Patent number: 8930937Abstract: A client computer sends application information about a software application to a server system. The server system performs a comparison between the application information about the software application and the most-updated upgrade package for the software application. The most-updated upgrade package for the software application is stored in a part database. The most-updated upgrade package for the software application is received by the client system automatically when the comparison indicates that the most-updated upgrade package has not been installed on the client system. A client database stores a plurality of configuration files for a plurality of client systems. A first configuration file provides the sever system with the knowledge of the software applications installed on the client system. The application information about the software application comprises version information of the software applications and is stored in a database in the client system.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2012Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Dell Marketing L.P.Inventors: Jed McCaleb, Russel Rive

Patent number: 6751794Abstract: A method to remotely update software for a plurality of client system is disclosed. A client system sends a request for an upgrade to a server system. The request includes a unique identification that is recognized by the server system as belonging to the client system. In response, the server system sends an instruction to the client system that directs the client system to collect application information about the software application installed on the client system. The client system sends the application information to the server system. The server system performs a comparison between the application information about the software application and the most-updated upgrade package for the software application. The server system sends the most-updated upgrade package for the software application to the client system.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2000Date of Patent: June 15, 2004Assignee: Everdream CorporationInventors: Jed McCaleb, Russel Rive
