Disclosed is a method of transferring data from a hierarchical file (having a hierarchical structure, e.g., a markup language file) to a relational database structure (made up of columns and rows. Before processing the actual data, the invention first partitions the hierarchical structure into sections, where each section is dedicated to at least one node of the hierarchical structure. The partitioning process is based on the document type definition file, which is separate from, and different than the hierarchical file. After completing the partitioning, the invention then parses the actual data contained in the hierarchical data file to produce a stream of data pairs and end of section indicators. During the data parsing process, the invention loads the data pairs into corresponding “sections” (created prior to the parsing process) as the data pairs are output from the parsing process. The invention also transfers the node data from these sections to the columns and rows of the relational database structure.

A “Mass File Sharer” (MFS) provides a mass P2P file sharing protocol with optional on-demand file access across a P2P network. Unlike conventional P2P file sharing, the MFS simultaneously asynchronously shares large numbers of files, while providing optional on-demand (synchronous) access to shared files. The MFS uses a unique metadata structure in combination with an inter-peer file/folder version analysis and an inter-peer file/folder availability analysis to share complex directory structures that may include any number of folders, sub-folders, and files. Sharing may be asynchronous and/or synchronous. Specifically, file sharing is generally accomplished as an asynchronous distribution across the network. However, when a particular peer wants direct access particular files, an on-demand access mode is used to enable synchronous delivery of shared files. This combination of asynchronous and synchronous file distribution enables the MFS to support a number of applications, such as on-demand movie viewing, file/folder browsing, etc.

The present invention provides a method and system for providing a bandwidth allocation scheduler for media delivery. The present invention includes determining an available bandwidth for file transmission for a time interval, and allocating at least a portion of the available bandwidth to at least one file transmission task, wherein a different amount of the available bandwidth may be allocated to each of the at least one file transmission tasks. The bandwidth allocation scheduler in accordance with the present invention comprises a set of program segments that provides fast, deterministic real-time scheduling for the allocation of bandwidth for file transmissions. It allows the bandwidth allocated to a delivery to vary according to the amount of bandwidth available. A different amount of bandwidth may be allocated to each individual file transmission task. Higher priority transmissions may be allocated bandwidth before allocation to lower priority file transmissions. The maximum bit rate of the slowest addressed receiver may be considered in allocating the bandwidth. Moreover, the customer can choose between different allocation strategies. Thus, the bandwidth allocation scheduler in accordance with the present invention reduces waste in bandwidth in media delivery, which in turn reduces costs for a customer.

An improved system and approaches for protecting secured files when being used by an application (e.g., network browser) that potentially transmits the files over a network to unknown external locations are disclosed. According to one aspect, access to secured files is restricted so that unsecured versions of the secured files are not able to be transmitted over a network (e.g., the Internet) to unauthorized destinations. In one embodiment, in opening a file for use by a network browser, the network browser receives a secured (e.g., encrypted) version of the secured file when the destination location (e.g., destination address) for the network browser is not trusted, but receives an unsecured (e.g., unencrypted) version of the secured file when the destination location for the network browser is trusted. According to another aspect, processes operating on a computer system are monitored to determine destination locations, if any, of said processes, and then using such destination locations to determine whether to permit the processes to open files in a secure or unsecured manner.

Transferring a reduced size image file (e.g., a thumbnailed version) may allow for relatively fast transfer and access times of the reduced size file compared to the full size version image file.

According to one embodiment of the invention, an original dump file is received from a client machine to be forwarded to a dump file recipient. The original dump file is parsed to identify certain content of the original dump file that matches certain data patterns/categories. The original dump file is anonymized by modifying the identified content according to a predetermined algorithm, such that the identified content of the original dump file is no longer exposed, generating an anonymized dump file. The anonymized dump file is then transmitted to the dump file recipient. Technical content and infrastructure of the original dump file is maintained within the anonymized dump file after the anonymization, such that a utility application designed to process the original dump file can still process the anonymized dump file without exposing the identified content of the original dump file to the dump file recipient. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.

A method of delivering a digital document to an intended recipient at a printout station, such as a fax machine. The method comprises receiving and securely retaining a transmitted document and a transmitted independently verifiable data record such as a digital certificate of the intended recipient at the printout station. A first token, such as a public key, of the intended recipient is obtained, usually from the transmitted information. The method includes requesting proof of the intended recipient's identity at the receiving fax machine using data in the digital certificate of the intended recipient and releasing the document when the intended recipient has proved their identity by use of a second token, such as a private key, that is uniquely related to the first token. The private key may be provided on a portable smart card. Also envelope data encryption techniques may be used to add security to the transmission of the document.

A method and system for mirroring and archiving mass storage. A primary mass storage and a secondary mass storage are synchronized to contain the same data. Thereafter, a primary system tracks changes made to the primary mass storage. These changes are consolidated periodically into update files, the consolidations representing changes made to the primary mass storage during a time interval that ends when the primary mass storage is in a logically consistent state. These update files contain only those changes necessary to represent the modified state of the primary mass storage at the time of the update. The primary system then transfers the update files to a secondary system to bring the secondary mass storage current with the primary mass storage. The consolidation minimizes the amount of information that must be transferred and therefore allows for a relatively low band width communication channel. In addition, update files may be cached by the primary system so that requests for mirrored or archived data may be fulfilled by the primary system cache rather than requiring access to the secondary system.
