Appl. No.:

10/431010

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709239, 709240, 709242

Abstract:

Methods, apparatuses and systems allowing for network link state mirroring in intermediate network devices. A variety of intermediate network devices disposed between two network devices are operationally transparent to the two network devices. For example, a bandwidth management device disposed between a gateway router and a LAN hub or switch, is operationally transparent, to both network devices since the bandwidth management device, pacing or otherwise controlling packet flows, does not alter the essential routing or switching functions of the devices. The present invention promotes or enhances this operational transparency by mirroring the link state detected at a first network interface on other network interfaces. This functionality is highly useful in today's network topologies where information regarding failure of a link can be used to re-route traffic, alert a network administrator, and the like.

Abstract:

A system and method for wirelessly exchanging information concerning the location of E85 gas stations between E85 vehicles. The method includes transmitting messages from an E85 gas station that identifies the location of the E85 gas station, the time of the transmission and the price of the E85 gas, and receiving the messages by E85 vehicles that pass within a certain distance of the E85 gas station. The method also includes identifying that two E85 vehicles pass close to each other, where the vehicles periodically broadcast an E85 beacon identifying them as E85 vehicles. When two E85 vehicles are identified, the vehicles exchange information concerning a list of the E85 gas stations that they have stored from messages received from E85 gas stations and/or other E85 vehicles. The two vehicles update their lists to include those E85 gas stations that one vehicle may have that the other does not.

US Classification:

707808, 707913, 707975

Abstract:

A method for merging media includes the steps of obtaining a first input from a first media device, the first input comprising first data corresponding to properties of one or more first media files, obtaining a second input from a second media device, the second input comprising second data corresponding to properties of one or more second media files, generating a merged list comprising one or more first selected media files of the first media files sharing a common property with at least one of the second media files and second selected media files of the second media files sharing the common property, and causing execution of one of the first selected media files, one of the second selected media files, or both.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709217

Abstract:

A system and method for selecting, downloading, and storing software applications to a motor vehicle includes a user selecting an application to add to the motor vehicle. Upon selection, the a vehicle service provider prepares the application for delivery to the vehicle by packaging the requested application source files and digitally signs the application source files. If the selection was made from the vehicle, the application package is delivered to the vehicle upon request. Otherwise, the vehicle synchronizes with the service provider at a later time. During this synchronization process, the vehicle determines that an application must be downloaded and requests the application package from the service provider. The application source is contained within one digitally signed application package that is delivered to the vehicle. The vehicle verifies the digital signature of the package. If the digital signature is valid, the contents are unpacked and stored locally by the vehicle.

US Classification:

713100

Abstract:

A system and method for allowing a user to select and manage software applications in their vehicle from any Internet enabled device and allows the user to remotely configure the content of each specific application from any Internet enabled device. Once the application has been configured via the internet enabled device, the user launches the application from the vehicle. Upon launching, the application dynamically retrieves the user's settings from the server and downloads any information or content necessary. In this manner, the application is personalized to the user's settings, without the user ever having to take any actions from within the vehicle, or to personalie the user's settings while the vehicle is in Park.
