Los Angeles CA, US

Assignee:

Path Communications, Inc. - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714 47, 702186

Abstract:

A constant monitoring and recovery system that enables the measurement of task usage/metrics and performance of software-based business applications. These metrics can then be evaluated by logic, in combination with each other and/or a timer, in a distributed environment. This is accomplished with the introduction of an extremely low overhead to the application host. The results of the logic evaluation can cause real-time and real-world responses such as application restart, interaction with load balancing equipment, or notification (via email, pager, etc. ). Data can also be persisted to a database for later archival or evaluation, with the ability to reduce granularity over time. Specifically, an application manager monitors business application processes, notifies failure and automatically recovers software based business applications based on the logic of the underlying applications. The application manager comprises three main components that work together: Instrumentation API for setting up monitoring parameters; Event Notification and Automatic Recovery Evaluation Engine; Monitoring Console Server.

Inventors:

Stelian Markov - La Crescenta CA, US

International Classification:

G08C 19/00

US Classification:

340 1222

Abstract:

A method and a device for determining what commands can be used to operate a receiving device () when a user operates a control device (). After such a determination is made, a first command is transmitted to the receiving device from the control device () over a first communication interface and a second command is transmitted to the receiving device () over 5 a second communication interface. The communication interface that is selected depends on whether the control device can control the operation of the receiving device () with such a command directly or whether an intervening device () is required to translate the command from a first format to a second format.
