Patent number: 8473548Abstract: An intelligent network system including a client unit and a server unit providing a service to the client unit, and a method and computer-readable medium controlling the same are disclosed. If the server unit copies a process that performs a service requested by the client unit into the client unit, and the server unit cannot provide the service any longer, the process is copied to another available server unit so that the service can be continuously provided. Also, if there is no available server unit, the client unit receives the service using the copy process pre-stored in the client unit itself. Therefore, although the network or the peripheral device is in the worst state, the client unit can stably receive the service.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2010Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Seung Ki Min, Woo Sup Han
