  • Patent number: 9262743
    Abstract: Executing a program structure for spanning a thread of control and a thread of execution across multiple peers in a peer-to-peer network comprises generating a program structure comprising a plurality of program instructions. A first of a plurality of network peers then executes a portion of the program instructions which initiates the execution of code hosted by said first network peer, where said portion comprising fewer than all program instructions. The first network peer then migrates one or more of the program instructions, including one or more controlling program instructions, together with any requisite data, some of which may include control data, to at least one other of the plurality of network peer. The at least one other network peer then continues execution of the program instructions in accordance with the controlling program instructions and control data until one or more of the objections of the program structure are achieved.

  • Patent number: 8437744
    Abstract: In part the invention relates to a method of providing remote access to data generated by a mobile device having a device storage element. The method includes the steps of monitoring the mobile device such that changes in local data resident in the device storage element are detected using a client application installed on the mobile device, wherein the changes in the local data accumulate during a period of time to comprise at least one change set; transmitting the at least one change set over a network; receiving the at least one change set at a remote server, the remote server having a remote storage element; and processing the at least one change set using a server application to generate user accessible remote data.

  • Patent number: 8355711
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for collaborative computing for mobile devices. The system includes methods for leveraging a mobile device and computing resources in a peer-to-peer network in a manner that does not require a central controlling entity, nor the transmission and/or downloading of computer-executable code (e.g., program applications) such that mobile device applications can defer the costly execution of said program applications to the collaborative computing resources in a peer-to-peer network where computing resources are cheaper and network bandwidth and connectivity is more reliable and less expensive in comparison to a mobile device.

  • Patent number: 7895048
    Abstract: The present invention enables a user to download digital photography images and fulfill digital photography requests through a variety of digital photography systems and methods. One digital photography system of the present invention includes a first computing environment for initiating digital photography order requests. The first computing environment receives a download of digital photography images from a user together with an order request from the user. Resident within the first computing environment is a provisioner related to the user, and storing user profile information, user personalization information, and user customization information. This provisioner utilized in fulfilling said order request in a manner personalized to said user. The digital photography system also includes a second computing environment for fulfilling the order request by way of an order fulfillment device.
