摘要:
An apparatus and a method for playing back selectively a desired part of continuous data by using an input event as a clue. The apparatus comprises: first storage means for storing continuous data sequentially inputted; second storage means for storing a plurality of input events occurring at arbitrary times during the continuous data sequence; third storage means for storing data enabling identity of addresses a in the first storage means of locations in the continuous data sequence respectively corresponding to the input events; specifying means for specifying one of the input events stored in the second storage means; and playback means for playing back a selected portion of the continuous data stored in the first storage means in accordance with the identifying data stored in the third storage means which corresponds to the input event specified through the specifying means.

A data retrieval system capable of carrying out the retrieval using the secondary information of the primary data to be retrieved such as environmental information or structural information as the retrieval key. In the system, the primary data which are filing target to be stored and retrieved are stored in a first memory while secondary information associated with the primary data, which are not directly related with data content of the primary data, are stored in a second memory in correspondence to the primary data stored in the first memory. Then, when a retrieval key specifying a desired retrieval of the primary data from the first memory is entered, the secondary information is selected from the second memory in accordance with the retrieval key, and the primary data corresponding to the secondary information selected in accordance with the retrieval key is retrieved and outputted as a retrieval result.
摘要:
In a label switched path (LSP) including label switching nodes, some of which process a Time To Live (TTL) value of a generic label header and others of which that do not process the TTL value, an adequate hop-count information regarding the LSP is reported from node to node by using a label distribution protocol. A node, which has received a message including a hop-count of the LSP from an upstream node or a downstream node, determines whether or not the node itself is to update the TTL value in a packet if received through the LSP. The node then transmits a message indicating that the hop-count is one or a message including the incremented hop-count, in accordance with this determination, to the downstream node or the upstream node. Thus, upon transferring packets on the LSP, the nodes forming the LSP that process the TTL value can appropriately decrement the TTL value of the packet.

A scheme for systematically registering meta-data with respect to various types of individual data so as to enable sophisticated retrieval or application program construction assistance utilizing the meta-data in a data server is disclosed. A data type of registering data to be registered into a data server that registers and manages data and meta-data for data, and one procedure corresponding to the detected data type is selected from a plurality of procedures provided in correspondence to respective data types and stored in advance, each procedure having a program code for generating the meta-data for data according to a corresponding data type. Then, the meta-data for the registering data are generated by executing the program code of the selected procedure, and the generated meta-data are registered in relation to the registering data.

A scheme for constructing a database in a user system, which can automatically store those portions of the structured documents which contain important contents without exerting a burden on the user is disclosed. A structured document provided by a server device is obtained according to a document request made by the user system, where each structured document has a structure represented by tags in each structured document. Then, at least one important portion is automatically extracted from the structured document by utilizing the structure of the structured document according to prescribed extraction criteria specified in advance, and the extracted important portion is stored into the database, while the obtained structured document is transferred to the user system.
摘要:
A mechanism for performing multicast packet transfer when a certain one of the destination nodes participating in the multicast communication requires resource reservation for a certain packet flow specified among the packet flows to that destination node. A system may transfer multicast packets using a plurality of virtual connections based on which flow the packets to be transferred belong to, so that each node receives the packets without duplication. Alternatively, a system may selectively discard received packets to avoid processing duplicated packets, although duplicated packets are received at each node.

摘要:
A router is usable to transfer a packet from a first node belonging to one logical network to a second node belonging to another logical network. The router receives a first message for resource reservation from the second node, and stores a correspondence relationship between a first virtual connection available for receiving a packet of a specified flow from the first node and a second virtual connection available for transmitting the packet of the specified flow to the second node, when the first and second virtual connections exist. The router transmits a second message for resource reservation based on the first message to the first node, when the correspondence relationship can be stored. Alternatively, the router, after transmitting the second message to the first node irrespective of the correspondence relationship, transmits a cancellation message to the first node for canceling the second message depending upon whether the correspondence relationship can be stored.
摘要:
A node manages a virtual connection (VC) in a network such that at least one unused virtual connection to the neighboring node is established and registered. When a VC is needed to transmit a packet, the node obtains the required VC by selecting one of the registered unused VCs instead of setting up a new VC. When a VC in use becomes no longer necessary, the node registers the VC as an unused VC instead of releasing the VC.

A scheme for systematically registering meta-data with respect to various types of individual data so as to enable sophisticated retrieval or application program construction assistance utilizing the meta-data in a data server is disclosed. A data-type of registering data to be registered into a data server that registers and manages data and meta-data for data, and one procedure corresponding to the detected data type is selected from a plurality of procedures provided in correspondence to respective data types and stored in advance, each procedure having a program code for gene rating the meta-data for data according to a corresponding data type. Then, the meta-data for the registering data are generated by executing the program code of the selected procedure, and the generated meta-data are registered in relation to the registering data.
