  • Patent number: 7051100
    Abstract: The present invention aims to perform streaming delivery with compensating missing data when a part of the streaming data of the streaming delivery is missing. On receiving a delivery request to a media server from a client, a cache checking unit checks if the streaming data to be delivered is stored in a cache data storing unit. If not stored, the cache checking unit sends the delivery request to the media server, and a streaming data caching unit receives the streaming data delivered from the media server and judges an existence of missing data within the delivered streaming data. If exists, a missing data requesting unit sends a delivery request for the missing data to the media server, and a streaming data delivering unit performs the streaming delivery of the streaming data and the missing data received from the media server to the client.

  • Patent number: 6389457
    Abstract: A system and method for pushing information from a host system to a mobile data communication device upon sensing a triggering event is disclosed. A redirector program operating at the host system enables a user to continuously redirect certain user-selected data items from the host system to the user's mobile data communication device upon detecting that one or more user-defined triggering events has occurred. The redirector program operates in connection with event generating applications and repackaging systems at the host system to configure and detect a particular user-defined event, and then to repackage the user-selected data items in an electronic wrapper prior to pushing the data items to the mobile device. The host system can be a desktop computer that stores and redirects messages received from a network to the mobile device and also stores and redirects messages received from the mobile device to the network.
