  • Patent number: 8972535
    Abstract: A system for automatic configuration of computers on a network is disclosed. In a first aspect a storage area network is disclosed. The network comprises at least one controller; and a plurality of clients coupled to the at least one controller. The network includes a storage device coupled to the at least one controller and the plurality of clients. The controller upon attachment to the network registers itself and notifies the plurality of clients. The plurality of clients then interrogates the controller. Each of the plurality of clients updates its configuration based upon the interrogation. In a second aspect, a method for configuration of computers in a network is disclosed. The method comprises registering at least one controller upon attachment to the network and notifying a plurality of clients by the at least one controller. The method includes interrogating the at least one controller by each of the plurality of clients. The plurality of clients are updated based upon the interrogation.

  • Publication number: 20140351211
    Abstract: Among other things, methods, systems and computer program products are disclosed for manipulating media. In one aspect, synchronization of media files involves identifying a change to an attribute associated with a media file associated with a first media file library located on the host system; accessing a client device list including device IDs for devices associated with the first media file library; identifying a first client device indicated by the device list; accessing a first synchronization order file stored on a server system; modifying the first synchronization order file to indicate the change to the attribute associated with the media file; and providing the modified first synchronization order file to the server system to enable the first client device to apply the indicated change to the attribute associated with the media file within a second media file library located on the first client device.

  • Publication number: 20130239051
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for defining a data structure that represents an edited image managed by an image editing application. The defining of the data structure includes defining an identifier for identifying an original version of the edited image. The defining of the data structure includes defining a set of identifiers for identifying a set of edit instructions for applying edits to the original version of the edited image. The defining of the data structure includes defining a set of cached images for storing a set of different versions of the edited image.

  • Publication number: 20130238747
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method of transmitting images. The method automatically detects through a network a set of devices broadcasting wireless point-to-point communication services. The method displays a list of the set of devices to allow selection of a device in the set of devices. Upon receiving a selection of a particular device in the set of devices for receiving an image, the method identifies image data that represents the image. The method transmits the image data to the particular device for display on the particular device.
