  • Intentional monitoring
    Patent number: 9582980
    Abstract: An approach for providing intentional monitoring is provided. An alarm can be predefined with any number of metrics or thresholds for monitoring an electronic service. The predefined metrics and/or thresholds can be combined with one or more input variables selected by a customer or with one or more signals received from a network component. The alarm can be implemented using the predefined metrics, thresholds, and the one or more customer selected input variables or signals from the network component.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and system for storing and accessing data in a compound document using object linking
    Patent number: 5715441
    Abstract: A method and system for interfacing an application program with a compound document storage system. The present invention provides an interface which an application program uses to manipulate compound documents. In a preferred embodiment, this interface is implemented in a multilayered architecture. The first layer provides methods which an application program uses to access a compound document using the functions of the second layer. The second layer maps requests to store data in the compound document to a storage format using the functions of the third layer. The third layer maps requests to write to a file to an arbitrary storage medium.

  • Method and system for transactioning of modifications to a tree structured file
    Patent number: 5506983
    Abstract: A method and system for interfacing an application program with a compound document storage system. The present invention provides an interface which an application program uses to manipulate compound documents. In a preferred embodiment, this interface is implemented in a multilayered architecture. The first layer provides methods which an application program uses to access a compound document using the functions of the second layer. The second layer maps requests to store data in the compound document to a storage format using the functions of the third layer. The third layer maps requests to write to a file to an arbitrary storage medium. In another aspect, the present invention provides for the transactioning of modifications to data in a file that is stored in a tree structure having nodes. When modifications are made to a node that is not transacted, the modifications are associated with the closest ancestor node that is transacted.
