Patent number: 9742883Abstract: A method is described to allow a device to retrieve a message, that is separated into a plurality of fragments, from a data source, wherein the method involves: establishing a first network connection with the data source; receiving a subset of the plurality of fragments; determining the first network connection has ended before completion of said message; establishing one or more subsequent network connections with the data source; and receiving any of the plurality of fragments not within the subset. The characteristics (for example: application protocol, security, speed, reach, bandwidth capability, cost of usage, network type, physical layer type, data-link layer type, or IP address of one or both of the first and second devices) of the first network connection can be potentially different than the subsequent network connections.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2016Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: Iona Technologies LimitedInventors: Allaert J. D. Bosschaert, Sean P. Baker, David J. Hayes, Jamie Vaughan Osborne, Eric Andrew Newcomer

Patent number: 7710958Abstract: A remote mobile device periodically connects with a centralized data server to receive updated information. Because of the mobile nature of the remote device, a download of all available information may not be able to be completed during the initial network connection. When the mobile device can again reconnect to the centralized data server, the two machines are able to continue the exchange of information even if the new network connection uses different underlying technologies or different connection protocols. A fragmentation layer is used in the protocol stack above the transport layer to separate messages into chunks. By tracking which chunks are successfully sent between the two machines, the efficient exchange of messages can occur across multiple, different network connections.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2006Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: IONA Technologies LimitedInventors: Allaert J.
