A corresponding relation between identification information for identifying a session generated in a distributed server and the server that has generated the session corresponding to the identification information is set in the server load balancer by the service of a second communication protocol as uniqueness assurance information for uniqueness assurance. Thus, when the provision of a service is requested using a second communication protocol by the terminal device, the server load balancer refers to the set uniqueness assurance information and selects the server for providing the service from among the plurality of servers. | 2010-04-08 |
20100088418 | EDGE TRAVERSAL SERVICE DORMANCY - A system maintains a dormant state in the host, in which no beacons (or “bubbles”) are transmitted from the host when no application or service (collectively, “processes”) of the host is accepting unsolicited traffic via the edge traversal service. When at least one application or service begins to accept unsolicited traffic via the edge traversal service, the host enters a qualified state and begins transmitting the beacons. As each additional application or service begins to accept such traffic, the number of accepting applications and services is maintained. As applications and services terminate acceptance of such traffic, the number of accepting applications and services is decremented. When the last application or service terminates acceptance of unsolicited traffic via the edge traversal service, the host re-enters the dormant state and ceases transmission of its beacons. | 2010-04-08 |
20100088419 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING A SETUP TIMER IN A SIP-BASED NETWORK - A system and method for providing a setup timer in a SIP-based network including initiating a session by transmitting one or more messages to a first user. The system and method also comprises starting a first timer upon transmitting the one or more messages, wherein the first timer is configured to expire after a first predetermined time period. The system and method further comprises starting a second timer upon transmitting the one or more messages, wherein the second timer is configured to expire after a second predetermined time period. The system and method furthermore comprises transmitting one or more instructions upon expiration of at least one of the first timer and the second timer, and taking one or more actions based at least in part on the one or more instructions. | 2010-04-08 |
20100088420 | DATA PROCESSING DEVICE, PARTICULARLY A SET-TOP BOX FOR CONNECTION TO A RECEIVER, INPUT DEVICE FOR THE CONTROL OF A DATA PROCESSING DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A DATA PROCESSING DEVICE - A data processing device, particularly a set-top box, is connected to a receiver and a communication network from which it receives data, including content data and at least one item of identification data. The data processing device processes the data and transmits the processed data to the receiver for the output thereof. The data processing device is further configured to receive and process a code sent by an input device of the data processing device and/or of the receiver, the code being associated with an item of the identification data. In response to the receipt of the code, a communication connection is established between the data processing device, or a communication terminal, and a unit of the communication network, which is associated with the item of the identification data. | 2010-04-08 |
20100088421 | Evaluating Initial Filter Criteria - A method of evaluating Initial Filter Criteria (IFC) at a terminating Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) in an IP Multimedia Subsystem network. Upon receiving a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message containing a destination Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), the S-CSCF applies an Initial Filter Criterion to the message, sends the message to an Application Server (AS), and suspends further IFC evaluation. When a return message is received from the AS, the S-CSCF determines whether the AS changed the URI. If so, the S-CSCF makes a determination of whether to resume IFC evaluation. If the AS did not change the URI, the S-CSCF resumes IFC evaluation. | 2010-04-08 |
20100088422 | DYNAMIC ALLOCATION OF A QUOTA OF CONSUMER NODES CONNECTING TO A RESOURCE NODE OF A PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK - A method for determining a quota for connecting a plurality of consumer nodes to a resource node. The method comprises periodically determining the quota of consumer nodes acceptable for receiving connection requests by the resource node; receiving a connection request from a consumer node to connect to the resource node; and determining based on the quota whether to accept the connection request. In one embodiment the resource node and the consumer nodes are connected in a realtime peer-to-peer network, and the resource node is adapted to distribute multimedia content to the consumer nodes over the network. | 2010-04-08 |
