A computer network system establishes an instant messaging (IM) session between a first user registered with a first ISP (ISP) and at least one user registered with a second ISP when the two ISPs operate using different IM protocols. The ISPs each contain a Local IM server connected to each registered user. Each ISP also contains a Universal IM server that is connected to the distributed network. The Universal IM server includes a database that stores routing information and Presence information for each user registered with the second ISPs and facilitates communications between the first and second user using a universal format, such as XML.

The text messaging system consists of mobile terminal (5) connected to mobile communication network (4), information terminal (3) connected to computer network (2), and server (1) connected to the mobile communication network and the computer network. The information terminal (3) has status detection means (22), (23), and (24), and detects an operational status including at least the connection status of the computer network and notifies the server (1) of it. The server (1) has status administration means (8) and (9) and decision means (10). The status administration means (8) and (9) retain the operational status of the information terminal (3) notified from status detection means (24) for each user. The decision means (10) determines a send mode according to the operational status of the information terminal such as whether to send a text message to an information terminal or to send a text message with a network application.

A distributed system provides for separate management of dynamic cluster membership and distributed data. Nodes of the distributed system may include a state manager and a topology manager. A state manager handles data access from the cluster. A topology manager handles changes to the dynamic cluster topology. The topology manager enables operation of the state manager by handling topology changes, such as new nodes to join the cluster and node members to exit the cluster. A topology manager may follow a static topology description when handling cluster topology changes. Data replication and recovery functions may be implemented, for example to provide high availability.

A game state manager (201) manages the state of an AR game (information that pertains to rendering of each virtual object (102), the score of a player (101), the AR game round count, and the like). An objective viewpoint video generator (202) generates a video of each virtual object (102) viewed from a camera (103). An objective viewpoint video composition unit (203) generates a composite video of the video of the virtual object (102) and an actually sensed video, and outputs it to a display (106). A subjective viewpoint video generator (212) generates a video of the virtual object (102) viewed from an HMD (107). A subjective viewpoint video composition unit (213) generates a composite video of the video of the virtual object (102) and an actually sensed video, and outputs it to the HMD (107).

A method for managing application modalities using dialogue states can include the step of asserting a set of activation conditions associated with a dialogue state of an application. Each of the activation conditions can be linked to at least one programmatic action, wherein different programmatic actions can be executed by different modality components. The application conditions can be monitored. An application event can be detected resulting in an associated application condition being run. At least one programmatic action linked to the application condition can be responsively initiated.

In a storage management system and method which virtualizes a plurality of storage devices distributed over a network to be managed, a storage state manager, in a storage management server, manages a storage usage state in each storage device, a network state manager manages a traffic state of each network device, and a path searching/setup portion determines a storage data path to be set up in the network device based on the storage usage state and the traffic state. In a host, a virtualization mapper associates a storage space replied from the storage management server with a virtual storage, and a path information setup portion transmits/receives storage data with the storage data path.

A system, method, and program storage device for sharing and exchanging virtual objects from different virtual worlds are disclosed. Virtual objects are centrally managed by an inventory service. The inventory service performs data transmission related to virtual objects and data translation related to virtual objects. The inventory service has a repository for storing virtual objects and applies cache policy(s) to local cache memories in virtual worlds to maintain data consistency across the virtual worlds. Based on a publish/subscribe mechanism, each virtual world publishes and subscribes topic notifications related shared virtual objects. The system, method and program storage device are also used for a separate state management of a shared/exchanged virtual object within identical virtual world(s).

A method is disclosed for partitioning a managed state for a Java based application. The application developer is allowed to associate individual entity beans with a particular state management type. Then, during execution, a plurality of state objects are provided, where each state object stores a state of a corresponding entity bean object within the memory address space of a Java server process. Further, each state object is associated with the state management type of the corresponding entity bean object. In this manner, state management is provided for each entity bean object based on the associated state management type using a corresponding state object. The state management type can be a memory replicated state management type, a disk replicated state management type, a non-replicated state manage type.

One or more server-side control objects provide server-side processing of postback input received from client-side user interface elements in a request from a client. Such input may include without limitation postback data and postback events generated from a web page on a client and received by a server in an HTTP request. A hierarchy of server-side control objects can cooperate to process the postback input and to generate the resulting authoring language code, such as HTML. Server-side events can also result from the server-side processing of postback input. In addition to processing postback input, server-side processing may include, without limitation, state management of server-side control objects and binding data to and from server-side database. After the processing and generating operations, the server-side control object hierarchy is terminated until a subsequent request is received from the client.

A secondary battery state management system of the present invention includes: a battery charger that charges a secondary battery; and a storage server that stores electrical characteristics information which is information that indicates the electrical characteristics during charging of the secondary battery. An electrical characteristics measuring means measures the electrical characteristics during charging. A measurement information storing means stores the history of the measured electrical characteristics information for each secondary battery. A battery state determining means compares the electrical characteristics information of the secondary battery being measured by the electrical characteristics measuring means with the electrical characteristics information of the same secondary battery stored in the measurement information storing means, and determines the state of the secondary battery.
