摘要： Online multiplayer games are provided in multiple tiers. A first tier offers limited features and a second tier offers first tier features plus additional features. The additional features are exclusive to the second tier. During game play in the first tier, enticements are provided to participate in the second tier. The first tier requires no subscription to participate therein. Participation in the second tier requires a subscription. In an example configuration, the first tier allows players to host a game on a dedicated server, browse a list of dedicated server games, and join a game from a list of first tier eligible games. And, the second tier offers a variety of additional features, such as the ability to invite other players to join a game session, match making services, and cross-platform game play.

摘要： A system and method for serialization and/or de-serialization of file system item(s) and associated entity(ies)is provided. A file system “item” comprises a core class which can include property(ies). An item can be simple or compound (e.g., includes other item(s) embedded in it). Associated with an item can be entity(ies) such as fragment(s), link(s) with other item(s) and/or extension(s). Through serialization, a consistent copy of the item and associated entity(ies), if any, can be captured (e.g., for transporting of the item and to reconstruct the item on a destination system). The serialization system includes an identification component that. identities entity(ies) associated with an item and a serialization component that serializes the item and associated entity(ies). The serialization component can further serialize a header that includes information associated with the item and associated entity(ies). The header can facilitate random access to the item and associated entity(ies) (e.g., allowing a reader to interpret/parse only the parts in which it is interested). The serialization system can expose application program interface(s) (API's) that facilitate the copying, moving and/or transfer of an item and its associated entity(ies) from one location to another location.

摘要： The present invention is directed a logical consistency checker (LCC) working alone or in conjunction with a physical consistency checker (PCC) and/or a data reliability system (DRS) for a database files system of a hardware/software interface system. Logical data correction pertains to logical data corruptions for entities (e.g., items, extensions, and/or relationships in an item-based operating system, where an item-based operating system is one example of an item-based hardware/software interface system). In this regard, a LCC analyses and corrects logical damage to entities representatively stored in the data store in order to ensure that all such entities in said data store are both consistent and conform to the data model rules.

摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed herein that facilitate automatic database backup and restore for databases resident in personal computing devices, and which are transparent to a user, utilizing database page mirroring. Modifications to a data page in a data file can be validated and written to a backup, or mirror, database and then subsequently written to an original database after a predetermined time. An I/O latch on a mirrored data page can be limited to a duration of a single I/O write operation to facilitate sequential data page writing to each of the databases while mitigating potential for both databases to be written simultaneously, which can detrimentally affect data quality during a recovery operation.

摘要： The subject invention relates to systems and/or methods that perform an authoritative and/or a non-authoritative restore of items in a data store. Backups are provided that include data associated with items and metadata related to the items that can include a history of operations and previous synchronizations to enable replications to converge after restoration. The operations that can be performed on the items include, for example, create, delete, update, move, etc. The items in the backups can be restored along with the metadata, which can be utilized to enable synchronization partners to converge based on a desired type of restoration.
