Abstract: A system and method that centrally manages desktop packages is provided allowing the administrator to recover component files previously sent to servers located throughout the organization. Applications are assigned to users and workstations. Self-contained desktop packages are transmitted to servers. The servers, in turn, provide the desktop packages to clients. The packages and the components included in the packages include unique identifiers used to identify the packages and components. A manifest is maintained detailing the individual components included in each of the self-contained desktop files. When a disaster event occurs at the administrator's computer system, the administrator retrieves the self-contained desktop files from the servers to which the packages were previously transmitted. The administrator repopulates the component libraries by unpacking the components from the self-contained desktop files. The administrator uses the manifest to determine whether additional self-contained package files need to be retrieved from other servers.

Abstract translation: 提供集中管理桌面软件包的系统和方法，允许管理员恢复以前发送到整个组织中的服务器的组件文件。 应用程序分配给用户和工作站。 自包含的桌面包传输到服务器。 这些服务器又向客户端提供桌面软件包。 程序包和程序包中包含的组件包括用于标识程序包和组件的唯一标识符。 维护清单，详细说明了每个独立桌面文件中包含的各个组件。 当管理员的计算机系统发生灾难事件时，管理员从先前传输包的服务器检索自包含的桌面文件。 管理员通过从自包含的桌面文件中解包组件来重新构建组件库。 管理员使用清单来确定是否需要从其他服务器检索其他自包含的包文件。

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method of managing logical device state information within an information handling system. Logical device state information is stored only once, by the information handling system. Device drivers do not need to maintain and store redundant copies of logical device state information. A device driver indicates whether or not it needs to have logical device state information passed to it. Before calling a device driver to handle a device function, the information handling system checks to determine whether or not the device driver has indicated that it needs logical device state information passed to it. If so, the information handling system passes the appropriate logical device state information to the device driver. For device functions which are not hooked by the device driver, the information handling system maintains the device state. System efficiency is increased, as each device driver may register for the subset of functions it can most efficiently handle, without hooking operating system functions or handling all state specific functions associated with a particular device function. In addition, device driver development may proceed in an incremental fashion, and device driver developers do not have to learn details of every operating system on which a device may be installed.

Abstract: A system and method that centrally manages desktop packages is provided. The administrator assigns applications to users and workstations. The administrator selects desktop components needed for a particular job role and packages the components into a self-contained desktop package file. The self-contained desktop package is sent to a user that is using a particular workstation. Roles that are allowed for both the workstation and the user are enabled to be used by the user using the workstation. In one embodiment, the components are packaged in different sets of self-contained desktop packages, with each package corresponding to a different role. In one embodiment, the self-contained desktop package files are transmitted to a user when the user logs into the network using a particular workstation.

Abstract: A system, method and program of the invention enables a user to view, at a later time, transitory messages, e.g., advertisements, that the user may have previously missed. The multimedia objects containing the messages are stored automatically without user action when the multimedia object is rendered at the client. In response to a user action, a list of th e stored multimedia objects are displayed to the user along with selectable controls for rewinding and replaying the list of stored multimedia objects. The user may select each multimedia object from the list one at a time for replaying, or the user can use the selectable controls to replay or rewind a succession of the stored multimedia objects. The multimedia objects may include an animated GIF multimedia object, a moving picture type multimedia object, a vector graphic multimedia object, a nd a static image multimedia object.

Abstract: La presente invencion se dirige a un sistema y método para administrar informacion de estado de dispositivo logico dentro de un sistema de manejo de informacion. La informacion de estado de dispositivo logico se almacena solamente una vez por el sistema para manejo de informacion. Los controladores de dispositivo no requieren mantener y almacenar copias redundantes de informacion de estado de dispositivo logico. Un controlador de dispositivo indica si requiere o no que se le transfiera la informacion de estado de dispositivo logico. Antes de requerir que un controlador de dispositivo maneje una funcion de dispositivo, el sistema de manejo de informacion verifica para determinar si el controlador de dispositivo ha indicado o no que requiere que se le pase la informacion de estado de dispositivo logico. De ser así, el sistema de manejo de informacion pasa a la informacion de estado de dispositivo logico apropiado al controlador del dispositivo. Para funciones de dispositivo que no se están enganchadas por el controlador de dispositivo, el sistema para manejo de informacion mantiene el estado de dispositivo. La eficiencia del sistema se incrementa, ya que cada controlador de dispositivo puede registrar para el subconjunto de funciones que puede manejar más eficientemente sin enganchar las funciones de sistema operativo o manejar todas las funciones específicas de estado que se asocian con una funcion de dispositivo particular. Además, puede proceder el desarrollo de controlador de dispositivo en una forma incremental, y quienes desarrollan los controladores de dispositivo no tienen que aprender los detalles de todo sistema operativo en el que puede instalarse un dispositivo.
