摘要:
A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for managing transactions on point-of-sale terminals comprising a peer-to-peer network in a retail data processing system. A purchase transaction for a customer is initiated on a point-of-sale terminal in the system. Responsive to receiving a first input from a user of the point-of-sale terminal, the purchase transaction is suspended to form a suspended purchase transaction. Information about the customer is added to the suspended purchase transaction. The suspended purchase transaction is stored as a file on the point-of-sale terminal. Responsive to receiving a second input from the user of the point-of-sale terminal, a locally-stored list of suspended purchase transactions on the point-of-sale terminal is searched using the information about the customer. Responsive to locating the suspended transaction matching the information about the customer, the suspended transaction is selected to restart the suspended purchase transaction on the point-of-sale terminal.

Failover system for video surveillance. A video coverage area for each camera in the system is calculated by combining sensory information and optical specifications of each corresponding camera. The video coverage area information is embedded in a corresponding file of each camera and is used to autonomously re-orient operating cameras to cover a failed coverage area due to a non-operating camera.

A profile management apparatus for controlling available media content includes an individual identifier module, a profile creation module, a profile selection module, and a media control module. The individual identifier module automatically identifies one or more individuals as currently within a perceiving range of an output device receiving input from a media player without user input. The profile creation module automatically creates a new profile without user input in response to determining that a profile associated with the one or more individuals does not exist. The profile selection module selects at least one profile associated with the one or more individuals. The media control module controls media that is available for selection on the media player based one or more of media usage information and content restriction rules of the at least one profile.
摘要:
A method, system, and article for dynamic management of two or more operating system images for at least two client machines operating in a computer system sub-network. Different physical areas of the sub-network support separate image of the operating system images. As the client machines may be individually subject to movement within the sub-network, an appropriate operating system image is dynamically selected and uploaded to one or more of the individual client machines based upon the physical location thereof.

Provided is a method for assigning a domain host configuration protocol (DHCP) server from a list of available DHCP servers based upon user selected criteria. When a network router receives a request for an IP address from a computer, or “client,” connected to a network, the request is analyzed for information related to both the client and the available DHCP servers. The analysis may be based upon a number of factors such as the number of previous requests to a particular DHCP server and the proximity of the servers to the computer requesting the IP address. Once the router determines an appropriate DHCP server for a particular IP address request, the client request is forwarded to that DHCP server. The process is completely transparent to both the requesting client and to the selected DHCP server.
摘要:
A system and method for replicating data to multiple replica copies. The method includes connecting a replication device housing a replica data source to a primary data source via a network for communicating. Then, establishing a replication session between the primary data source and the replica data source. Then, transmitting the data from the primary data source to the replica data source. Then, replicating the transmitted data on the replica data source. Then, multicasting the replicated data from the replication device to a plurality of secondary devices in communication with the replication device via the network. Each secondary device storing a replica of the primary data source, wherein the replication device has a fixed IP address and when secondary devices are configured for data replication, the secondary device is configured with its own IP address and the IP address of the replication device as a remote IP address.
