摘要： A communication system is provided which, upon communication, is capable of making a suitable response by using interpretation execution parts which conform to the background concepts and vocabularies of a conversation. A flexible and smooth information exchange and cooperation are realized among, and between, agents and an existing system by dynamically allocating suitable interpretation execution parts which include an interpreter in conformance to a variety of agent communication languages, content describing languages and ontologies. The agent communication system in a preferred embodiment of this invention is provided with an interpretation execution part control function that scans a directory of interpretation parts such as conversation content monitoring parts, interpreters and translators, upon the time of execution start or during execution, and forms and maintains an interpretation execution part table that defines what interpretation execution parts exist.

摘要： In general, in one aspect, the invention provides a modular application collaborator for providing inter-operability between applications including a plurality of connectors for communicating with a like plurality of applications and an interchange server. The interchange server includes an application collaboration module and service module. The service module transfers messages between connectors and the application collaboration module. The application collaboration defines the inter-operability between two or more applications. The interchange server service module includes a transaction service and an error service. Transactions are executed in the application collaboration module and the transaction service records each action and a compensating action for undoing an associated action. An error service monitors for errors in the interchange server, and, upon detection of an error, stops the execution of a transaction and initiates the execution of any required compensating actions to undo the interrupted transaction. The compensating transactions may be executed at the connectors and are not required to be overseen by the interchange server.

摘要： A message distribution method for distributing a message among a plurality of software products distributed in a network realizes an efficient intelligent distribution environment. When a message is communicated among distributed software products, a service list defined by a combination of data of destination information of the message and process information specified by the message is added to the message. The portion of the service list processed by a destination software product is deleted, and the service list is rewritten as necessary. Thus, the message with the service list is transmitted from a software product to another software product.

摘要： A method and apparatus for providing abstraction layers in the hierarchical structure of a set-top terminal to enable the set-top's firmware to be compatible with different operating systems. An operating system (OS) kernel interface is provided using a first OS abstraction layer that is OS-independent, and a second abstraction layer that is OS-dependent. The interface enables the terminal's firmware to access the kernel's set of functions independently of the OS. The abstraction layers provide an interface for kernel functions for the following kernel constructs: Timers, Threads, Memory, Synchronization and Messaging. The invention benefits terminal manufacturers and developers as well as network operators by allowing set-top firmware to run without modifications due to a change in the set-top's OS.

摘要： An encryption system permits end-to-end encryption of information over an untrusted interconnection network. The information encryption system includes at least one client for processing information. The system also includes at least one storage device for holding the information. At least one key server provides a data key for encrypting and decrypting the information. An encryption module is associated with each client. Each encryption module has a first processor accessing a first memory and a second processor accessing a second memory different from the first memory. The first processor communicates with the associated client. The second processor communicates with the storage device. The first processor communicates with the second processor through a dedicated channel. The second processor obtains the data key from the key server. Information is received from the first processor over the dedicated channel and encrypted using the data key. The encrypted information is then stored on the storage device. The second processor also reads the encrypted information from the storage device, decrypts the information using the data key, and sends the decrypted information to the first processor over the dedicated channel.

摘要： The present invention discloses a centralized certificate management system for thin client devices in data networks and has particular applications to systems having a large number of the thin clients serviced by a proxy server through which the thin clients communicate with a plurality of secure server computers over a data network. According to one aspect, the present invention comprises a certificate management module that causes the server device to manage digital certificates for each of the thin client devices. To minimize the latency of obtaining certificates for each of the thin client devices, the certificate management module reserves a fixed number of free certificates signed by a certificate authority and their respective private keys in a certificate database and frequently updates the free certificate according to a certificate updating message. Whenever a user account is created for a thin client device, the certificate management module fetches one or more free certificates from the certificate database and associate the fetched certificates to the created account and meanwhile the certificate management module creates new free certificates with the certificate authority to fill in the certificate database. Apart from the tradition of obtaining certificates locally in client devices that normally have sufficient computing power, the present invention uses the computing resources in a server device to carry out the task of obtaining and maintaining certificates asynchronously in the proxy server and further. These and other features in the present invention dramatically minimize the demands for computing power and memory in thin client devices like mobile devices, cellular phones, landline telephones or Internet appliance controllers.

摘要： A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for a computer-implemented apportioning system. Work is distributed to processors in a multi-processor system. Initially, during bind-time, a scaling factor is determined for each processor. The scaling factor represents relative processing power in relation to each other processor. Then, portions of a total amount of work are distributed to each processor based on the determined scaling factor of that processor and a determined amount of work for an average processor.

摘要： A remote communication system provides a fast, efficient and user-friendly interface which does not suffer from the inefficiencies of the data transfer bottlenecks inherent in the prior art devices and methods. An operating system based remote communication system is achieved by providing a remote computer with a small, relatively simple terminal program which receives and interprets both data and command instructions from the host system. The present invention employs commands which are based on fundamental tasks that the operating system of the remote system may understand and implement, such as creating windows, buttons, edit fields, listboxes and other operating system objects.

摘要： A computer system splits a data space to partition data between processors or processes. The data space may be split into sub-regions which need not be orthogonal to the axes defined the data space's parameters, using a decision tree. The decision tree can have neural networks in each of its non-terminal nodes that are trained on, and are used to partition, training data. Each terminal, or leaf, node can have a hidden layer neural network trained on the training data that reaches the terminal node. The training of the non-terminal nodes' neural networks can be performed on one processor and the training of the leaf nodes' neural networks can be run on separate processors. Different target values can be used for the training of the networks of different non-terminal nodes. The non-terminal node networks may be hidden layer neural networks. Each non-terminal node automatically may send a desired ratio of the training records it receives to each of its child nodes, so the leaf node networks each receives approximately the same number of training records. The system may automatically configures the tree to have a number of leaf nodes equal to the number of separate processors available to train leaf node networks. After the non-terminal and leaf node networks have been trained, the records of a large data base can be passed through the tree for classification or for estimation of certain parameter values.
