20080271034 | RESOURCE ALLOCATION SYSTEM, RESOURCE ALLOCATION METHOD, AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION PROGRAM - Disclosed is a resource allocation system including a provisional allocation execution unit that executes provisional allocation for policies other than a policy corresponding to an accepted source request, a shared resource extraction unit that extracts a resource sharable between the policy and other policies, and a determination index calculation unit that calculates an index that depends on resource sharability, and determines an allocation destination so that a storage area is allocated on a storage device with a lower resource sharability in preference to other storage devices. | 10-30-2008 |
20090164721 | HIERARCHICAL STORAGE CONTROL APPARATUS, HIERARCHICAL STORAGE CONTROL SYSTEM, HIERARCHICAL STORAGE CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM FOR CONTROLLING STORAGE APPARATUS HAVING HIERARCHICAL STRUCTURE - An extractor extracts a plurality of storage areas storing identical data strings therein from the storage areas of a lower storage layer. A layer storage controller associates the extracted storage areas with a single storage area of an upper storage layer. | 06-25-2009 |
20100023489 | METHOD OF DISTRIBUTING CONTENTS AND SYSTEM - A method of distributing contents including steps of: calculating feature quantities of contents written in a plurality of files by using a common calculation operation; allotting a common ID to feature quantities which are equivalent to each other among the calculated feature quantities; associating the plurality of files with the IDs corresponding to said files, and storing the associated files and IDs into a node of a network; gathering, when obtaining the stored file from the node, information on ID of said file and said node through the network; requesting the node shown in the gathered information to transmit the file corresponding to the ID shown in said information; and transmitting the requested file from the node. | 01-28-2010 |
20110320750 | INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD - The present invention provides information storage system and method capable of changing an information storage format to a format suitable for the data utilization form. There are provided a means that records history information of information processing on data, a plurality of information storing means that store information in mutually different information storage formats, and an information storage format control means that changes an information storage format of data, on the basis of a history of processing relating to the data. | 12-29-2011 |
20120102086 | PROCESSING NODE SELECTION SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING NODE, PROCESSING EXECUTION METHOD AND PROGRAM - A processing node selection system comprises: a first node that has a processing resource; and a second node that has a processing resource and stores data used in processing. A selection is made of a node with a smaller total volume of data to be exchanged between the first and second nodes, as a node to execute the processing when processing is executed using data stored in the second node and the processing result is outputted by the first node. | 04-26-2012 |
20120254215 | DISTRIBUTED FILE SYSTEM, DATA SELECTION METHOD THEREOF, AND PROGRAM - A distributed file system includes: a storage system including a plurality of storage units distributing and storing data corresponding to metadata, each of the storage units being in one of a plurality of operating states; a data acquisition unit acquiring data corresponding to a search request including desired metadata; and a management unit managing which of the storage units stores data corresponding to the metadata, managing an operating state of each of the storage units, and supplying a search result based on management contents responsive to a search request from the data acquisition unit. Based on search result, data acquisition unit accesses storage unit(s) in an active state more preferentially than storage unit(s) in an inactive state to acquire desired data. | 10-04-2012 |
20140323078 | DETERMINATION OF ORDER OF TRANSMISSION DESTINATION - A memory unit stores a plurality of transmission destinations. A control unit determines an order of priority of transmission destinations based on states of the plurality of transmission destinations that are stored by the memory unit, and then, upon receiving predetermined input, originates a call to the transmission destination having the highest order of priority of transmission destinations that was determined. | 10-30-2014 |
20140350865 | CONTENT INFORMATION OUTPUT - A communication terminal obtains biological information. The communication terminal determines whether the obtained biological information satisfies preset conditions. When it is determined that the biological information satisfies preset conditions, the communication terminal creates content information indicating the contents of the output information. The communication terminal then provides the created content information to other communication terminals. | 11-27-2014 |
