20080240670 | PICTURE RECORDING SYSTEM AND PICTURE RECORDING AND REPRODUCING METHOD - The present invention makes it possible to provide a reproduction resource even in an HDD recorder in which a plurality of storage processes is performed and no resource for providing the reproduction service exists. In order for realizing the above advantage, when the shortage of the reproduction resource occurs in a picture recording process, the picture recording process of the HDD recorder to which a content reproduction request is issued is switched to another HDD recorder, thereby providing the resource for content reproduction. Further, the content data stored in a dispersed manner by distributing the picture recording process is managed uniformly by recording the recording locations of the contents, which is divided and recorded, for every content data. Thus, it becomes possible to provide the content to the equipment issuing the reproduction request as a single content. | 10-02-2008 |
20080313689 | INFORMATION PROCESSOR AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - For use by a network service such as video distribution in a network, there is provided a device that starts a device in which videos are accumulated. A network start requesting device generates a start-requesting WOL packet that includes information on functions to be started after the system is started and sends the WOL packet to a network start device. When the start-requesting WOL packet is received via the network, the network start device recognizes data, which is added to the WOL packet for starting network service functions, and additionally starts the corresponding network service functions. | 12-18-2008 |
20090066544 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM - For providing a user a plural number of trans-coding services with using a plural number of trans-coding services, at high speed, within a home network environment, an information processing apparatus is provided with a function of providing a list of formats, on which format conversion can be made, to a home server, and a function of managing the format conversion processes with using process identifiers, which are shared in common with the server and the information processing apparatus, each of the process identifiers being tied with information of a format conversion method, wherein the format conversion is executed upon a part of contents divided within the home server, following the process identifier designated by the home server, to grasp performances of the information processing apparatuses by measuring throughput per a unit time in the format conversion, and an adjustment is made on an amount of data to be transferred from the home server to the information processing apparatus in the next time, thereby enabling high speed processing of the format conversions. | 03-12-2009 |
20090070840 | Terminal-Cooperated System, Terminal, Server and Method for Uninterrupted Reception of Contents - In a terminal-cooperated system for the uninterrupted reception of contents, the information receiving terminal apparatus includes a unit for transmitting to the mobile terminal the information on content reception switching, and the video information system can uninterruptedly switch over the content reception from the mobile terminal to the information receiving terminal apparatus and from the information receiving terminal apparatus to the mobile terminal, by operating the mobile terminal. | 03-12-2009 |
20090138576 | CONTENT DELIVERY METHOD, SERVER, AND TERMINAL - In hybrid peer-to-peer type content delivery, a server confirms user's intension as to content disclosure, guarantees content delivery by mutual authentication between a client to which content has been delivered and a client to which content has not been delivered, and guarantees the integrity of content having been delivered. Further, the server configures delivery connection based on the network relationship between the clients and priority factors taking account of a reservation status. | 05-28-2009 |
20090178091 | CONTENTS DISTRIBUTION METHOD AND RECEIVING DEVICE - The playback of contents in the course of progressive download is stopped depending on the information of the contents and network environments. Also, contents in the course of the playback of progressive download cannot be fast forwarded. When progressive download is indicated, a contents receiving terminal dynamically allocates resources (bus band, CPU, etc.) used in other stream processing within the receiving terminal and fast downloads a portion not downloaded to avoid the interruption of playing contents. Furthermore, the receiving terminal transmits a required communication band to a home gateway, which performs band control with other communications within a home network to allocate a maximum allocatable communication band to the contents receiving terminal. | 07-09-2009 |
20120117242 | SERVICE LINKAGE SYSTEM AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM - An object of the present invention is to enhance the followability of the automatic scaling of a whole system corresponding to an increase of requests in a service linkage system for linking plural services. A cloud that executes intermediate service receives an estimate of the output of service at a previous stage by an output rate estimating unit and an information gathering response from a cloud management server, estimates an output rate, and outputs the estimate to service at a following stage. A scaling control unit receives the estimate of the output of the service at the previous stage and the information gathering response, determines resources allocated to the intermediate service, and outputs a scaling request to the cloud management server and the output rate estimating unit. | 05-10-2012 |
20120246214 | METHOD FOR SUPPORTING SERVICE SETTING - In the disclosed method for supporting the setting of a service, an allocation set that designates the allocation of a program to an information processing device is generated, the service response time and the consumed system power during use of each allocation set are calculated, and from these evaluation results, an allocation set that meets a standard service response time and reduces consumed system power is selected. | 09-27-2012 |
20130329571 | FAILURE ANALYSIS DEVICE, AND SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SAME - Conventional network tomography techniques do not allow the location or cause of a failure to be specified, and false positives are common due to lack of information. Using aggregation flow mining (AFM) or a similar method, an IMF ( | 12-12-2013 |
