A central information server is used to retrieve a logistic message file from an origin information client station and transmit to a destination information client station. In the origin information client station, multiple digital logistic data corresponding to the logistic information are retrieved, serialized, encrypted and compressed to form the logistic message file. According to the origin-destination information of the logistic message file, the central information server builds a FTP (File Transfer Protocol), connection with the origin information client station, and the destination information client station respectively to retrieve and transmit the logistic message file. The destination information client station decompresses, decrypts, and parses the logistic message file into the digital logistic data corresponding to the logistic information. | 2013-01-03 |
| 20130007106 | ASYNCHRONOUS INTERACTION IN THE REPORT GENERATOR - Methods and systems are provided for a user system to interact asynchronously with the report generator when an operation is performed on a report in the report generator. The report generator relinquishes control to the user system to perform other operations while the report generator fetches data from the multi-tenant database necessary for the operation. | 2013-01-03 |
| 20130007107 | RENDERING COMPONENTS WITHIN DIFFERENT BROWSER ENVIRONMENTS - Embodiments of the invention relate to rendering components within different browser environments. A request for a portal page is received from a client system. The portal page is aggregated by a computer and a renderer is selected based on a client system browser specific environment. A browser specific markup, provided by at least one portlet, is transmitted from the renderer to the client system. | 2013-01-03 |
| 20130007108 | Live Updates of Embeddable Units - A delivery method and system of dynamic embedded web output on a web page in a browser on a client device is provided. A web page contains an embed code for an embeddable unit. A content delivery network provides an embedded URL specified in the embed code. The URL contains executable static runtime code using a unit ID. The unit ID is passed to a dynamic server which performs a lookup to convert the unit ID into a cache key URL. The cache key URL points to a location on the content delivery network and encodes a cache key containing information for the embeddable unit. The client device loads the cache key URL, which targets the content delivery network to make a request for the embeddable unit. The content delivery network serves the embeddable unit to the client device on which the embeddable unit is displayed or updated. | 2013-01-03 |
| 20130007109 | LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF - A load balancing system includes a pre-stage device and a plurality of post-stage devices. The pre-stage device receives original data that has been transmitted from the client device and for which a predetermined server address has been set as the destination address thereof, acquires transfer data having as the destination address thereof an address of any one corresponding post-stage device from among the post-stage devices on the basis of the original data, and transmits the transfer data. The corresponding post-stage device receives the transfer data that has been transmitted from the pre-stage device and which has the address of the corresponding post-stage device as the destination address, restores the transfer data to the original data for which the predetermined server address has been set as the destination address thereof, and transmits the original data to a server device connected to the corresponding post-stage device. | 2013-01-03 |
| 20130007110 | SYSTEM, APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATION OF CONTENT FOR DISTRIBUTED HETEROGENOUS COMPUTERS - A system, apparatus and method for generation of content for distributed heterogeneous computers is provided. A server can connect to a network, which in turn is connected to a plurality of client computing devices, a plurality of fixed display computers and a plurality of administration computers. The server is configured to receive content form the administration computers, and to adjust the received content for one or more of the respective fixed display computing and to also adjust the received content for one or more of the client computing devices. | 2013-01-03 |
