  • Patent number: 10044590
    Abstract: A method of effective retaining of NAT channel service is provided. The method is applicable to a network system comprising at least one intranet device, a NAT network device and at least one server, in which the NAT network device is allocated with a plurality of NAT channel ports. The intranet device operates a process for detecting a valid period of the NAT channel with respect to the server via the NAT channel ports. The intranet device periodically transmits a packet, within the valid period of the NAT channel, to the server via the NAT channel ports so as to allow each NAT channel to constantly retain active to provide network transmission service.

  • Patent number: 9755928
    Abstract: When a first device is establishing a point-to-point connection with a second device, a server provides connection instructions for assistance. The connection instructions define multiple connection flows. When the connection instructions are received, the first device attempts a first connection flow under a priority order. If failed, another connection is tried by the first device. The server monitors connection status and adjusts the connection instructions according to statistics and circumstances.

  • Patent number: 8719107
    Abstract: In a machine-implemented method for assisting labeling of correct product selling prices on a shopping website, upon receipt of an input of a product name and a selling price of a product, a network interface program is enabled to search a specific shopping website for selling prices of related product items. An average selling price of the related product items thus located is found, and a determination as to whether a difference between the inputted product selling price and the average selling price is greater than a preset value is made. Acceptance of the inputted product selling price is refused and a warning message is issued if affirmative. The inputted product selling price is accepted and stored if otherwise. Accordingly, an operator of the shopping website can be assisted to detect pricing errors so as to prevent labeling of incorrect product selling prices due to oversight.
