A gateway (100) enables communications between a personal area network (30), such as a Zigbee network, and an Internet Protocol (IP) network (20). The gateway (100) includes a first interface device (102) for connecting to the personal area network, a second interface device for connecting to the IP network (104), and a gateway controller (106). In one embodiment, the gateway controller (106) allocates ports on an IP interface to one or more clients (32) in said personal area network (30), stores a routing table (110) in memory for relating said clients (32) in said personal area network (30) with their corresponding ports, and transfers messages between said personal area network clients (32) and said IP network (20) based on entries in said routing table (110). In other embodiments, the gateway (100) may function in conjunction with a gateway proxy (120).

A remote computing session management process is directed to the execution and management of aspects of virtual instances executed on data center computers at a program execution service (PES) platform. A computing session may be established between the PES platform and a computing device connected to the PES platform over a communications network. The data created by the user of the client computing device interacting with the virtual instance may be stored, and following an interruption of the remote computing session, the data may be used when re-establishing the remote computing session.

Management of computing sessions

Systems and methods are presented for enabling a user to provide rules for the placement of computing resources at a data center for an entity that employs or is associated with the user. The data center can use the placement rules to select a data center computer system to host computing resources for a user. The rules can be used to establish diversity in computing resource placement at the data center thereby reducing the number of users who lose access to computing resources when a specific data center computer suffers a failure. Further, the placement rules can be used to facilitate configuration of the computer resources for the user based, for example, on the user's employment responsibilities.

Automated desktop placement

Systems and methods are presented for accessing an application available from a data center of a program execution service. The metadata associated with a user computing device may be used to determine whether the user computing device is authorized to access the application through a virtual desktop instance. At least a portion of the application may be executed by the virtual desktop instance and provided to the user. Applications may be purchased, licensed, or rented by a user.

Systems and methods are presented for automatically selecting a data center that can communicate with a user computing system over a connection that provides reduced or minimal latency. In some cases, the system can select the data center based on the calculation of one or more latency factors that correlate, at least in part, to the latency of a communication channel between the data center and the user computing system. Further, the selected data center may be identified from a set of data centers that include one or more computing resources the user has identified as desiring to access.

Automated data center selection

The invention relates to a method for controlling data connections in a data network comprising a plurality of data network nodes, whereby the quality of a first data connection is evaluated on the basis of the adaptations of at least one coding used for the first data connection, and a second data connection is established according to the evaluation and used as a replacement for the first data connection.

An Internet service access procedure transfers data from an IP (Internet Protocol) or mobile radio infrastructure based network (10) service client to an AdHoc Radio Network (12) terminal (22) through a gateway (14) service proxy using exchange of address, service type and authentication data. Includes Independent claims for equipment using the procedure.

Internet service access procedure for adhoc radio networks uses gateway to fixed infrastructure network with transfer of address, service type and authentication data

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Steuern von Datenverbindungen in einem Datennetz mit einer Vielzahl von Datennetzknoten, bei dem die Qualitat einer ersten Datenverbindung anhand der Anpassungen einer oder mehrerer fur die erste Datenverbindung eingesetzten Kodierungen beurteilt und abhangig von der Beurteilung eine zweite Datenverbindung aufgebaut wird, die als Ersatz fur die erste Datenverbindung genutzt wird.
