Patent number: 10742540Abstract: A connection from first terminal CL11, Cl12 to m of relay servers RS1 to RS4 is performed and a connection from second terminal CL21, CL22 to n thereof is performed to relay a communication between the terminals with one of the relay servers connected in common to both of the terminals set to be an active relay server. If a failure occurs in the active relay server, the other relay server connected in common to the first terminal and the second terminal is searched to relay a communication between the terminals with the relay server set to be an alternative relay server at the first terminal and the second terminal. Consequently, a data communication between the terminals is performed through the relay server selected optionally, and furthermore, adjustment for determining the alternative relay server is performed on the terminal side if a failure occurs in an active relay server.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2018Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: WingArc1st Inc.Inventors: Ko Shimazawa, Hironori Watanabe

Patent number: 10666726Abstract: In a server (10), all column data items are extracted from a master data storage unit (11) and sent to a client (20) in addition to target data corresponding to a data acquisition request that has been sent from the client (20), and in the client (20), the target data and data items received from the server (10) are displayed on a screen in a user-interface selectable mode, thereby making it possible to download from the server (10) to the client (20) the minimum target data required when attempting to perform a desired process on the client (20), and doing away with the waste associated with downloading all the data. In addition, by also downloading and displaying in a selectable manner on a screen data items pertaining to data other than the target data, a user can be shown, in an operable-like manner, data items pertaining to actual data without downloading the actual data.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2012Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: WingArc1st Inc.Inventors: Jun Tanaka, Ko Shimazawa, Kosuke Yoshihara, Keisuke Tatehara
