TL;DR: In this paper, a method for monitoring client interaction with a resource downloaded from a server (10) in a computer network includes the steps of using a client (12) to specify an address of a resource located on a first server, downloading a file corresponding to the resource from the first server in response to specification of the address, using the client to specify a first executable program located on another server, the address of the first executable programs being embedded in the file downloaded from the second server, and a software timer for monitoring the amount of time the client(12) spends interacting with
Abstract: A method for monitoring client (12) interaction with a resource downloaded from a server (10) in a computer network includes the steps of using a client (12) to specify an address of a resource located on a first server (10), downloading a file corresponding to the resource from the first server (10) in response to specification of the address, using the client (12) to specify an address of a first executable program located on a second server (10), the address of the first executable program being embedded in the file downloaded from the first server (10), the first executable program including a software timer for monitoring the amount of time the client (12) spends interacting with and displaying the file downloaded from the first server (10), downloading the first executable program from the second server to run on the client (12) so as to determine the amount of time the client (12) interacts with the file downloaded from the first server (10). A server (10) for use in analysis and automatically serving out files assembled according to user interests and preferences.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a client-server system where a local client computer provides a user interface to interact with at least one remote server computer which implements data processing in response to the local client computers.
Abstract: Client-server systems and methods for transferring data via a network, including a wireless network, between a server (61) and one or more clients (41) or browsers that are spatially distributed (i.e., situated at different locations). At least one local client computer provides a user interface to interact with at least one remote server computer which implements data processing in response to the local client computer. The user interface may be a browser or a thin client.

31 Aug 1999TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for transmitting data from a server to a client via blocks is described, where a user query for a solution set is transmitted to a server, which is then used to query a database for a first subset of the solution set, and when a second request from the client for the data in the database of the server is received, a second block of the data sets is queried from the database, built and then transmitted to the client over the network.
Abstract: A system and method are provided for transmitting data from a server to a client via blocks. A user query for a solution set is transmitted to a server, which is then used to query a database for a first subset of the solution set. A first block of data is built from data in the database of the server, containing a subset of the solution set, and is then sent to the client over a network. When a second request from the client for the data in the database of the server is received, a second block of the data sets is queried from the database, built, and then transmitted to the client over the network.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method and system for establishing and maintaining a secure TCP/IP session between a server having a database and a client, which includes sending a hello message from the client to the server to establish client authorization.
Abstract: A method and system for establishing and maintaining a secure TCP/IP session between a server (1) having a database (3) and a client (21-a, 21-b, 21-c), the method includes sending a hello message from the client to the server (1) to establish client authorization, the server (1) sends a server session ID and a session private key to the client to establish the session.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method for collecting, storing, and retrieving data in a database management system, which includes creating a transaction in a local database resident on a workgroup user client, entering the transaction into a transaction log resident on the work group user client and creating transaction file corresponding to the transaction log in an outbox of the workgroup users client.
Abstract: Method of and apparatus for collecting, storing, and retrieving data in a database management system. The database management system has an enterprise server and at least one workgroup user client. The method includes creating a transaction in a local database resident on said workgroup user client, entering the transaction into a transaction log resident on the workgroup user client, and creating a transaction file corresponding to the transaction log in an outbox of the workgroup user client. The workgroup user client transaction log is read, skipping those transactions which originate at the enterprise server, data files are created corresponding to the entries. The data files corresponding to transactions originating at the workgroup user client are read to an inbox on the enterprise server, thus updating the transactions into an enterprise database on the enterprise server.
