20100333080 | PEER-TO-PEER METHOD OF DEPLOYING AND MANAGING EXECUTABLE CODE AND ASSOCIATED PLUG-INS - A system for peer-to peer distributed client updates. The system includes a server to which a list of target network accessible devices as devices that are to receive an update file is uploaded. The server then generates a list of the targeted network accessible devices, which includes a plurality of superior nodes and a plurality of subordinate nodes, which are each subordinate to a respective one of the superior nodes. The server then sends an update file to each of said superior nodes, which sends the update file to each of the nodes subordinate to the respective superior nodes. Each of the target network accessible devices then directly transmits a reporting result indicating a result of a software update at each of the superior and subordinate nodes. | 12-30-2010 |
20100333082 | CENTRALIZED UTILITY FOR AUTOMATED RETRIEVAL, DISTRIBUTION/INSTALLATION, AND LICENSING MANAGEMENT OF SOFTWARE UPDATES USING PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNICATION - A system for peer-to peer distributed client updates. The system includes an update server to which a list of target network accessible devices as devices that are to receive an update file is uploaded. The update server also receives an update file from a licensing server remote from the server. The generates a list of the targeted network accessible devices, which includes a plurality of superior nodes and a plurality of subordinate nodes, which are each subordinate to a respective one of the superior nodes. The server then sends the update file to each of said superior nodes, which send the update message to each of the nodes subordinate to the respective superior nodes. | 12-30-2010 |
20110016518 | SYSTEM TO ENABLE A SINGLE SIGN-ON BETWEEN A DOCUMENT STORAGE SERVICE AND CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT SERVICE - Described herein is a method for producing a single sign-on between two network accessible software applications using a server apparatus having a processor and a computer readable medium. The method includes calling a new program interface using a first software application, initiating a handshake between a first software application adaptor and the first software application, sending authentication information from the first software application to the first software application adaptor, authenticating the authentication information using a second software application and returning a valid session ID from said second software application to said first software application via the first software application adaptor. | 01-20-2011 |
20110032571 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMPENSATING FOR RESOURCE UNAVAILABILITY IN AN IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM - A method and system for providing back-up server functionality in an image processing system. Upon detecting that a primary server is unavailable an image processing device switches processing operations to a back-up server configured to receive information from the image processing device. The back-up server is configured to have substantially similar configuration and operate similarly to the primary server. | 02-10-2011 |
20110066471 | DATA MATCHING AND SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN TWO APPLICATIONS - The invention relates to a method of data matching and synchronization between two applications using at least one management server and a client.
