Patent number: 8972535Abstract: A system for automatic configuration of computers on a network is disclosed. In a first aspect a storage area network is disclosed. The network comprises at least one controller; and a plurality of clients coupled to the at least one controller. The network includes a storage device coupled to the at least one controller and the plurality of clients. The controller upon attachment to the network registers itself and notifies the plurality of clients. The plurality of clients then interrogates the controller. Each of the plurality of clients updates its configuration based upon the interrogation. In a second aspect, a method for configuration of computers in a network is disclosed. The method comprises registering at least one controller upon attachment to the network and notifying a plurality of clients by the at least one controller. The method includes interrogating the at least one controller by each of the plurality of clients. The plurality of clients are updated based upon the interrogation.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2009Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jean Francois Albouze, Michael R. Margolis

Publication number: 20130238747Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method of transmitting images. The method automatically detects through a network a set of devices broadcasting wireless point-to-point communication services. The method displays a list of the set of devices to allow selection of a device in the set of devices. Upon receiving a selection of a particular device in the set of devices for receiving an image, the method identifies image data that represents the image. The method transmits the image data to the particular device for display on the particular device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2012Publication date: September 12, 2013Applicant: APPLE INC.Inventors: Jean-François Albouze, Randy Ubillos, Timothy D.
