Abstract:

One example embodiment of the invention is directed to a method for communicating streaming data between a plurality of users participating in a real-time communications event over a packet based data network. One example method comprises steps of a source identifying a first sink corresponding to a request, the request including at least a method and method parameters, the source using a sink data repository to determine a first sink address corresponding to the first sink, and the source communicating the request to the first sink at the first sink address. Additional steps include a resource executing the method using the parameters and the resource communicating a response to the source following execution of the method.

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707695

Abstract:

According to one feature of the system, a method for updating a file maintained by first, second and third computers. The method comprises steps of the first computer communicating to the second computer a file modification instruction, the file modification instruction including the file identifier and a modification for the file. The third computer issuing to the second computer a request to notify the third computer of a file modification when the master property identifier does not match the property identifier maintained by the third computer. The second computer receiving the request to notify and, in response to the file modification instruction, implementing the modification of the master file whereby the master property identifier changes, and, upon noting that the master property identifier does not match the property identifier maintained by the third computer, issuing a master update to the third computer, the master update including the file identifier, the master property identifier and the modification for the file. The third computer receiving the master update and responsively modifying the version of the file that it maintains and updating the property identifier that it maintains for the file.

US Classification:

370261, 370238, 37920201, 709204

Abstract:

One example embodiment of the invention is a method for communicating streaming data between a plurality of users participating in a real-time communications event over a packet based data network, the method comprising the steps of: a source identifying a first sink corresponding to a request, the request including at least a method, one or more method parameters, and a time to live value; the source using a sink data repository to identify a first sink address corresponding to the first sink, the sink data repository comprising sink addresses for a plurality of different sinks; the source communicating the request to said first sink; and, the first sink returning an error message if the time to live has expired, and if the time to live has not expired the first sink processing the request through one or more steps of: acting as a resource by executing the method using the method parameters and communicating a response to the source; acting as a filter by forwarding the request to a second sink; and, redirecting the request back to the source for communicating to a second sink.

US Classification:

348 1405, 709204

Abstract:

An example of the invention includes a collaboration system having a shared file modification engine useful to notify collaboration users connected to a data network when a shared file is updated, the modification engine comprising a plurality of client computers that communicate a file modification status request including a file identifier and a file property, each of the plurality of client computers having a plurality of shared file applications running thereon. At least one server computer connected to the data network and to the plurality of client computers. At least one shared file useful with the plurality of shared file applications and containing data to be shared with the plurality of client computers, the at least one shared file modifiable by any of the plurality of users and having a file name and a current property associated with it. The server computer is configured to perform steps of receiving the file modification status requests from the plurality of client computers and use the file identifier in the status request to identify the at least one shared file; compare the current version property to the file property from the status request; and communicate a confirmation in response to the file modification status request when the current file property does not match the file property from the status request, the confirmation confirming that the shared file has been modified and including modifications made to the shared file. The file modification status request can be used with each of the plurality of shared file applications running on the client computers.

US Classification:

709204, 709250

Abstract:

One example method for communicating a file modification during a collaboration event includes steps of a first computer communicating a file modification status request to a second computer, the status request including at least a file identifier and a file property. The second computer uses the file identifier from the request to identify a current property of a corresponding file. The second computer compares the current file property to the file property from the status request and communicates a response to the first computer when the current property does not match the property from the status request.
