Abstract: A customer automatically receiving an assignment on his wireless device without the need to visit a reservation desk is provided. When the customer initially makes a reservation with a vendor, a computer records the wireless device's identification. When the customer arrives at or near the vendor's location, the system creates an out-of-range condition for the wireless device by shielding a portion of a location that the customer will be passing through. In response, the wireless device re-scans the control channels in an attempt to establish better communications with a wireless communication tower. A transceiver positioned in the transition zone transmits a channel that is detected and locked-on by the wireless device. The wireless device transmits its identification to the transceiver, which in turn forwards it to the computer. The computer sends assignment information to the wireless device.

Abstract: A method for content checking a document, the method including: if the document is a word processing document then: determining if a profile category has been associated with the word processing document; if a profile category has not been associated with the word processing document, applying a default profile rule to perform the content checking; if a profile category has been associated with the word processing document, accessing a user-defined profile rule and applying the user-defined profile rule to perform the content checking; if the document is an email then: determining a profile category for each recipient of the email; determining a profile rule associated with each recipient of the email in response to the profile category; selecting one of the profile rules based on a rank of the profile rules; applying the selected profile rule to perform the content checking of the email.

Abstract: A system and method for replicating data to multiple replica copies. The method includes connecting a replication device housing a replica data source to a primary data source via a network for communicating. Then, establishing a replication session between the primary data source and the replica data source. Then, transmitting the data from the primary data source to the replica data source. Then, replicating the transmitted data on the replica data source. Then, multicasting the replicated data from the replication device to a plurality of secondary devices in communication with the replication device via the network. Each secondary device storing a replica of the primary data source, wherein the replication device has a fixed IP address and when secondary devices are configured for data replication, the secondary device is configured with its own IP address and the IP address of the replication device as a remote IP address.

Abstract: Controlling access to a facility includes sending a program and profile for facility services to a user's portable device. The services have telephones connected via a local area network (“LAN”), so a call originating on the LAN to such a telephone may be completed on the LAN without accessing a wide area telephone network (“WAN”). The program is executed on the user's portable device so that the device operates in a facility mode. In this mode, the device displays services from the profile, so that the user can select a service and easily place telephone calls to it solely over the LAN. Responsive to the user's service selection, in a normal operating sub-mode the user's portable device places a call via the WAN using a longer telephone number and in a local operating sub-mode the user's portable device places the call via the LAN using a shortcut number.

Abstract: Accessing information about a facility includes loading a program and profile for facility services in a memory associated with a user's wireless portable device. The services have telephones connected via a local area network (“LAN”), so that a call originating on the LAN to such a telephone may be completed on the LAN without accessing a wide area telephone network (“WAN”). The program is executed on the user's portable device so that the device operates in a facility mode. In this mode the device displays the services from the profile, so that the user can select among them and easily place telephone calls to them solely over the LAN. In one alternative, normal and local sub-modes of operation are enabled. In the normal sub-mode the portable device places calls for the selected service via the WAN and in the local sub-mode the calls are solely over the LAN.

Abstract: A method, system, and program for managing failover of J2EE compliant middleware in a high availability system are provided. A primary node and a secondary node each run the same J2EE compliant middleware stack comprising layers including a load balancer, a web server, a web application server, a message control server, a monitoring server, and a database control server. In the primary node, all layers are active. In the secondary node, part of the layers are active and part of the layers are in standby. A data replication partition shared between the primary node and the secondary node includes persistent resource data accessible to a selection of the layers of the primary node.

Abstract: A system and method to uniquely identify identically configured branches in a distributed enterprise such that branch specific configuration information may be used to configure computing devices in the identified branch are provided. With the system and method, upon being deployed in a branch location, the computing device sends a communication to a centralized configuration server using an address provided in default initial configuration information. The communication is sent from the computing device to a branch router which adds its address to the communication. The branch router address is then used by the centralized configuration server to identify the branch and thus, configuration information for computing devices of the branch. The configuration information may then be provided to the computing device for configuration of the computing device for branch-specific operation.

Abstract: A method, system, and program for remote enterprise management of high availability systems are provided. Multiple high availability systems are networked in an enterprise and managed overall by a remote enterprise server. Within each high availability system, a cluster management controller monitors a status of a particular component of the high availability system and reacting to adjust the high availability system when the status indicates an error. In addition, with each high availability system, a monitoring controller detects when the cluster management controller reacts to the status of the particular component and detects a condition of a multiple components of the high availability system. The monitoring controller then reports the error and the condition of the components to the remote enterprise server. The remote enterprise server is enabled to manage each high availability system based on the reports received from each of the multiple high availability systems.
