20120311099 | METHOD OF DISTRIBUTING FILES, FILE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, MASTER SERVER, COMPUTER READABLE, NON-TRANSITORY MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM FOR DISTRIBUTING FILES, METHOD OF DISTRIBUTING DATA, AND DATA DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM - A method of distributing distribution files from a master server possessing the distribution files to servers is disclosed. The method includes generating a distribution scheme having a hierarchical structure, the tree structure including nodes and having the master server in a top node, wherein a distribution file group including the distribution files is to be allocated to each node, and a subordinate node is to include a subset of a distribution file group allocated to a superior node, which is located a level superior to the subordinate node; allocating the servers to each node, based on system status information indicating a status of the master server and/or the servers; distributing at least one distribution file to each server, based on the distribution scheme; and exchanging directly among servers corresponding to each nodes, not possessed by the servers corresponding to the respective nodes. | 12-06-2012 |
20130042243 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - A procedure includes: receiving a request to monitor a target monitored item of the computer from a first information processing apparatus; inquiring the first information processing apparatus for a first monitoring condition; and determining a second information processing apparatus by referring to monitoring information. The monitoring information includes information indicating a specific monitored item and a monitoring condition for monitoring the specific monitored item in association with an identifier for identifying an information processing apparatus. The procedure further includes: instructing one of the first and second information processing apparatuses to monitor the target monitored item of the computer in accordance with the first monitoring condition for monitoring the target monitored item by the other one of the first and second information processing apparatuses; and instructing the other one of the first and second information processing apparatuses not to transmit a request to monitor the target monitored item. | 02-14-2013 |
20130117447 | COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM STORING PROCESS FOR MONITORING COMPUTER, ITS METHOD AND APPARATUS - For each group including a plurality of computers, a monitoring computer includes a storage storing a monitoring path which associates a monitoring-source computer that is an origin of monitoring with at least one computer that is both a monitored target and a monitoring source. When an instruction including specification information specifying a group is given, the monitoring computer references the monitoring path in the storage and distributes a monitoring path related to the group specified by the specification information to each computer belonging to the group specified by the specification information. The monitoring computer makes a request for the monitoring-source computer that is the origin of monitoring in the monitoring path to monitor another computer in conformity with the monitoring path. | 05-09-2013 |
20140359134 | INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM STORING A PROGRAM - A first network device determines whether it is available to transmit division data which is transmitted from a first virtual machine execution apparatus to a second network device which is provided at a side of a second virtual machine execution apparatus among a plurality of network devices, and stores the division data in a storing device when determining that it is not available to transmit, and transmit the division data in the storing device to the second network device when determining that it is available to transmit the division data to the second network device. | 12-04-2014 |
20150180982 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SELECTING A NODE RELAYING DATA COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SERVERS - An apparatus receives, from a management server device, three-dimensional disposition information pertaining to positions of a plurality of server devices each including a wireless communication unit, and converts the three-dimensional disposition information into two-dimensional disposition information. The apparatus calculates, based on the two-dimensional disposition information, a straight line distance indicating a length of a straight line between a first server device in the plurality of server devices and each of second server devices to which the first server device transmits data, and selects, from among the plurality of server devices, a relay server device for relaying data between the first server device and the second server devices, based on the calculated straight line distances. | 06-25-2015 |

20120299835 | TOUCHSCREEN JAPANESE CHARACTER SELECTION THROUGH SLIDING INPUT - Systems, methods, and computer media for selecting characters through touchscreen input are provided. A user selection of a first character, such as a Japanese kana character, displayed on a touchscreen is received. A plurality of additional characters syllabically related to the first character are identified. A presentation order of the plurality of additional characters is identified. In response to receiving the user selection of the first character, at least a first and a second additional character from the plurality of syllabically related additional characters are displayed. The first additional character is displayed adjacent to the first character, and the second additional character is displayed adjacent to the first additional character. The displayed first and second additional characters are selectable by a user touch input. | 11-29-2012 |
20120304074 | DEVICE USER INTERFACE TO INPUT EMOJI AND OTHER SYMBOLS - An integrated symbols user interface (UI) provides a collection of different symbols for inputting symbols into messages, such as email message, IM messages, and SMS text messages. The integrated symbols UI may group symbols in a number of different category panes. Additionally, the integrated symbols UI may provide a history pane with previously used symbols. Only a portion of the integrated symbols UI may be displayed on a display screen of device at a time. A user may seamlessly pan over the integrated symbols UI to move between the panes. In some embodiments, the integrated symbols UI may also include a category list pane that allows a user to navigate directly to a particular category pane or the history pane. | 11-29-2012 |
20130339983 | CREATION AND CONTEXT-AWARE PRESENTATION OF CUSTOMIZED EMOTICON ITEM SETS - Embodiments provide context-aware inclusion of emoticon item sets in applications and/or services. The emoticon item sets include a plurality of emoticon images or other emoticons. A computing device creates custom emoticon item sets for each of the applications. Based on a determined execution context, the computing device selects the emoticon item set and presents the selected emoticon item set for use within the execution context by a user of the computing device. | 12-19-2013 |
