Abstract: A solution comprising cost-effective methods and techniques for converting a traditional vending machine into a vending machine with a graphical user interface, multimedia advertising and info kiosk capabilities. A key aspect of this invention is the integration of a consumer DVD player in a vending machine, in which the graphical user interface is implemented as DVD Menu structures stored on a DVD disc that also contains the video clips. Another aspect of this invention, is the changed logic of a traditional vending machine to delay item dispense until a video clip has been played. The present invention provides interfacing methods between a DVD player, a Vending Machine Controller and an optional microcontroller. These methods can be used to implement a communication protocol between a DVD player and a microcontroller. The methods and techniques of the invention can be integrated in an MDB peripheral device of a vending machine.

Abstract: A method for automatically opening a file associated with a predetermined condition is provided. The file is matched with the predetermined condition. Information related to the predetermined condition, such as temperature, light intensity, and sound intensity is detected. The detected information is sent to a processing module. The processing module monitors the detected information to determine whether the predetermined condition is satisfied and sends an instruction to an executing module to open the file when the predetermined condition is satisfied. A system for automatically opening the file associated with the predetermined condition is also disclosed.

Abstract: In a disk array system, multiplexed clusters and multiplexed power source units for supplying power sources to the respective clusters are arranged. Each cluster has a power failure judging unit for judging the power source condition of other cluster. In response to a case where one cluster stops its operation first owing to a power failure, at the power failure, for example, MP of the cluster blocks the portion of the other cluster, and judges the power source condition of the other cluster on the basis of a signal from the power failure judging unit, and records power failure information showing the power source condition to a memory. At power recovery, if the cluster recognizes that the portion in blocked condition of the other cluster is in blockage owing to the power failure, the cluster recovers the portion.
