  • Publication number: 20140164573
    Abstract: A data transmission system includes a plurality of electronic devices, an verification server, and at least one access server. The electronic devices are verified by the verification server, and a data transmission group formed by the verified electronic devices. A receiving end in the data transmission group sends a command to the rest of the electronic devices in the data transmission group by the verification server. When the rest of the electronic devices receive the command, the rest of the electronic devices output metadata to the access server. The receiving end receives the metadata via the access server. The receiving end requests the transmitting end in the data transmission group for a physical file according to the metadata. The transmitting end transmits the physical file to the access server, and the access server transmits the physical file to the receiving end.

  • Patent number: 8145764
    Abstract: A network sharing method includes steps of generating a random waiting time, assigning a first virtual IP address to the first computer after the random waiting time has elapsed, and discriminating whether a second virtual IP address is detected. If the second virtual IP address is detected, the first virtual IP address is continuously assigned to the first computer. If the second virtual IP address is not detected, the second virtual IP address is assigned to the first computer.

  • Patent number: 7765393
    Abstract: An IBM PC compatible processing system typically has a BIOS installed as system firmware. During a boot process of the processing system, the BIOS loads a boot loader from one of the boot media, i.e., hard drives, floppy disks, CDs, USB flash memories, taps, etc. and passes control of the boot loader, the boot loader then loads an OS from the boot media. The present invention takes advantage of the higher reliability and availability provided by the system flash memory and stores a boot loader as system firmware in the system flash memory. Further, it provides changes in the BIOS boot process to load the boot loader from system memory, the ROM, for example, without relying on boot media. With this new process, the boot loader can be loaded even when the boot media is corrupt, defective or un-initialized.

  • Publication number: 20100103849
    Abstract: A power-saving control method for wireless LAN is applied to a portable electronic device, such as laptop computer. When the portable electronic device is booted and drives the wireless LAN device, the scan function of the wireless LAN device is disabled. Therefore, automatically scanning the wireless access point is avoided to save power. Moreover, after the wireless LAN link is established by the user, the scan function of the wireless LAN device is also disabled. Thus, the periodical automatic scanning the wireless access point is avoided to save power.

  • Publication number: 20090307479
    Abstract: A computer execution system and a method thereof for starting at least a program quickly after a computer is booted are provided. First, a file list is stored. The file list includes multiple file names of start files which are necessary when the program is started. When the computer is booted, the start files corresponding to the file names in the file list are retrieved from a low-speed storage device and stored in a high-speed storage device. Afterwards, when the program is started, it is executed by cooperating with the start files in the high-speed storage device. Thus, the program is started quickly. This not only saves a user's time in waiting, but also increases the working efficiency of the user.

  • Publication number: 20090300105
    Abstract: A system and method for a communication connection in network architecture are provided. First, a client terminal is linked to a target terminal via the Internet. Then whether the link mode is a virtual link or a substantial link is determined. If the link mode is the substantial link, the client terminal is communicationally connected to the target terminal via the substantial link. If the link mode is the virtual link, whether a local area network is linked via a STUN server is determined. If yes, a peer-to-peer link is built via the STUN server. If no, the client terminal is communicationally connected to a management server of the local area network, and then the management server is communicationally connected to the target terminal.
