Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a graphical user interface device for a server computer system which simplifies maintenance operation and can be connected to a plurality of client computer systems in a computer network, and the method for loading to the client computer systems. SOLUTION: This device is equipped with a means which displays a plurality of client indicators representing the client computer systems 30 respectively and a plurality of profile indicators which are stored in the server computer system 20 and represents functions that can be executed by the client computer systems 30. Then the function that a client indicator indicates is loaded from the server computer system 20 to the client computer system 30 that the client indicator indicates.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To consider the activity of a user in a work station and to reduce the loss of data transmission time between a client system and a server by predicting the type of a software module based on a using history and automatically performing transfer based on the monitoring of a traffic level. SOLUTION: A server system 20 transmits a first software module type to a connected client system 30. A control software predicts the type of the software module assumed to be requested by the same client based on a data gathering software or compiled history information. The control software decides whether or not LAN traffic is smaller than a certain threshold value, and when it is so, makes a push software push the predicted module to the client 30.

Abstract: An article for providing a visual deterrent against theft of a portable electronic device is provided. The portable electronic device such as a portable computer has a first portion, such as a keyboard and body part and a second portion such as a display hinged for rotation relative to the first portion. The article comprises a body arranged to prevent hinging of the second portion relative to the first portion and a lock for preventing removal of the body of the article from the portable electronic device.

Abstract: An error recovery technique is disclosed, suitable for use for the automatic installation of software to a client data processing system from a connected server data processing system. The installation process is made up of a plurality of operations executing on the client, for example format client disk drive, 318, load DOS, 324, and so on. Monitoring the successful completion of each of these operations on the client is watchdog timer code which preferably takes the form of device driver software received, 308, from the server system early in the installation process. At the beginning of each operation, a preselected time value is written, 316, to a counter in the watchdog timer, this time value representing a time period which is greater than the time normally taken for the respective operation to complete. If the counter expires before the operation is complete (if for example the server system or network fails), the client invokes an error recovery procedure which may for example involve rebooting, 342, the client.

Abstract: Software modules (e.g. dynamically loadable code such as java applets) are pre-emptively transferred in a data processing network from a host data processing system for execution on a client data processing system. The software modules are of a number of different types, each type providing a different service at the client system (e.g. e-mail, text editor etc). The host system determines the type of a first software module transferred to a client and makes a prediction, based on this determination, as to the type of software module that may next be required at the client. The predicted software module is then transferred to the client system in advance of any request for same from the client.

Abstract: A client is arranged so that at power up it makes a request to a server for first boot code which allows the client to boot from its own mass storage. Since the OS is not sent from the server over the network, traffic flow is eased whilst strict control of client software type is maintained. The configuration of a client may be checked prior to software, particularly OS, installation by a server. The server, detecting a new client on the network, down-loads scan code onto the client. The client then runs the scan code and returns hardware configuration data to the server. If the OS of the client is to be modified then the server sends different, second boot code to the client which instructs the client to boot (a new OS) directly from the server. The OS from the server is then installed on the client mass storage device, and subsequent IPLs take place using the first boot code.

Abstract: Graphic user interface apparatus, for a server computer system which is connectable to a plurality of client computer systems in a computer network, comprises means for displaying a plurality of client indicators, each signifying a different one of the client computer systems, and a plurality of profile indicators, each signifying a different function stored in the server computer system and executable by one or more of the client computer systems. Means is provided for associating a selected profile indicator with a selected client indicator. Loading means loads, in response to the association, the function signified by the selected profile indicator from the server computer system to the client computer system signified by the selected client indicator.

Abstract: A method of workload balancing, for use in a network 100 having a plurality of nodes 102-110 is described. The network has a plurality of possible routes between at least two of the nodes 102, 104. The method comprises monitoring usage of the network by at least each of the at least two of the plurality of nodes. Data is then recorded regarding the usage of the network. Pattern recognition is performed on the recorded data so as to recognise usage patterns. Responsive to such usage patterns, routes are allocated between at least the at least two of the plurality of nodes. For a node with multiple servers, then server pool balancing is provided in acceptance with usage patterns.
