The sender comprises a base version of the file and optionally one or more delta files. The receiver issues a request to get updates for the file and indicates a unique ID associated with the version available at the receiver. The sender determines the version available to the receiver, and updates the receiver with all delta files accumulated since the receiver received the last update of the file. If the version of the receiver is older than the base version, then the base version and all delta files are sent to the receiver. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090031004 | TECHNIQUES FOR SHARING CONTENT BETWEEN PORTALS - Techniques for sharing content between portals. A producer portal may identify content to be shared with one or more consumer portals. One or more of the shared content objects may then be copied to a consumer portal as remote delta link objects. Changes or modifications to the source object at the producer portal are automatically reflected in the corresponding target remote delta link object on the consumer portal. Any modifications or customizations made to the remote delta link object at the consumer portal override those of the producer's source object. In this manner, changes made to the second object are reflected in the first object while preserving the changes/modifications made to the first object on the first portal. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20080256554 | METHOD AND MODULES FOR GENERATING CLIENT-SERVER APPLICATIONS - A multi-model-view-controller (MMVC) design pattern for generating client-server applications, which overcomes the disadvantages of the MVC design pattern. In an application generated according to the MMVC design pattern initial data is provided by the server model via the controller to the client model. Subsequent data is requested from the server model by the controller and passed to the client model. The initial and subsequent data are fetched according to predetermined rules. The predetermined rules can be based on personal details of the user, such as identity or role, on the server or client computing platforms, on the application, or other factors. | 10-16-2008 |
