Methods and systems for providing a virtual network are disclosed. At least one layer of abstraction is created between network service applications and conventional network protocols by inserting an adaptive dispatcher between applications and network transport services on each machine in a network. The message protocol in the virtual network is extensible, allowing application programs to create new headers within any message as needed. The adaptive dispatcher contains handlers that route and dispatch messages within the virtual network based on arbitrary content within each message, including any combination of headers and / or data content. Each device on the virtual network has a virtual address to which messages are directed, allowing devices to move within the network without reconfiguring routing tables. Handlers may be automatically created when an event meeting predefined criteria occurs, including the non-occurrence of a condition, making the virtual network self-healing and adaptive to reconfiguration.

A content sharing system and content importance level judging method are provided.The content sharing system provides an importance level of arbitrary content is individually judged with respect to users and a notice message valuable for a user is appropriately notified to a client or the outside tool. Further, an access user is able to set the disclosure level of access record of a user accessed the content.In the content sharing system, an importance level of content of multimedia data on a server shared with clients of a plurality of users is judged, in which the importance level of the content with respect to each user is individually calculated by interpreting existing data or a user environment, the client condition is judged, a notice rule setting is changed in accordance with the client condition or an instruction from the client, and a notice message is issued to an appropriate address based on the calculated importance level and a notice rule of the content.

Systems and methods for improving the performance of a data storage and retrieval system by enabling dynamic switching from one internal data structure to another in response to detecting conditions indicating that a switch would improve performance. In one embodiment, a network proxy implements a cache using a first internal data structure. The caches objects comprise Web pages, and the cache keys comprise URLs corresponding to the Web pages. The proxy monitors cache usage and periodically determines costs associated with usage of the first data structure and an alternative data structure. If the costs associated with the alternative data structure are less than the costs associated with the first data structure, the proxy crates the alternative data structure, migrates data from the first data structure to the alternative data structure, begins using the alternative data structure for the cache, and deletes the first data structure.

A mixed text and image layout algorithm capable of supporting Unicode text and arbitrary content definitions for geometric layout with worst case two-pass layout placement procedure. Layout of Unicode text requires a number of distinct processing steps commencing with classification of input characters into contiguous groups of identical directionality, writing system and possibly script (and language) followed by mapping of character groups to glyphs for display purposes followed by a layout taking into account font display characteristics, embedded directionality level and shape of container for layout contents. Layout is best-case achieved in a single layout pass and worst-case in two passes. During layout information is cached to facilitate incremental changes to an existing layout in order to minimize refresh operations for editing display purposes. An optional two-pass operation on the layout result may be used to generate ordered rendering operation to support so-called Z-index display. An optimized Unicode character classification method utilizing reduced memory is also disclosed. Additionally a method to selectively display caret location for mixed font and / or directional text is disclosed.

The invention relates to a display image control device and a control method thereof. The attribute information classified as the first attribute type is stored in the memory as a sequence in a predetermined sort order. Attribute information classified into a second attribute type different from the first attribute type and the stored predetermined sort order are stored in the memory in association with each other. When arbitrary content is displayed, display windows of a plurality of content are generated based on a sequence in a predetermined sort order in association with attribute information assigned to the arbitrary content.

The present invention allows various printing related settings with an intuitive operation. In the present invention, a print information output apparatus includes a display control section which controls arbitrary content to be displayed on a display section, a touch gesture determining section which determines the type of a touch gesture performed on a touch panel provided on the display section, an operation execution section which performs an operation based on the type of the touch gesture for the content being displayed on the display section, and an output section which outputs the content being displayed on the display section as print information.

The invention discloses a document flow information processing method and a device based on a format file and particularly discloses the following technical proposal: the file flow information of theformat file is acquired, which is the file content structure information in the format file and / or the file layout self-adaptive presentation information in the format file; the file content of the format file is divided into content blocks according to the acquired file flow information; the content block division result information of the format file is described; the file flow information basedon the format file after content block division is described, according to the content block division result information. Therefore, the file flow information for describing the format file is more practical and applicable, and any content of the format file can be flexibly described in file flow information, with more accurate description scope; besides, the file flow information processing is more flexible and simplified.
