US Patent:

7308439, Dec 11, 2007
Filed:

Jun 6, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/875444
Inventors:

Bruce R. Baird - Salt Lake City UT, US
John M. Zollinger - Houston TX, US
Assignee:

Hyperthink LLC - Salt Lake City UT
International Classification:

G06F 17/30
US Classification:

707 3, 707101, 707102, 7071041
Abstract:

The present invention provides systems and methods for automating a search over a network such as the Internet. A user selects data such as text from within an application. The selected data is activated and a search is performed without the user having to leave the application. The search is performed while the user is continuing within the application. When the search is complete, the search results are made available to the user within the application from which the search was initiated. In one embodiment, the data is pre-searched and the results are cached such that the results are already available should the user desire. The present invention is particularly suited to integration with an operating system such that the methods of the present invention are thereby available to all applications. Alternatively, the present invention can be specific to a particular application.

Distributing Database Differences Corresponding To Database Change Events Made To A Database Table Located On A Server Computer

US Patent:

63212366, Nov 20, 2001
Filed:

Aug 3, 1999
Appl. No.:

9/366658
Inventors:

John M. Zollinger - Salt Lake City UT
Johnathan Devine - San Francisco CA
Assignee:

Arkona, Inc.
International Classification:

G06F 1730
US Classification:

707203
Abstract:

A method, computer program product, and system that allows changes made to an original database table found on a server computer to be reflected in client copies of the database table based on intermittent client requests for synchronization. A server makes periodic updates of table differences between a current table receiving database change events and a reference table. Each client copy of a database table and update created by the server has a sequential version number associated therewith. The server will compare the version number of a client copy of a database table with the most recent version number of the table on the server to determine which updates need be applied in order to make the client copy current. Next, the updates will be translated from a generic format into instructions that are specific to the type of database engine being run on the client. Finally, the instructions are transmitted to the client (along with the new version number) so that the client may operate the database engine to apply the instructions for making the database table current with the original managed on the server.
