Patent number: 7346655Abstract: The invention disclosed herein enables a collection of computers and associated communications infrastructure to offer a new communications process which allows information providers to broadcast information to a population of information consumers. The information may be targeted to those consumers who have a precisely formulated need for the information. This targeting may be based on information which is inaccessible to other communications protocols. The targeting also includes a time element. Information can be brought to the attention of the consumer precisely when it has become applicable, which may occur immediately upon receipt of the message, but may also occur long after the message arrives. The communications process may operate without intruding on consumers who do not exhibit the precisely-specified need for the information, and it may operate without compromising the security or privacy of the consumers who participate.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2001Date of Patent: March 18, 2008Assignee: BigFix, Inc.Inventors: David Leigh Donoho, David Salim Hindawi, Lisa Ellen Lippincott

Patent number: 6879979Abstract: The invention disclosed herein enables a collection of computers and associated communications infrastructure to offer a new communications process which allows a requestor to receive configuration information of a computational device from a responder. The requester first sends query documents that contain queries for configuration information of a computational device to the responder; the responder automatically collects the answers for the queries and sends a response document that contains the configuration information of the computational device to the requestor. The queries are written in a formal descriptive language which is transparent, safe for network evaluation, and extensible, and the configuration reader of the responder can parse the queries and automatically invoke a set of standard inspectors to obtain the corresponding configuration information.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2002Date of Patent: April 12, 2005Assignee: Bigfix, Inc.Inventors: David Salim Hindawi, David Leigh Donoho, Lisa Ellen Lippincott, Orion Yosef Hindawi, Peter Benjamin Loer, Dennis S.

Publication number: 20040243696Abstract: An apparatus and method for centralized policy management of large-scale networks (221) of computational devices is disclosed. The apparatus includes a number of distributed clients (400) run on registered computers (201-203), gathering policy advisories (401) and reporting (405) relevance (403) to a system administrator (224). The system administrator may view the relevant messages (505) through a management interface (500) and deploy suggested actions to distributed clients (503), where the actions are executed to apply the solutions of the advisories (408).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2004Publication date: December 2, 2004Inventors: David Salim Hindawi, David Leigh Donoho, Lisa Ellen Lippincott, Dennis G Goodrow, James Milton Brown, Peter Lincroft, Peter Benjamin Loer, Orion Yosef Hindawi
