  • Patent number: 10440125
    Abstract: A method for maintaining transmission control protocol (TCP) connection and a computer system are provided. The method is adapted to a computer system having a network card and a processor, wherein the processor executes an operating system. In the method, a first TCP connection with a remote server is first established via the network card. Then, after the operating system enters a power saving mode, a wake-up packet transmitted by the remote server through the first TCP connection is received to wake the operating system. The operating system resets the retransmission time of the remote server transmitting the wake-up packet when resuming a normal operation mode.

  • Patent number: 10187351
    Abstract: A maintenance method for network connection and a computer system are provided. The method is adapted to a computer system having a timer. The timer is configured to regularly wake up the computer system to check whether a network connection is working normally. In the method, the computer system is waked up at intervals of a first time interval within a predetermined period and a current IP address of the computer system is extracted. The predetermined period is divided into a plurality of periods by the first time interval. Whether a change occurs on the IP address is determined withing each of the periods, and accordingly the computer system is waked up to check the network connection.
