Patent number: 7054941Abstract: A network has a server and a plurality of terminals connected to the server. The terminals are capable of requesting the server to transfer a program. The server responds to the request of the terminals by broadcasting the program to the terminals. The method for transferring the program via the network uses a terminal to request the server to re-transfer the program when the terminal receives only a portion of the program requested by another terminal instead of receiving the complete program during a timeout period. The method and the network system for transferring programs are capable of substantially reducing the transferring time for an operating system and effectively improving the transferring efficiency to overcome the prior art shortcomings.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2002Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignee: Via Technologies Inc.Inventor: Chien-Fa Wang

Patent number: 7020280Abstract: A method of processing a phone dialing process. At first, whether the dial key signal of the dial device is inputted is checked. When the dial key signals of the dial device are inputted and the dial device is not connected, that is, a user is pressing a phone number, the values corresponding to the inputted dial key signals are sequentially stored in a first memory. When the dial device is connected but the dial key signals of the dial device are still inputted, which means that the user is pressing an extension number or a key instruction, the values corresponding to the inputted dial key signal are also stored in the first memory. In addition, at least a time value is stored in a second memory. During the redial procedure, the time value can be used to properly process the time delay problem between the normal phone number and the extension number.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2001Date of Patent: March 28, 2006Assignee: Via Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Chien-Fa Wang
