  • Publication number: 20170272506
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a communication device capable of communicating with each of a control device and a processing device through a network includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry creates a job upon receiving a first request from the control device, the first request designating a content of a process that is executed by the processing device, the job containing information to instruct the processing device to execute the process and a first time limit relevant to the process. The processing circuitry controls transition among a plurality of states of the job. The processing circuitry controls, upon receiving a second request for the job from the processing device or the control device, execution of the second request, based on the first time limit and the state of the job.

  • Publication number: 20160099994
    Abstract: One embodiment relates to an information processing apparatus which sends data via plural sockets by connection-type communications in response to a data request from a request source apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes: a dividing unit which divides the data into plural divisional data, in terms of a division number of the plural divisional data or a data amount of each divisional data; an allocating unit which allocates the divisional data produced by the dividing unit to the plural sockets; and a providing unit which provides the request source apparatus with the divisional data allocated by the allocating unit and a script via the plural sockets. The script causes the request source apparatus to establish communications to be performed with the information processing apparatus via the plural sockets, collect the divisional data produced by the dividing unit, and combine the collected divisional data together.

  • Publication number: 20160014213
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a communication device performs communication with a terminal device via a network and includes first and second connection maintaining units and a switch instructing unit. The first connection maintaining unit maintains a connection established with the terminal device and mediates communication between the terminal device and another terminal device. The second connection maintaining unit maintains a communicable state of the terminal device with the communication device according to a method different from a method implemented by the first connection maintaining unit. When a predetermined switching condition is satisfied, the switch instructing unit instructs the terminal device to switch a method for maintaining a communicable state either from a first method, which is a method implemented by the first connection maintaining unit, to a second method, which is a method implemented by the second connection maintaining unit, or from the second method to the first method.

  • Patent number: 9225653
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a server includes a transmitter, a storage, a determination unit and a controller. The transmitter is configured to transmit data using TCP streams. The storage is configured to store a number of TCP streams which the transmitter used in transmitting the data and a maximum value of a bandwidth which the transmitter used in transmitting the data using the number of TCP streams, in association with each other. The determination unit is configured to determine a number of TCP streams, which the transmitter uses in transmitting new data, based on the stored number, the stored maximum value, and a target value of the bandwidth. The controller is configured to update the stored maximum value when a bandwidth used for transmitting the new data using the determined number is larger than the maximum value associated with the stored number which is identical to the determined number.
