International Classification:

H04M 3/42
H04L 12/16
H04Q 11/00

US Classification:

37920201, 37920501, 370260, 370266

Abstract:

According to the principles of the invention, there is provided a conferencing system that dynamically assigns calls to DSP resources. The system may attempt to process each audio conference on a single DSP node, so that information about conference participants does not need to be shared across DSP nodes. Further, the mapping of call channels to resources within a DSP node may be automated so that it is transparent to a conferencing system control application. Where more than one DSP node is required for a particular conference, there is further provided a system for linking DSP nodes. There are also provided methods for managing audio conferencing resources.

US Classification:

715760

Abstract:

Methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, are described for dynamically generating a mobile application. A server receives a request from a mobile device to launch an application on the mobile device. The server generates a configuration file based on the launched application. The server transmits the configuration file to the mobile device for generation of a user interface of the launched application using the configuration file. The user interface includes a first display area using browser functionality of the mobile device to display one or more web page elements formatted by the server to appear as native to the mobile device. The user interface further includes a second display area having one or more interface elements that are native to an operating system of the mobile device.

Appl. No.:

8/315394

Inventors:

Paul A. Martel - Fitchburg MA
Craig S. Harris - Acton MA

Assignee:

Ontos, Inc. - Burlington MA

International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

395600

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for accessing and effectively integrating non-object oriented data stores with object applications. An integrating environment is implemented wherein an application using a distributed object database and object database management system (ODBMS) is provided with an interface to external data stores in a manner so as to effect location transparency. The application, accessing data via the ODBMS, can manipulate data in foreign data stores which include external data that is mapped and converted into objects for use by object applications. A storage management application program interface ("SM API"), effects a functional interface for handling objects, referencing objects, implementing iteration and indexing of objects, and implementing object transaction and cache handling. The SM API is part of a modular architecture that includes an external storage manager which implements classes that provide the foundation for engaging external data stores, and which maps and converts external data into objects that can be manipulated by an application using the ODBMS.

International Classification:

G06F 1516

US Classification:

395700

Abstract:

A system for generating globally unique identifiers for objects in a distributed object oriented database. In one embodiment the system comprises at least two processors connected by means of a network to a processor executing a server process which provides globally unique identifiers for objects throughout the network. Each processor on the network may execute one or more client processes, each of which may run transactions against the database. Each such client process transmits a request to the server process which provides the globally unique identifiers when that client process requires a globally unique object identifier for objects which the requesting client process is creating. In response to the request, the server which provides globally unique identifiers transmits a range of globally unique object identifiers to the requesting client process. The requesting client process then allocates object identifiers from this range of globally unique object identifiers to the objects it is creating.
