Publication number: 20150099481Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and system for providing various alert notifications to individuals. More specifically, the embodiments disclosed herein are directed to obtaining an alert notification from an external source and determining a geographic area associated with the alert notification. Once the geographic area has been determined the methods and systems described determine one or more users in the geographic area that meet one or more alert criteria. An alert notification is then generated and is provided to one or more users in geographic areas that meet the one or more alert criteria.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2014Publication date: April 9, 2015Inventors: Heather Maitre, Andrew Claiborne, J.

Patent number: 8412808Abstract: In a service-based remote support delivery system, service engineers supported by an analysis server receive incident reports from both personal computers and from unmanned servers within an enterprise. The incidents arise both from user-created reports of problems, from event annunciators that monitor hardware and software to report events as they occur, and from the periodic gathering of configuration data. These incident reports are combined with host information and contact information and are transmitted to the analysis server as the central site for processing. All incidents in large enterprises are first collected and stored on an SPOP node. Both proactive and reactive system monitoring is thus combined into a uniform system.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2002Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Adam Michael Carr, Jon Christopher Connelly, Kimberly C. Horn, Milica Tutush Yonkaitis

Patent number: 7516362Abstract: A method for analyzing the root cause of system failures on one or more computers. An event is generated when a computer system detects a system failure. The cause of the failure is determined. The event, including the cause is transmitted from the computer system to a central repository. And the system failure is analyzed in the central repository.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2004Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Jon Christopher Connelly, Eric William Loy

Patent number: 7376733Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, system, computer program product, or apparatus that schedules and executes events within a network in real-time. An event processor contacts one or more event schedulers, and it receives back from them event schedule updates. It then calculates the time when each event is to occur from information contained in the received scheduling information for each event. Next, it places event scheduling information contained in the received scheduling information for each event, plus the calculated occurrence time of the corresponding event, into an event queue. Finally, at the time when each event is to occur, as indicated by examination of the calculated times in the event queue, the event processor sends out event firing messages to event processors that are named in the received scheduling information for each event.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2003Date of Patent: May 20, 2008Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Jon Christopher Connelly, Dian Hansen, Robert Glenn Shurtleff, III

Publication number: 20030208695Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system for remotely accessing an external node. The method of the present invention includes the following steps: requesting permission to enter a process of connecting to the external node through an internal user's node, connecting from the user's node to a central authenticating unit, verifying user information at the central authenticating unit, connecting from the central authenticating unit to the external node, and connecting from the user's node to the external node.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2002Publication date: November 6, 2003Inventors: Ronald Soto, Adam Michael Carr, Jon Christopher Connelly, Stewart Mayott

Patent number: 6594786Abstract: A fault tolerant availability meter includes agents for stand-alone computers and each node of a cluster. The agents monitor availability with timestamps and report uptime and downtime events to a server. Additionally, agents on nodes of a cluster monitor cluster, node and package availability and cluster configuration changes and report these event to the server. Events are stored locally on the stand-alone computers and nodes, and additionally, on the server. Events are tracked with a sequence numbers. If the server receives an out-of-sequence event, an agent-server recovery procedure is initiated to restore the missing events from either the agents or the server. The server may generate availability reports for all monitored entities, including one or more stand-alone computers and one or more clusters of computers. Availability is distinguished by planned and unplanned downtime. Furthermore, unavailable and unreachable systems are identified.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2000Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LPInventors: Jon Christopher Connelly, Craig William Bryant, Eric William Loy, Martin Shumway
