Abstract: The KonaWare Framework is a collection of software components that provide bi-directional transactions between wireless/mobile devices and enterprise server applications. Transactions are achieved between client and server by breaking up the sequence such that the client does not have to wait until the transaction is completed before relinquishing the network connection. By using asynchronous messaging, the message is persisted at every step and can be handed off to the next stage without waiting. The reply from the server comes back to the client as an asynchronous message and completes the transaction. Bi-directional messaging is achieved using server-initiated push techniques such as modem signaling, http listener, SMS or polling using an efficient decaying algorithm. Messages are sent via communication channels that can be a combination of a physical network and a service provider.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for reducing the cost of sending messages over an intermittent network of computing devices via multiple communication channels by creating a first message on a first device, the message intended to be sent to a second device over the network multiple communication channels; applying a first policy to reduce the cost of sending messages over the intermittent network of computing devices, the first policy containing one or more rules to determine whether to send the first message to the second device, each rule being a function of one or more messaging attributes of messages, channels or the system environment; and dynamically updating the first policy by sending a second message to the first device, the second message being a system message that results in the addition, deletion or other modification of the rules contained in the policy to reduce the cost of sending messages over the intermittent network of computing devices.

Abstract: Electronic apparatus and method for decryption, electronic apparatus and method for inputting password encryption, and system comprising said apparatuses are provided. The electronic apparatus comprises a detection unit, a generation unit, and a decryption unit. The detection unit is configured to detect a biological feature. The generation unit is configured to generate a key and a copied key according to the biological feature. The decryption unit is configured to decrypt an encrypted text by a decryption algorithm according to the key to get an input password. The input password is used to decide whether the electronic apparatus can be operated or not. The apparatus for inputting password encryption encrypts the input password by the copied key. The methods are executed to achieve functions of the aforementioned apparatuses.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to track first and second nodes equipped with radio frequency identification (RFID) tag readers by registering a first node and a second node with a registration server; assigning the first and second nodes to first and second home servers respectively, wherein the first node is authorized to communicate with the first home server and the second node is authorized to communicate with the second home server; and for each query requested by each node, sending the query to the registration server to be broadcasted to the home servers.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to track items transported in a container having a network; first and second home servers coupled to the network and communicating with first and second wireless nodes, respectively, wherein the first node is authorized to communicate with the first home server and the second node is authorized to communicate with the second home server; the first node caching relationships among one or more items of the container by writing the relationships on a memory attached to that container; shipping the container to a destination; and at the second node, scanning the memory to determine whether the transported one or more items arrived at the destination; a registration server coupled to the network and adapted to assign the first node to the first home server and the second node to the second home server; and an enterprise computer coupled to the network to query the nodes.

Abstract: A controller for reading and executing a file stored in a non-volatile memory is described. The controller includes a computer interface converter and a control module. The module is used to read the file from the non-volatile memory. The control module simulates the protocol of an optical disk and provides an auto-run identification signal to the operation system of the computer through the computer interface converter. After obtaining the auto-run identification signal, the operation system reads the file via the computer interface converter and automatically executes the file. When no auto-run identification signal is provided, the control module communicates with the operation system by the protocol of a general removable storage unit.
