Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed that enable the sharing, between a telephone and a computer, of input peripherals such as a keyboard and mouse and of output peripherals such as a video display. Historically, a telephone and a computer have possessed different interfaces with their user and with peripheral devices. Therefore, except where the telephone functionality is in the form of a softphone implemented on a computer, the telephone in the prior art is often incapable of sharing certain peripherals with a physically-adjacent computer. The telephone device of the illustrative embodiment enables sharing between the telephone and a computer, in contrast to sharing peripherals between computers in the prior art. The telephone device is able to determine which user inputs from a shared keyboard or mouse are intended for which data-processing device (i.e., the telephone device itself or the computer), and to transmit displayable signals from both the telephone device and computer to a shared video display device.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种能够在电话和计算机之间共享诸如键盘和鼠标等输入外围设备以及诸如视频显示器之类的输出外围设备的装置和方法。 历史上，电话和计算机与其用户和外围设备具有不同的接口。 因此，除了电话功能是在计算机上实现的软电话的形式之外，现有技术中的电话通常不能与物理上相邻的计算机共享某些外围设备。 与现有技术中的计算机之间共享外围设备相反，说明性实施例的电话设备能够在电话和计算机之间共享。 电话设备能够确定来自共享键盘或鼠标的哪些用户输入用于哪个数据处理设备（即，电话设备本身或计算机），并且将可显示信号从电话设备和计算机传送到 共享视频显示设备。

Abstract: A content delivery system for a content provider that comprises at least two content delivery servers for delivering contents, a preference database for storing an estimated distance between each of the at least two content delivery servers and a client, and a content provider domain name server for mapping the name of the content provider to the at least two content delivery servers and selecting one of the content delivery servers to deliver the content, that has a shortest estimated distance to the client in the preference database.
