Abstract: A system and method for managing multiple live video broadcasts via a public data network on a single viewing channel is disclosed.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for automatically capturing a set of images with a camera-enabled mobile device and for uploading the set of images to a network server is disclosed. The present invention further includes creating an animation of two or more images of the set of images automatically captured by the camera-enabled mobile device.

Abstract: A method for a client to access data files residing on a first data server through a network includes coupling a heterogenous proxy server to the first data server through a first local network protocol, selectively receiving at the heterogeneous proxy server a data file from the first data servers by employing the first local network protocol, translating the data file into a format compatible with transmission through the network, and transmitting the translated data file to the client across the network.

Abstract: A method for delivering a message unit to a destination network resource within a transport communications layer includes the steps of configuring a mapping to the destination network resource based upon a source address of the message unit, and sending the message unit to the destination network resource based upon the mapping.

Abstract: To establish an access-controlled communications path between a client and an access-controlled network resource, a determination is initially made as to whether the client is authorized to access the access-controlled resource. If the client is authorized to access the access-controlled resource, then a validated parameter associated with the client (e.g. the client's network address) is established. Thereafter, a firewall is configured to selectively accept future communications having the validated parameter associated therewith. Upon receiving a communication, a determination is made as to whether the communication has the validated parameter associated therewith. If it does (thereby indicating that the communication is from the authorized client), then the communication is allowed to pass through the firewall to the access-controlled network resource. In this manner, an access-controlled communications path is established between the client and the access-controlled network resource.

Abstract: A method for redirecting communication on a network between a client and a network resource includes executing a software program, the software program configured to listen to at least one communications port of the client during the communication session, the software program redirecting a message received on the communications port to the network resource.

Abstract: A method for emulating a connection-oriented session across a network between a client and a server, using a stateless communication protocol, includes the steps of maintaining a persistent proxy coupling with the server, and transiently establishing a transient proxy coupling between a communication medium server and the persistent proxy coupling, the communication medium server being coupled to the network for passing communications packets back and forth with the client.
