  • Patent number: 10079728
    Abstract: A connection is established between a first device and a server. When the first device opens the connection, the server determines the remote IP address of the first device. Determining the remote IP address can be performed in a variety of different manners. The first device is then tasked to determine its local IP address. The same steps can be repeated with a second device. Thereafter, either of the first device or the second device are able to query the server to find out if there is another device on the network. If one of the devices is capable of accepting incoming connections, the devices can communicate directly using the local IP addresses. Otherwise, messages can be sent through the server. The communication between the first and second devices can allow enhanced media viewing capabilities. Other embodiments are also disclosed herein.

  • Patent number: 5822580
    Abstract: A data-driven global registry method for use to extend a framework in an object oriented programming (OOP) based computer system is provided. The method includes providing a new class defined in a shared class library which has data members and member functions related to a particular task. In addition, a new class attributes file which specifies attributes associated with the new class is generated. The new class attributes file is placed in a global registry configuration directory in a computer system such that a plurality of client applications can access the global registry configuration directory to determine if the new class has been installed in the class library. In an alternative embodiment, an object-based global registry method is provided. In addition, a storage device readable by a computer system for implementing either OOP-based global registry method and OOP-based global registries themselves are provided.
