Abstract: A communication apparatus such as a digital video camcoder acquires an IP address from a DHCP server on a UPnP network. During the communication apparatus is transmitting an image stream, which is a sensed image, to the DTV, the communication apparatus issues an IP address update request to the DHCP server. In this case, when the DHCP server leaves the UPnP network, the communication apparatus keeps transmitting the stream while holding an already set IP address. Upon completely transmitting the series of the stream, the communication apparatus generates its own IP address using an AutoIP function.

Abstract: A warm standby appliance is described herein. The warm standby appliance is coupled to a storage server which is coupled to one or more servers. When a server fails, the storage server transfers a backed up image to the warm standby appliance, so that the warm standby appliance is able to replicate the failed server. While the failed server is inaccessible, the warm standby appliance is able to mimic the functionality of the failed server. When a new server or repaired server is available, the warm standby appliance is no longer needed. To incorporate the new server into the system quickly and easily, the server image of the warm standby appliance is sent to the new server. After transferring the image, the warm standby appliance is cleaned and returns back to a dormant state, waiting to be utilized again.

Abstract: A method for utilizing an IM system enables presenters and participants to interact with material in a master-slave configuration. Both the presenter and participants access the material locally on their computers. The material on the participants' computer interacts with the presenter's computer using an existing instant messaging infrastructure. As the presenter interacts with local material, events are broadcast to slave material as instant messages, such that these events are reproduced as interactions.

Abstract: Processes and techniques for reducing spam over instant messaging (SPIM) are described. In one implementation, the number of open instant messaging threads (“chat threads”) that a specific user can have at a given time is limited to prevent a potential spimmer from flooding instant messaging users with SPIM. Another implementation combines the technique of limiting the number of open instant messaging threads with a user feedback technique that enables users to inform an instant messaging service or other entity about users that are sending SPIM or other undesirable content. Another implementation combines the technique of limiting the number of open instant messaging threads with a text analysis technique that enables an instant messaging service or other entity to analyze text generated by a user to determine if the user is sending SPIM or other undesirable content to other instant messaging users.

Abstract: An intrusion detection and prevention (IDP) device includes a flow analysis module, an analysis engine, a plurality of protocol-specific decoders and a profiler. The flow analysis module processes packet flows in a network to identify network elements associated with the packet flows. The analysis engine forms application-layer communications from the packet flows. The plurality of protocol-specific decoders processes the application-layer communications to generate application-layer elements. The profiler correlates the application-layer elements of the application-layer communications with the network elements of the packet flows of the computer network.

Abstract: Proxy functionality is described for receiving a request for markup content from a receiving device, retrieving the markup content, converting the markup content to code-bearing content, and transferring the code-bearing content to the receiving device. The receiving device can then consume the code-bearing content without the use of conventional browser functionality. The proxy functionality can convert the markup content to code-bearing content by identifying a set of features that captures the characteristics of the markup language content, and then translating those features into to the code-bearing content (in association with identified data resources). The converting can also include identifying features that are contingent on focusable elements (e.g., links) having focus (or not having focus), and formulating this dependency in conditional statements within the code-bearing content. Finally, the markup content can also include code content embedded therein or referenced therein.

Abstract: So-called push technology enables reception of new contents automatically, i.e. without user initiation. In order to enable a connecting party to send data when a receiving application is not even running, and thus cannot receive the data, middleware simulating the application to a connecting party, and an active connection to the application by utilizing buffers is provided. More precisely, the middleware is arranged to buffer incoming data on behalf of the application, if the application is not receiving the data, and to allow the application to receive the buffered data when the application is again willing to receive the data.
