  • Patent number: 9241033
    Abstract: A network server that includes at least a processor is configured to receive, from a first network, a trigger event received in the first network from a non web-enabled device configured to communicate the trigger event to the first network, wherein the trigger event includes a designation of at least one file to be transferred. The network server is further configured to transmit a notification that includes the designation to a second network based on the trigger event, the second network being a web-enabled network communicatively coupled to at least a first web-enabled peer node that is capable of receiving the notification.

  • Publication number: 20100121934
    Abstract: A system and method for managed peer-to-peer (p2p) file sharing. The peer nodes can include a web browser and a p2p agent. The web browser can connect to the Internet and can interface with the p2p agent. The p2p agent provides the file sharing utilities for implementing the p2p network. A web server connected to the Internet can monitor and manage p2p activity, including providing persistent storage for the p2p networks. The web server can interface with a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to provide access to the p2p network for PSTN peer nodes that do not have web browsing capabilities. A method of implementing managed p2p file sharing includes registering users; providing login and logout functions; creating p2p sessions; preparing, forwarding, receiving, accepting and/or rejecting invitations to join p2p sessions; quitting p2p sessions; deleting p2p sessions or selected members of p2p sessions; and sharing and transferring files.

  • Patent number: 6185583
    Abstract: System and method for verifying data in forms. Each form has a corresponding one or more rule sets each with rules that designate a structure, format, or data type for fields in the form. The rule sets are verified in parallel. Rules within a rule set may also be verified in parallel when the processor determines it is beneficial such as for time consuming rule validation.
