  • Patent number: 9729642
    Abstract: A technique to at least partial transfer an active network communication session associated with a server and an authenticated user communicating through a first device. The at least partial transfer includes the following actions (not necessarily in the following order): (i) recording the network communication session on an inline network device; (ii) associating the network communication session with the second device on the inline network device; and (iii) sending session continuation information from the inline network device to at least the second device and/or the server. The first device is in data communication with the inline network device during at least a portion of the recording step. The session continuation information sent at the sending step includes information enabling the user to continue the active network communication session through the second device.

  • Patent number: 9692796
    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus and method for setting disposition with respect to document information share. To this end, once a transmission-side server forwards a document forward request message including a document disposition rule with respect to a document to a reception-side server, the reception-side server checks a preference with respect to the document forward request message by using a preset user preference to notify a document change, and stores document data together with a disposition rule regarding the document data, such that efficient management and disclosure of private information forwarded to a user become possible and thus a CAB service can be easily and rapidly provided according to user's selection.

  • Patent number: 9667498
    Abstract: A self-adaptive control system based on proportional-integral (PI) control theory for dynamic capacity management of latency-sensitive application servers (e.g., application servers associated with a social networking application) are disclosed. A centralized controller of the system can adapt to changes in request rates, changes in application and/or system behaviors, underlying hardware upgrades, etc., by scaling the capacity of a cluster up or down so that just the right amount of capacity is maintained at any time. The centralized controller uses information relating to a current state of the cluster and historical information relating to past state of the cluster to predict a future state of the cluster and use that prediction to determine whether to scale up or scale down the current capacity to reduce latency and maximize energy savings. A load balancing system can then distribute traffic among the servers in the cluster using any load balancing methods.

  • Patent number: 9665149
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a gateway for controlling Wakeup-on-LAN and/or Sleep-on-LAN through the Internet. The gateway comprises a first port for establishing a P2P (point-to-point) connection to the Internet, and a second port for coupling to a Local-Area-Network (LAN) that supports Wakeup-on-LAN and/or Sleep-on-LAN, wherein the gateway collects identifications and addresses of terminal devices in the Local-Area-Network (LAN) for associating the identification codes and the addresses of the terminal devices, so that the gateway can wake up and/or sleep the terminal devices according to messages carrying the identification codes of the terminal devices on the P2P connection.

  • Patent number: 9521033
    Abstract: A network element implements a method to support a plurality of network services between a computing device and the network element over non-channelized media using a single subscriber session. The method includes receiving from a computing device a request for a first network service that includes a Media Access Control (MAC) address of the computing device, retrieving a user record from a database server based on the MAC address of the computing device, determining from the user record whether the computing device supports the first network service and a second network service, and upon determining that the computing device supports the first network service and the second network service, creating a single dual-stack session that combines the first network service and the second network service.

  • Patent number: 9503310
    Abstract: The methods and systems described herein centralize simulation resources and effectively delivering training and simulation services to a broad set of distributed users at both the enterprise and operational levels. The cloud-based delivery of simulation applications described herein enables on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. In exemplary systems, users may provision computing capabilities, such as server time and network storage, as needed, automatically without requiring human interaction.
