  • Device Emulation to Facilitate Data Transfer

    Issued US 8095623

    Described is a technology by which a circuit, such as one incorporated into a USB-like cable, couples a client computing device to a server computing device. The circuit outputs identification information to each computing device to indicate that the circuit corresponds to a type of hardware device, (e.g., a CD-ROM player) and an attribute (e.g., a migration cable). The circuit then allows the communication of data between the first computing device and the second computing device. For example,…

    Described is a technology by which a circuit, such as one incorporated into a USB-like cable, couples a client computing device to a server computing device. The circuit outputs identification information to each computing device to indicate that the circuit corresponds to a type of hardware device, (e.g., a CD-ROM player) and an attribute (e.g., a migration cable). The circuit then allows the communication of data between the first computing device and the second computing device. For example, the server recognizes the migration cable attribute and can emulate the CD-ROM device recognized by the client, whereby the server may provide data including software code to the client computing device by emulating the CD-ROM device. Via the software code, the client computing device is bootstrapped to recognize that it is connected to the server instead of the hardware device. Data may then be migrated from the client to the server.

  • Method and System for an Incidental Feedback Platform

    Issued US 7391312

    This invention relates to online crash analysis. Prior art incident reporting mechanisms are often too general to provide useful information regarding the incidents of particular applications. This invention addresses this problem by allowing programmers and support personnel to specify which information is collected from their applications in the case of particular incidents. Claims are directed to collecting information in response to an incident by registering for a specific incident or…

    This invention relates to online crash analysis. Prior art incident reporting mechanisms are often too general to provide useful information regarding the incidents of particular applications. This invention addresses this problem by allowing programmers and support personnel to specify which information is collected from their applications in the case of particular incidents. Claims are directed to collecting information in response to an incident by registering for a specific incident or an incident type and collecting a predetermined set of information associated with the incident or incident type.

  • Method and system for downloading updates for software installation

    Issued US 6493871

    A method and system for downloading software update data for installing a revised software product on a client computer minimizes the amount of update data to be transmitted over the network by downloading only those files needed to put the client computer in the state for installing the product. In the beginning of the downloading process, the client computer obtains from a setup server an initial setup package that includes a setup program and a list of files required for installing the…

    A method and system for downloading software update data for installing a revised software product on a client computer minimizes the amount of update data to be transmitted over the network by downloading only those files needed to put the client computer in the state for installing the product. In the beginning of the downloading process, the client computer obtains from a setup server an initial setup package that includes a setup program and a list of files required for installing the software product. The setup program running on the client computer then determines whether some current or earlier versions of those files required for installation already exist on the client computer, and compiles a request list of files needed for updating the client computer. The client computer sends the request list to a download server, which maintains a collection of update files and patches. In response to the request list, the download server downloads updating files to the client. Depending of the availability of the requested files or other factors, the downloaded files may or may not be exactly those requested. Using the downloaded files, the setup program updates the existing files to provide the set of installation files on the client computer. The desired revised software product is then installed on the client computer.
