An object of the present invention is to provide an e-mail editing device having excellent operability, in particular, an e-mail editing device capable of switching and displaying related e-mails. A display processor simultaneously displays a message editing screen for displaying an edition mail and a mail reference screen for displaying a reference mail for reference. A reference processor copies an object in the reference mail to a temporary storage. An editor pastes the object to an edition mail. A mail search portion searches for an e-mail in a memory on the basis of the reference mail. When a user performs a mail switching operation, the reference mail is switched to a searched e-mail for display.

The invention discloses an object-based cluster file system management method and a cluster file system. The method comprises the following steps of: arranging a management object in the cluster file system; and monitoring each system node by a management object and automatically configuring load of the system node in a balanced way. By separating a management object, a metadata object and a stored data object, flexible configuration and allocation of system resource unrelated to physical equipment are realized, and the load of the system node is automatically configured in the balanced way, so that the storing and the accessing of each object in the system is dynamically balanced, and data accessing bottleneck is eliminated; and adaptive functional extension and effective failure recovery are realized by object copying. Compared with the conventional cluster file system, the extensibility and the availability of the cluster file system are enhanced, the adaptive load balancing is realized, and the parallel processing capacity of the file system and the overall processing performance of the system are improved.

A method and software for performing data migration is described in which a common data migration driver routine is provided to handle various and disparate kinds of migration operations in a conceptually unified manner. Differences between the migration operations are handled by variations in how the state of the data migration driver routine is initialized, including pointers to low-level routines. Furthermore, a table of actions can be used to direct the basic operation of object copying, external reference created, and object interning.

A method and apparatus for manipulating data in a storage device that is coupled to a host computer. Manipulations that can be performed by the storage device include moving non-contiguous blocks of data between the host computer and the storage device in a single operation. Other manipulations can be performed directly by the storage device without passing data to or from the host computer and include copying data from one logical object that is defined on the host computer to another, initializing, backing-up, transforming, or securely deleting a logical object that is defined by the host computer with a single command. In one embodiment, an application programming interface is provided that allows a relationship between logical objects on a host computer and storage locations on a storage device to be communicated between the host computer and the storage device. By providing the storage device with knowledge of the relationship between a logical object and the storage locations corresponding to that logical object, data corresponding to the logical object can be manipulated directly by the storage device, rather than by the host computer. In another embodiment, a is graphical visualization routine is provided that displays the global mapping of a logical object to a set of physical blocks on the storage device for each layer of mapping below the logical object.

In a generational, copying garbage collector, young generation collection may be made more efficient by dynamically measuring object survival rates as a function of “fine-grained” allocation age, and choosing, on the basis of these survival rates, part of the young generation that will be not be collected, but instead scanned for pointers to objects in the rest of the young generation. The rest of the young generation, including objects referenced by the pointers, is then collected.

An object storage system, such as a content addressed storage system, manages replication of objects across network locations to balance storage space and data security. Network locations set a policy of replicating each object at the object's primary network location and a secondary network location. The secondary network location creates a first replica of the object and a virtual unique identifier representing a second replica of the object at the secondary network location. Creation of the second replica is suppressed unless the first replica becomes invalid so that storage space is conserved without substantially increasing the risk of loss of information represented by the object.

A system and method in accordance with the present invention provides for replication in a content management system. Replication is provided by utilizing the library server to track the objects to be replicated within the system. The replication is accomplished by adding two tables to the library server, a copies table and replicate table. The copies tables includes three new parts flags. A first flag identifies an ending as a copied part. A second flag identifies that other copies of this part exist. Finally a third flag identifies that a part is not yet available.

A method of printing a document is disclosed: A format template file is generated by defining locations and sizes on a page of at least two copy holes into which a content element is to be inserted. A group object is created which incorporates the two copy holes by generating a hierarchical data structure which specifies an identifier for the group object and identifies each copy hole of which the group object is comprised. The group object is replicated on a page of the format template file. A merged file is created by merging the format template file, a style template file specifying a font for a text content element. Each content element is identified in respect of a copy hole. The merged file is rendered to create a bitmap. A print engine is operated in accordance with the bitmap to print a document.

A system that associates an identifier with an instance defined within an object-oriented programming system. The system generates an identifier for the instance and associates a new near object with the instance, wherein the new near object points to a class specifying behavior for the object. The system stores the identifier in the new near object, and sets a class pointer located within a header of the instance to point to the new near object. In this way, the class pointer indirectly points to the class for the object through the new near object. The system can lock the instance to facilitate exclusive access to the instance by copying a near object associated with the instance to a method activation on the execution stack, and setting the class pointer of the instance to point to the copy of the near object on the execution stack.

A method and system for method for replicating object consisting of creating a group of objects at a first location; transmitting the group of objects from a first location to a second location over a network coupling the first location to the second location, such that the number of transmissions is minimized receiving the group of objects at the second location; and storing the group of objects at the second location. The objects are preferably data objects and are collated into group based on a probability score is computed for each data object centered on an access pattern. Advantages include minimizing the number of transmission of the group of objects thereby reducing network traffic and failure of operation during replication of the objects.

The method comprises following steps: starting a multi-object copy function and generating a record chain table; acquiring at least one object to be copied selected by a user and address information of objects to be copied; storing address information of objects to be copied to the record chain table; and starting a paste function and pasting objects to be copied corresponding to address information to a target directory according to address information of the record chain table. The multi-object copy method and device have following beneficial effects: address information of objects to be copied can be temporarily recorded by the record chain table so that different folders and/or files in many different storage paths can be copied at one time; problems in a conventional copy and paste method such as a complicated operation process and low speed of different folders and/or files in many different storage paths are solved; and copy efficiency of multiple folders and/ or files is increased.

To provide a technique that restores and saves execution states faster during software model checking. Described are: a state saving means for saving objects that represent an execution state of software under checking as information representing the execution state by extracting the objects in a memory in a predetermined order of arrangement and copying the objects to a save region; and a state restoring means for restoring the execution state by copying the objects included in the information representing the execution state stored in the save region to a restore region in the memory in the order in which the objects are stored.

In a clustered processing system, replication logic controls replication of objects to one or more replica states. The replication logic determines differences between states of an object. The one or more replica states can then be generated on other nodes in the clustered system from the differences without transmitting the entire state of the object.

Systems and methods for providing data replication and/or synchronization across multiple processor-based devices. Data objects (e.g., image files, video files, audio files) may exist in a plurality of forms (e.g., original, preview, thumbnail).
