Publication number: 20120042066Abstract: A network appliance may be configured to transmit data over a multiple networks from one or more client applications, for example, enterprise business applications. The network appliance may receive and analyze information regarding the multiple different networks transmitting over different transmission media, e.g., terrestrial and wireless, and to switch a client application from a primary network to a backup network based on a detected change in network availability. For example, the determination to switch transmission networks may be based on an outage of a primary network, or based on an efficiency or cost analysis, along with other factors. The network appliance may be in communication with an appliance network server, for example, to receive and compile statistics and remotely reconfigure a plurality of network appliances installed in remote locations.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2011Publication date: February 16, 2012Applicant: GILAT SATELLITE NETWORKS LTDInventors: Aditya Chatterjee, Hanny Kadrichu, Yaron Reshef, Glenn Katz, Amiram Levinberg

Patent number: 7441250Abstract: A computer-user interface facilitates interaction between the user and the computer in a manner which enables the computer to assist the user in accomplishing desired goals. Based upon a particular task to be performed, the computer interviews the user to obtain the information pertinent to that particular task. Once the information is provided to the computer, it works with the user to automatically perform desired tasks in response to triggering events designated by the user. In addition, the computer can notify the user whenever a task is being carried out. Any executable function can be designated by the user as the object of a task. The initiation of this task can be carried out in response to any programmatically detectable event, or trigger, which is also designated by the user. As a further feature, the user has the ability to select from among a number of different types of notification to be provided whenever the task is being performed.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2004Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Glenn Katz, Michael Gough, Josh Jacobs, John Powers, Patricia Coleman, James Miyake, Greg Ames, Jon Kalb

Patent number: 5680617Abstract: A computer-user interface facilitates interaction between the user and the computer in a manner which enables the computer to assist the user in accomplishing desired goals. The computer works with the user to automatically exhibit desired behavior in response to triggering events designated by the user. Any executable function can be designated by the user as the object of a task. The initiation of this task can be carried out in response to any programmatically detectable event, or trigger, which is also designated by the user. The existence and implementation of the behavior is unknown to the files and other objects with which it is associated. With the flexibility offered by this arrangement, the user can customize the operation of a computer to suit his or her particular needs.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 1994Date of Patent: October 21, 1997Assignee: Apple Computer, Inc.Inventors: Michael Lane Gough, Glenn Katz, Patricia Coleman, Greg Ames
