Abstract

The virtual presentation technology in this invention can significantly reduce data load on a network and thus reduce the network bandwidth requirement. This allows serving more requests for data transaction over a network with fixed network bandwidth. In addition, with traditional Internet file sharing products, e.g. the then-existed Yahoo Group online service, in order to stop sharing a file, the file must be physically deleted that prevents resharing the file unless expensively recreating them. In addition, traditional email and instant message does not allow a user to delete a previously posted or shared message from a UI of a recipient. Therefore, the user could be embarrassed if the posted message is not proper to the recipient. This invention has overcome the problems to allow user instantly deleting posted information of file or folder from recipient's UI without physically deleting the file, and deleting previously posted messages from recipient's UI.

Abstract

Group online communication and collaboration has become part of people's daily life. Therefore, it is critical to provide a meeting initiator to efficiently present his/her information, and control his/her presented information. It is also critical for the speed and efficiently to process the meeting initiator's requests for his/her presented information to be quickly reaching to other meeting participants during a meeting. This invention facilitates a unique user interface (UI) for the meeting initiator to efficiently present information and to control presented information through a unique withdrawing (un-post) operation. Specially, this invention deploys dynamic workspaces technology together with post and un-post (withdraw) operations that greatly improves the speed and efficiency for processing the meeting initiator's requests and for monetizing the meeting activities.

Abstract

Fast, volume, and secure information exchange is important in enhancing the efficiency of a communication network at Internet era. Video sharing in online meeting is an important part of information exchanging between people in business and in daily personal life. Video sharing between two or more user devices through a server on the Internet usually will consume tremendous network bandwidth and computing power. Therefore, there is needs to enhance the efficiency for the video sharing. With the supporting of posting and un-posting operations and the dynamic workspace technology introduced in this invention, a server here can centrally coordinate the dynamic secure video sharing between two or more devices while avoiding itself being a bottleneck for the video sharing. In addition, there is need for enhancing security for the online meeting. The method of effectively tracking activities for meeting participants during the online meeting disclosed in this invention can enhance the security for the online meeting.

Abstract

A distributed virtual SAN infrastructure provides a scalable dynamically expandable virtual storage service pool to a plurality of host systems. The storage service pool is created via execution of a virtual storage automatic construct protocol and provides storage volume (space) to each of the host systems in on-demand base. The distributed virtual SAN infrastructure includes one or more SAN units including IP SAN unit and Fiber Channel SAN unit, at least one management console, one distributing control system across a network infrastructure, where the network infrastructure provides the communication links between all systems in the distributed virtual SAN infrastructure.

Abstract

The traditional web based computing system does not support web based multitasking. Therefore, when a user via a web user interface displayed in a web browser on an end-user computing device to submit a task of accessing a web server, the user has to wait the task to be finished before can submit a second task from the same web user interface. A method of supporting web based multitasking is disclosed herein for solving above mentioned issue to let user much efficiently perform web based tasks without wasting waiting time.

Abstract

This invention takes the course of evolution and creating a web based computer user work environment for a control management station and its associated systems on the network crossing Intranet, Internet or LAN. Therefore, users can access and manage the control management station and all its associated system through web browser on any other systems or devices. To establish a web based computer user work environment, the resources information on control management station and on associated systems on network need to be collected and convert them to standard structured format for web based communication and further displaying them in web browser. These information need to be collected by control management station at its and the associated systems' boot up time or at the time when a user logins and requests to access and manage these resources.
