281 results about "Device file" patented technology

In Unix-like operating systems, a device file or special file is an interface to a device driver that appears in a file system as if it were an ordinary file. There are also special files in MS-DOS, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows. These special files allow an application program to interact with a device by using its device driver via standard input/output system calls. Using standard system calls simplifies many programming tasks, and leads to consistent user-space I/O mechanisms regardless of device features and functions.

Methods and apparatus for high-speed access to and sharing of storage devices on a networked digital data processing system

InactiveUS20050251516A1Prevents the nodes from “hoggingData processing applicationsInput/output to record carriersDigital dataFile system
The invention provides a digital data processing system with improved access to information stored on a peripheral device. The system has a plurality of nodes, a peripheral device, a file system and a bypass mechanism. A first node (e.g., a client node) is connected to a second node (e.g., a server node) over a first communications pathway (e.g., a network). The second node is itself connected to a peripheral device (e.g., a disk drive) over a second communications pathway. The first node, too, is connected to the peripheral device over a third communications pathway. The file system, executing on the first and second nodes, is capable of responding to access requests generated by the first node for transferring data between that node and the peripheral device, via the second node and via the first and second communications pathways. The file system also maintains administrative information pertaining to storage on the peripheral device of data designated by such requests. That information includes, for example, physical storage location mappings for files and other data stored on the peripheral device. The bypass mechanism, which executes on at least the first node, intercedes in the response to at least selected input/output, or access, requests generated by that node. The bypass transfers data designated by such requests between the first node and the peripheral device over the third communications pathway, in lieu of transferring that data via the second node and the first and second communications pathways. Such transfers by the bypass, however, are made using the administrative information maintained by the file system relating to storage of such data on the peripheral device.

Tiny cell cache device allocation algorithm based on user mobility

The invention discloses a tiny cell cache device allocation algorithm based on user mobility and belongs to the field of wireless communication. The method comprises the following steps: performing data set analysis on a long-term user group mobility track at an initialization phase, and dividing system time of a user mobility track data set into discrete time slots according to certain time intervals; enabling the user to request a file once in each time slot, and calculating the total cache hit rate; converting a cache allocation problem into an integer programming problem; searching an optimal solution of the initial allocation problem of cache device capacity in a solution space by using a genetic-annealing algorithm, wherein the optional solution comprises specially optimized design operations such as an a fitness function, a selection operation and an interlace operation; and outputting the allocation of device files among tiny cell base stations if the solution is converged, and allocating the cache device among the tiny cell base stations according to the allocation, thereby obtaining the optimal cache device allocation scheme. Therefore, the cache hit rate performance of users is improved, and the device installation cost is effectively saved.

Handheld smart device data security protection method

The invention relates to a handheld smart device data security protection method, comprising steps that: whether a password input by a user through human-computer interaction is correct is judged and if so, a setting of a privacy protection status is changed, and if not, the setting of the privacy protection status remains unchanged; and according to a true record of the privacy protection status, device file management software and protected software are hidden, and otherwise, the device file management software and the protected software are shown and used normally. The method of the invention further comprises steps that: 1101) connection between the handheld smart device and a computer via a USB port is detected and judged; 1102) whether the device is in the privacy protection status is judged and if so, a user interface entrance which has a U disc using function is hidden and a logic code of opening the U disc is not performed; and otherwise, normal operation is carried out; 1201) installation or unloading of application software is detected and judged; and 1202) whether the device is in the privacy protection status is judged, and if so, a user operation instruction or a logic code for the installation or unloading is not performed; and otherwise, normal installation or unloading is performed.
