20130246585 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPENING A BROWSER AND METHOD AND SERVER FOR SENDING A SPLASH SCREEN IMAGE - Discloses are a method and apparatus for opening a browser and a method and server for sending a splash screen image, relating to the field of communication technology. The method includes: receiving a signal for starting up a browser and opening the browser; judging whether a locally stored first splash screen image is valid at the current time; if yes, displaying the first splash screen image, if not, displaying a local default second splash screen image. The apparatus includes: a startup module and a display module. The method includes: receiving first information sent by a client, where the first information includes client basic information and image information of a first splash screen image; and searching for a third splash screen image that matches the first information and sending the third splash screen image to the client. The server includes: a receiving module and a searching and sending module. | 2013-09-19 |
20130246586 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SUPPLYING MEDIA OVER COMMUNICATION NETWORKS - Methods and systems for supplying media over communication networks are described. In one embodiment, a media supplier determines whether a media object hosted on a web server will be supplied to a client by streaming or not by streaming. Preferably, if the determination is to stream, the media supplier streams the media object to the client. In some cases, the same media supplier may be capable of supplying clients with media objects hosted on any of at least two web servers. | 2013-09-19 |
20130246587 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR IDENTIFYING THE IMPACT OF CHANGES IN COMPUTER NETWORKS - The impact of device configuration changes on operational issues and policy compliance in a computer network can be discerned from a visual data presentation that jointly shows representations of changes, issues, and policy compliance in a common view for a group of network devices. Configuration information is collected from devices in the computer network and processed to determine whether a change has occurred in a configuration of any of the devices, whether any operational issues exist for each of the devices, and whether any of the devices are not in compliance with any applicable operational policies. A display device displays the visual data presentation to allow an operator to see trends and relationships between device configuration changes and operational issues and incidents of policy non-compliance. The visual data presentation can be depicted as a graphical timeline view, a network topology view, or a table view of the information. | 2013-09-19 |
20130246588 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DATA MOBILITY WITH A CLOUD ARCHITECTURE - Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems and corresponding methods for storing and/or redistributing data within a network. In various aspects, data and/or sets of data stored in a database, data store, or other type of database storage system may be pulled, pushed, distributed, redistributed, or otherwise positioned at one or more data caches and/or servers strategically located across an enterprise network, a content delivery network (“CDN”), etc., and may be accessible over such networks, other networks, and/or the Internet. | 2013-09-19 |
20130246589 | Method and System for a Cloud Frame Architecture - A cloud frame provides a framework comprising a monitoring and network services to support hardware nodes such as computing nodes and storage nodes. Cloud frames may be organized into a cluster of cloud frames. Hardware nodes in a cloud frame environment may conduct self-allocation of needed resources, which in turn may be provided by other hardware nodes in the cloud frame environment. | 2013-09-19 |
20130246590 | AUTONOMOUS NETWORK DEVICE CONFIGURATION METHOD - An embodiment of the present invention comprises a method of configuring one or more target network devices for operation, that further comprises the steps of creating an object for deployment to a predetermined target network device, the object having configuration data for configuring the target network device, and at least one of identification data identifying the object, an autonomous encapsulated agent for executing necessary steps for installing the configuration data, identification data identifying the predetermined target network device, and authentication data for authenticating at least one of the predetermined target network device identification data and object identification data, transporting the object to the predetermined target network device, and the autonomous encapsulated agent begins an on-site process of installing the configuration data in the predetermined target network device. | 2013-09-19 |
20130246591 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERIC IP MULTIMEDIA RESIDENTIAL GATEWAYS - A common IP layer client device interface within an IP multimedia gateway (IMG) is configured to connect client devices to broadband IP networks such as the Internet based on determined device capabilities. Broadband IP network interfaces within the IMG are configured to enable communication between the IMG and broadband IP networks based on the determined device capabilities. Content provided by various service managers are communicated with the client devices utilizing the common IP layer client device interface and the configured network interfaces. Network capabilities may be determined during the device and network discovery. Protocol translation, media transcoding and/or dynamic device configuration may be performed based on the determined device capabilities, and based on the determined network capabilities. The IMG may adjust system timing and manage power consumptions for service deployment over corresponding client devices. Information may be routed or distributed by the IMRG among the client devices when needed. | 2013-09-19 |
20130246592 | ELECTRONIC MESSAGE MANAGER SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR SCANNING AN ELECTRONIC MESSAGE FOR UNWANTED CONTENT AND ASSOCIATED UNWANTED SITES - A system, method, and computer program product are provided for scanning an electronic message for unwanted content and associated unwanted sites in response to a request. In use, a request is received via a network to scan an electronic message prior to opening the electronic message, utilizing an electronic message manager. In addition, the electronic message is scanned for unwanted content and associated unwanted sites, in response to the request. Further, a response to the request is sent via the network. | 2013-09-19 |
