In a network system without a server, a network device and a system that can share information in all devices efficiently and surely are provided. CPUs of a plurality of devices connected to a network determine a host device based on device numbers and network strengths of each of the devices. When transmitting share information stored in a memory to the host device, the CPUs of the client devices merge share information transmitted from the other client devices with the share information stored in the memories so as to transmit the merged information to the host device. The CPU of the host device generates share information about all the devices so as to distribute the information to all the client devices. When the share information is changed, the CPU of the host device generates finite difference information with respect to previous share information so as to distribute the information to all the client devices. When the share information is successively changed, the CPU of the host device merges the respective pieces of finite difference information so as to distribute the information to the client devices.

A system of replicating data stored on a source node. Replication can be configured between two controllers, the source node on the one hand, and a target node on the other. A synchronization relationship between the source node and the target node is established and maintained. The synchronization relationship can be quickly and easily created for disaster recovery, real-time backup and failover, thereby ensuring that data on the source node is fully-protected at an off-site location or on another server or VM, for example, at another data center, a different building or elsewhere in the cloud. Processes described herein streamline the entire replication setup process, thereby significantly reducing error rates in conventional systems and making the replication process more user friendly than in conventional systems.

A method of evaluating digital content displayed on an electronic tabletop device includes receiving a plurality of non-intentional signals generated in response to a plurality of users interacting with at least one of the digital content displayed on the electronic tabletop device and each other, classifying the plurality of non-intentional signals into a first set of data including user-specific non-intentional signals and a second set of data including collaborative non-intentional signals, correlating the plurality of non-intentional signals to user profiles corresponding to the plurality of users, and generating an evaluation report including information indicating a collaborative quality of the digital content based on the plurality of non-intentional signals and a correlation of the plurality of non-intentional signals to the user profiles.

Systems and methods for synchronizing data between a database system and its client applications are provided. After a regular synchronization, objects' records on a user computing device may be checked against a new sharing rule. Newly shared records may be synced down to the user computing device regardless of timestamps, and all records which the user no longer has access to may be removed from the user computing device. Consequently, data on the user computing device complies with the new sharing rule.

Various embodiments of systems and methods for replicating data included in a portable electronic device to a new portable electronic device are described herein. Initially a copy of data, including an application, stored in the portable electronic device is generated. Next a determination is made whether the application is included in an application distribution platform corresponding to an operating system of the new portable electronic device. Finally based on the determination, the application is downloaded from the application distribution platform to the new portable electronic device.

A method and system for identifying changes to a data set, such as data within a mailbox, and performing actions based on the identified changes is discussed. In some examples, the system receives an indication of a change to a mailbox, creates a change journal entry for the change, and identifies data to be copied via the change journal entry. In some examples, the system leverages the change journal to associate messages with changes to a mailbox.

A system and process for applying access groups for controlling data access, by a processor device. The process receives from a user a request to access data associated with a person from a file system, whereby the request invokes at least one software method. Next method interception is performed by matching the at least one software method. Group membership of the user and at least one group membership of the person is accessed. Determining if each of the following conditions of i) the user is a member of a specific group and ii) the specific group contains the person are verified. In response to the conditions being verified, the process sends the data to a user device to display to the user, otherwise denying the request to access data. Each group can have one or more criteria, which add patients to that group based on the conditions of those criteria.

A system, method, apparatus and electronic control unit are provided for centralized data collection at a single controller device (110) in a distributed service-oriented system (100) by applying one or more classifiers (102-104, 114) to a message traffic packet (1) received at the Ethernet switch (101) of the single controller device to selectively identify service update information from service-oriented traffic messages in the message traffic packet without generating additional message traffic packets on the network system bus, and by mirroring each message traffic packet (3) containing service update information to a processing element (111) in the single controller to identify and extract specified data from the identified service update information for storage in a centralized database which is updated as services publish new information on the network system bus.
