Abstract:
A method and computing systems for refreshing, from a server, objects locally stored by a client device remotely connected through a communicating means to said server. The client device send a request for refresh message and a list of object identifiers and the digest of the object itself stored in its local storage. The server, after checking the deals the client device has subscribed to, sends back a refresh answer message with the objects stored locally in the client device and which needs to be refreshed. According to the deals to which the client device has subscribed, the server will also send new objects and will send a special code to specify to the client device to delete objects which are no more part of the deals.

Abstract:
A method is disclosed to create files in a file system hierarchy in a way which facilitates their retrieval. The method of the preferred embodiment allows to manage a file by creating , retrieving, deleting, copying and moving the file in a file hierarchy as displayed through the graphical user interface provided with the operating system. The file is saved in one folder under a file name and a possibility is given to the user to save the file under the same file name or different file names in different folders which are all in relation with the context of the file creation. The user will multiply his chances to retrieve the file in different folders when he desires access it later on. The principle is to create a real file in a first designated folder and to create shortcut files in the other folders. The list of shortcut files is saved as a hidden file in the same directory as the real file. The advantage of the invention is to take benefit of the shortcut function available in most operating systems.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wireless service purchase system that allows customers to access services without carrying cash, operating a payment card, or waiting in line to use a payment booth. SOLUTION: The wireless service purchase system includes a service provider server 20 that receives a request from a service controller booth if the booth has received an identification number from an RFID tag; that, if a reader has received the identification number from the RFID tag in order to verify whether an account associated with a user has a balance sufficient to access the service requested, receives a request from the reader so as to verify whether the account associated with the user has a balance sufficient to access the service requested; and that sends a reply to the reader indicating whether or not the user's access to the service is permitted, depending on whether or not the account has the sufficient balance.

Abstract:
A method and system to selectively secure the display of advertisements on web browsers, defining a particular displayed area of said interpreted markup file, obtaining the DOM tree of said interpreted markup file, said DOM tree comprising parent and child nodes; each node being associated with displayable elements, identifying in the DOM tree a set of child nodes whose displayable elements comprise said particular displayed area, identifying in the DOM tree a first parent node comprising said set of child nodes, converting displayable elements associated with said identified first parent node to an image, generating a second parent node comprising said image, modifying the DOM tree into a modified DOM tree by deleting said identified set of child nodes and by replacing the identified first parent node by the second parent node.
Abstract:
A computing system and computer readable medium storing computer instructions are disclosed, which when the computer instructions are executed, enables a computer system to manage data using a file name on a computer system having a graphical user interface and a file system storing files with a file hierarchy. The computer instructions comprise, in part, entering a command from an application to create a file; displaying the file hierarchy; allowing a user to select at least one folder; saving data in a first file having a file name in one selected folder; in each of the other selected folders, creating a shortcut file having the same file name and containing a pointer to the first file; and creating a hidden file in the folder containing the first file, the hidden file containing a list of pointers to the shortcut files.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system for tamper detection. A tamper detection system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: a passive electronic sensor including a circuit having first, second, and third nodes; a load connected between the first and second nodes of the circuit; a friable electrical connection element connected between the second and third nodes of the circuit; and a storage unit, connected to the second node of the circuit, for storing an identification code of the sensor; wherein in use a voltage is applied across the first and third nodes of the circuit, and when the friable electrical connection element is intact, the second node of the circuit is at a first voltage, and when the friable electrical connection element is broken, the second node of the circuit is at a second voltage.
Abstract:
System for enhancing the security of the e-mails transmitted from a sender (10) to a receiver (12) over a data transmission network such as Internet wherein a Message Transfer Agent (MTA) (14) associated with the sender is in charge of transmitting over the network an original e-mail sent by the sender. The MTA associated with the sender includes a message splitting means (16) adapted to divide the original e-mail into a plurality of chunks according to a predetermined algorithm and a predetermined list of relay MTAs (20, 22, 24) to which are forwarded the plurality of chunks. The system comprises a chunk assembly agent (28) for receiving from the relay MTAs the plurality of chunks and re-assembling them by using the predetermined algorithm in order to re-build the e-mail before sending it to the receiver.
Abstract:
Electronic system for managing the payment by the users of car parks comprising at least one kiosk (16, 18 or 20) used by a user to perform a payment corresponding to the period of time the user's car is authorized to be parked in a car park (10, 12 or 14) and a payment device located located inside the user's car having a screen visible from outside for displaying the time limit until which the car is authorized to be parked. The kiosk and the payment devices of the cars parked in the car park are connected by a wireless link so that the kiosk detects a car when it is parked within the car park and registers the car identification, the kiosk transmitting to the payment device the time limit to be displayed on its screen after the user has performed the payment corresponding to the amount of time for which the car will be authorized to be parked.
