Delayed caching receives an evaluation interval to delay updating the objects stored in a delayed cache, delays a time period corresponding to the evaluation interval, and updates the objects stored in the contents of the delayed cache when the time period delay has completed. The configuration operation for the delayed cache selects a time interval to sample a trace having object access frequencies for objects stored in a cache, creates a first working set of objects accessed during the time interval and a second working set of objects accessed during a subsequent time interval based on the historical trace, determines that the difference between the objects contained in the first and second working sets does not exceed a maximum threshold with the selected time interval, and sets a evaluation interval for evaluating the contents of the cache to the selected time interval.

A file server provides transaction processing capabilities previously supplied by the operating system of a host computer. On-disk file system metadata is changed only at commit time, and a transaction log protects the transition. The disk state can only be a consistent state, resulting from a commit operation. All disk-block reservation and pre-allocation mapping are in the memory, and after a crash, they are automatically discarded. The file server therefore relieves the client of processing burden and also reduces network traffic. In addition, the file server can more efficiently perform the transaction processing capabilities and reduce the frequency of access to storage by judicious allocation of file system blocks and transfer of file system blocks between file system objects, cache memory, and the transaction log. The differentiation between preallocation states and allocation states of in-memory file system blocks also permits application programs to more efficiently transfer data between files.

A secure pickup and delivery container includes a lockable door, a control unit, an access element, and an anchoring element, according to one embodiment. The control unit includes a processing element and a memory that can be programmed either on-site or remotely with access privilege information such as identity (e.g. of container, delivery person, etc.), location, date, time, frequency of access, and / or package-specific information. In one embodiment, access privilege information is programmed when an intended recipient of a delivery consummates a point of sale transaction, for example over the Internet or telephone. The access element can be a keypad, a biometric scanner, a card reader, a bar-code reader, and / or a wireless control element to read a programmable token such as a smart card. Delivery personnel can enter access request information into the access element, and if it favorably compares with the access privilege information, the control unit unlocks the door. Notification can be concurrently made via wireline or wireless communications to the intended recipient, who may be situated remote from the secure container. The recipient can optionally return a delivery acknowledgment to the delivery personnel. Details of the delivery transaction can also be recorded electronically on the delivery personnel's token, within the container, or at a remote location.

Spread spectrum packet-switching radio devices (22) are operated in two or more ad-hoc networks or pico-networks (19, 20, 21) that share frequency-hopping channel and time slots that may collide. The frequency hopping sequences (54) of two or more masters (25) are exchanged using identity codes, permitting the devices to anticipate collision time slots (52). Priorities are assigned to the simultaneously operating piconets (19, 20, 21) during collision slots (52), e.g., as a function of their message queue size or latency, or other factors. Lower priority devices may abstain from transmitting during predicted collision slots (52), and / or a higher priority device may employ enhanced transmission resources during those slots, such as higher error correction levels, or various combinations of abstinence and error correction may be applied. Collisions are avoided or the higher priority piconet (19, 20, 21) is made likely to prevail in a collision.

Deduplicated data objects are scrubbed by a executing a priority scrubbing task that scans the deduplicated data objects and applies a condition that enables priority data scrubbing based on the value of at least one attribute of the de-duplicated data objects. For example, a low priority task scrubs a deduplicated data object when a reference count of the deduplicated object reaches a threshold. A high priority task scrubs a deduplicated data object when a priority attribute indicates that the deduplicated data object is used by a critical source data object. A medium priority task scrubs a deduplicated data object when the access frequency of the deduplicated data object reaches a threshold. The condition may encode a scrubbing policy or heuristic, and may trigger further action in addition to scrubbing, such as triggering an update of the access rate.

A system and method for performing policy-based storage management using data related to access frequency and file attribute accumulation. A switch device provides transparency for transactions between a client and a storage network. The transparency allows objects (e.g., files or directories) to be moved (e.g., migrated) on the storage network without affecting a reference to the object used by the client (e.g., a file handle). A monitoring module generates accumulation data associated with the transactions for use in policy-based management. The accumulation data can describe uses of the file such as how often certain files are accessed, modifications to files such as creations of new directories or files, and other uses.

This invention comprises a method and system for estimating unique visitors for Internet sites that is more accurate than the existing unique cookie / unique address counting methods. The invented method relies on the count of unique user identifiers (such as network addresses or preferably cookies)—I—that can be obtained from an existing cookie tracking / user access logging system. The number of unique visitors U is calculated substantially as a ratio of the count of unique cookies (or unique network addresses) to the number of visits N times the inflation factor X plus constant on that is approximately one (exactly one in the case of cookies). The number of visits is calculated by multiplying the sampling period t to the visitation frequency T1 minus one. The resulting estimate of the unique visitors is stable and does not diverge with sampling time unlike estimates directly obtained from the unique network address or unique cookie counts. The method is also applicable when there are multiple dominant visitation frequencies by accounting to the sum by all significant visitation frequencies. All key parameters of the method can be established before hand by mining a multitude of the site's historical visit logs and / or third party site access logs; the parameters can be corrected / calculated dynamically by mining the site's current access log (or current third party logs) while focusing on unambiguously identified visitors (such as return visitors identified by their login ID or unchanged cookie value).

The present invention controls supply of power to a storage device on the basis of an access status, moves a logical storage device between physical storage devices having different power supply modes, reduces energization time, and improves the reliability. A relocation plan creation portion creates a relocation plan by disposing a logical volume with high access frequency in a RAID group which is in a long-time energization mode, disposing a logical volume with moderate access frequency in a RAID group which is in a first short-time energization mode, and disposing a logical volume with low access frequency in a RAID group which is in a second short-time energization mode. An execution time determination portion determines an execution time for executing the relocation plan, on the basis of the access frequency to the RAID groups. The volumes with higher access frequency are disposed in the RAID group in which the power supply time is long, and the volumes with lower access frequency are disposed in the RAID group in which the power is supplied in an on-demand fashion.

A solid state disk (SSD) caches disk-based volumes in a heterogeneous storage system, improving the overall storage-system performance. The hottest data blocks are identified based on two factors: the frequency of access, and temporal locality. Temporal locality is computed using a logarithmic system time. IO latency is reduced by migrating these hottest data blocks from hard-disk-based volumes to the solid-state flash-memory disks. Some dedicated mapping metadata and a novel top-K B-tree structure are used to index the blocks. Data blocks are ranked by awarding a higher current value for recent accesses, but also by the frequency of accesses. A non-trivial value for accesses in the past is retained by accumulating the two factors over many time spans expressed as a logarithmic system time. Having two factors, access frequency and the logarithmic system time, provides for a more balanced caching system.

The claimed invention enables digital asset management that is responsive to a user's interactions with digital assets.
