Many relations awesome sight why their electronic equipment cast charges diametrical prices for polar types of long-distance calls. Doesn't this penny-pinching that trade can get negatively charged a lot on all of their long line of work resource since both bid can be a contrary price? The statement to this interview is an obvious, "yes." They will sure be live much because of all the auxiliary parties caught up and surplus staircase needful due to the aloofness that their send for must move about.
The district cell phone band or "local bargain carrier" (LEC), as it is renowned in the industry, is the vestibule point for a organism who wishes electronic equipment pay. An LEC, however, is not nervous next to uncovering the best auspicious ways of production the complete long connexion. They are initially basically haunted near attractive meticulousness of the geological network, approaching handset poles & wires and big telecommunication switches, which supports the regional career territory. And of course, they likewise need to brand name certain that all long-distance calls are structured so that all finds the straightlaced communications to the dealings super-highway.
For this reason, a marketplace exists for minor companies to assist organize long lone calls and it all begins with their power to discovery the record-breaking way of making long-distance connections. In the past, location was solitary one way in which calls were related to because within was solitary one telephone organization in the livelong United States. Later on, remaining LEC's were formed but long calls were all static handled by single one long telephone set enterprise. Customers had exceedingly small select about how noticeably they remunerated on their receiver bills, especially on their long calls, which were ofttimes exceedingly high-priced to craft. But after the organization changed medium regulations and enacted anti-monopoly torah antagonistic the one long establishment. Thus, the avenue was cobbled toward allowing otherwise companies, not basically the LEC's, to spoon out customers' long handset needs. Now clientele could pick and choose which guests was active to grant district provision and which was going to donate long-distance. This was especially great for general public who previously owned a lot of long-distance because the new long companies offered considerably more than low-cost taxation compared to those offered by LEC's who were not pressured to insight the peak reorganized distance to formulate the downright tie across all not like areas to the decisive knowing goal.Post ads:

The actual dual-company, phone-service picture scheme that clients can determine one ensemble for their local telephoning wishes - an LEC - and then make a choice a different camaraderie - a long-distance traveller - to switch their long calls. With this set-up, all provincial calls are maintained by an LEC and all long-distance calls by the long-distance haulier. Of course, the LEC will unmoving be trusty for fashioning assured the land line wires forthcoming into a private house trade decently as resourcefully as organizing calls in the provincial zone. But once person wishes to label a long-distance call, the LEC recognizes this unusual customer's order for relation next to a goal that is outer of the local-calling section and sends it to the long-distance traveller. The long owner next takes ended the call for and sends it to the relations super-highway so that the telephone call can fit into place beside cause in another area, state, or even state. The long-distance shipper uses the letter super-highway a short time ago like-minded an LEC would, the divergence woman that it focuses only on long work so that it is able to offering some demean rates than LEC's do. With its notable partnerships allowing it to tennis shot calls to destinations all done the United States as healed as the full world, a long-distance traveller is the world-class and maximum cost-effective resource for consumers.Post ads:

I have duplicate workstations in the inventory, how do I remove them?
This topic was created during version 3.1.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.
9 Replies
Oct 27, 2008 at 8:04 UTC
click on the item, then in details click DELETE and you can prevent it from rescanning on the next screen.
Oct 27, 2008 at 9:00 UTC
Yeah I have tried this but selecting some of them causes Spiceworks to return to the Dashboard page.
So if I delete the the other one what will happen?
Will I not be able to see either?
And how do I prevent duplicates from appearing again?
Oct 27, 2008 at 9:07 UTC
Do you have 2 nic's? Just do a spiceworks backup and then you can just restore if you do something and it comes out wrong.
Oct 27, 2008 at 10:11 UTC
Which Version are you using.
There was an issue in early 3.1 bits.
Maybe you have to do an update before!
Oct 27, 2008 at 10:21 UTC
I've got Spiceworks, Inc. Version 3.1.26822.
Oct 27, 2008 at 10:35 UTC
that should be ok.
what about the 2 NICs BigTinny asked for?
Do you have more than one in the devices that are concerned?
Do they have the same MAC Adress?
Oct 27, 2008 at 10:45 UTC
No the're just basic workstations with one NIC.
Oct 27, 2008 at 12:05 UTC
So, maybe you try this with one of the duplicates first!
If you didn´d add too much additional information like purchase price or location I would delete both device entries.
After that run a full scan and look, if the device has been scanned correctly now.
If it works I would do that with all duplicates.
Oct 28, 2008 at 7:12 UTC
As this might help others I'll post my findings.
Where a duplicate could not be opened, it caused Spiceworks to return to the Dashboard page, deleting the one that could be opened actually deleted both. The new full scan then replaced the missing item along with detail that I had added through the edit facility.

JBL – the American manufacturer owned by Harman International – has launched two new Bluetooth headphones in response to what it calls the "growing market demand for wireless features".
The company says its in-ear JBL J46BT and over-ear JBL Synchros S400BT headphones have been designed to combine high quality sound with the flexibility of wireless Bluetooth connectivity.
First to hit the shelves are the JBL J46BTs, a rare pair of in-ear Bluetooth headphones. Available now for £90, they boast a three-button remote control to adjust volume, play/pause music and answer phone calls.
The buds come with Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity; advanced 6mm drivers; a frequency response of 20Hz to 18KHz; and three sizes of silicone ear tips designed to offer comfort and noise isolation.
In addition, there are two sizes of sports cushions for greater stability. The rechargeable battery has a charge time of 2.5 hours, with the headphones offering a music playing time of five hours. They come in two colours.
More after the break
Meanwhile, the JBL Synchros S400BT are coming to the UK market in March for £250 with the JBL touch sensor control for "an ever simpler way of controlling the listening experience".
Built-in batteries offer 15 hours of playback via Bluetooth 3.0 technology, while you can also connect them using a cable for passive playback mode – even while the battery is recharging.
The 40mm driver aims to provide clarity and hard-hitting bass, while echo-cancellation technology is used to provide "natural sounding" phone calls. They will be available in two colours.

They look nice, I've actually
They look nice, I've actually been considering getting the JBL J46BTs for doing running, skiing and other sports. However, what do you think, are they better Bluetooth headphones than the JayBird BlueBuds X Sport for these things? The JayBird BlueBuds are considered to be some of the best Bluetooth headphones for things like running at Headphons Unboxed which is a source I trust, but the JBL J46BTs do intrigue me a lot actually. Some advice would be appricated…

Hello CM staff,
It appears that only from the CM website, Suppression List page, can one obtain the "Reason" for a recipients inclusion on the suppression list.
Exporting the CSV file from the web page, only gives date and email address and the API's [state]property, unanimously reads "Suppressed".
Is there a more expeditious way to obtain the reason for a suppression list recipient?
Thank-you very much!
Right now I'm afraid it isn't possible to export the reason (via the app or the API) but that is something we will be making possible in a future update. Thanks for the feedback.

Carnival of Hope: Volume 1, Number 7
Welcome to Carnival of Hope! I'd like to thank everyone who sent in submissions, even if I didn't use them.
Before we begin this month's carnival, let's get "coming attractions" out of the way. The April CoH will be posted on Friday, April 13; submissions are due to me by 5 PM PDT on Thursday, April 12. Because of the auspicious date, the theme of the April carnival will be "how bad luck became good." If you have a story about some event in your life that initially seemed like bad luck but was then somehow transformed into a blessing, please send it to me! You can submit directly to me at SusanPal(at)aol(dot)com; please include "Carnival of Hope" in the subject line of your e-mail, and send me the permalink for the post with a two or three-line description of what it's about. You can also use the submission form at BlogCarnival.
Last night, my husband and I attended a wonderful concert of Irish music and dance. One of the performers was Tommy Sands, a renowned singer-songwriter who's also a peace activist in Northern Ireland and elsewhere. Some years back, Sands was invited to Reno to work with gang members in juvenile detention. He helped the kids write songs about their lives, and convinced the juvenile-court judge to accept these songs as court testimony. I haven't been able to find information about what impact this had on sentencing, but as Hugh Blumenfeld notes in his inspiring article Tommy Sands and the Music of Healing, "my guess is that it's hard to throw the book at a boy who can sing the story of his life."
In line with that theme, many of this month's posts are about how caring adults can teach, protect, and influence children. Ideally, of course, the most important adults in a child's life are her parents, and we have several posts about fine parenting.
Karen Shanley tells us how she helped her daughter Cait gain new perspective on her fear of fire in The Steering Wheel. Dr. Hal tells another heartening parenting story in To Be a Good Friend, about his hearing-impaired grandson; instead of teaching the boy to be afraid of the world because of his disability, his parents have taught him to define himself by his gifts and strengths.
Good parents help their children learn about, and accept, loss and sadness. In her very moving eulogy for her aunt, Christina tells us about taking her son to the funeral, an experience she didn't have as a child. "My son listened, and learned that death is a part of life. Not something to fear. Not something to ignore and hide from. He learned a little bit, today, about what it means to love."
Even the best parents sometimes learn the importance of safety precautions the hard way. Mama Mia offers a harrowing lesson in the need to child-proof windows, followed by a wonderful happy ending. Read her husband's post about their son's fall, and then read her own reflections on the accident. MM, I'm so glad everyone's okay!
If children are lucky, they learn important life lessons not just from their parents, but also from caring teachers. Rebecca Newburn tells us how she's taught her students to Take a Vacation from Complaining, a technique older people can also use. And Barbra Sundquist shares an essay from a friend whose very first dance class, when he was seven or eight, has helped him connect with joy for the rest of his life. Read his story in Tied to Joy With A Simple Piece of String.
Many other adults also help children. Megan Bayliss, a social worker in Australia who works with abused kids, sent her submission with this note: "I work in such a dark field that I make a daily point of seeking hope and courage in our unsung heros who just do what they do without any request for thanks." Her post shares some ways for businesses and indivduals to help raise money for Child Protection. Another public-service announcement, about an issue that affects far too many people of all ages, comes to us from Marcella Chester, who tells us about Blog Against Sexual Violence Day, 5 April 2007.
Children who've received help, and who've been taught the importance of help, become adults who help other people. Elliot shares a story of listening to someone who needed an ear in Recent patches of bright light. And here's Mama Mia again, telling us how good communication helped transform someone's viewpoint, and smooth over a difficult relationship, in Apology.
Both as children and as adults, all of us yearn for experiences of unconditional love. That kind of love is all too rare, whatever age we are, but for people of faith, God's love often becomes the inspiration that allows them to reach out to their fellow humans. Lee Long shares one such story in My Cup Runneth Over.
I began this month's edition with a story of how Tommy Sands uses music to try to transform lives. I'll leave you with Tiel Ansari's lovely (and musical) poem Gold Flakes, about the moments when darkness and coldness are transformed into light, life, and love.
See you in April!

Thanks for including my announcement about Blog Against Sexual Violence day in this edition and thanks for the other great links related to hope.ReplyDelete
So many people lose hope that they can make a positive difference in an area that seems so overwhelmingly bad.
A great collection!ReplyDelete
It is so good to have all the posts in one place. I love the carnivals.ReplyDelete
It's also great to have two sexual assault related posts. Thanks Susan. Survivors of sexual assault are so creative, strong and hopefull that I just cannot conceive ever working with any other popolation.
I aim to become a regular monthly submitter to your carnival so am going to spend some time getting to know all the other hope bloggers.
Take care and stay safe.
Megan from Australia.

We present a novel fabrication technology for nano-structured graded index micro-optical components, based on the stack-and-draw method used for photonic crystal fibres. These discrete structures can be described with an effective refractive index distribution. Furthermore we present spherical nano-structured microlenses with a flat facet fabricated with this method and designed using an algorithm based on the Maxwell-Garnett mixing formula. Finally we show theoretical verification by using FDTD simulations for a nano-structured lens as well as experimental data obtained in the microwave regime.

I really never thought I would see the day when I thought it be best for the country that the GOP be discarded onto the trash heap of history. I say this with a heavy heart because if the GOP goes away, the liberals will have free wins until the new party is sufficiently organized. However, if the leadership of out party has basically co-oped the the planks of the libs or becomes unwilling to fight for it's core values, it's time for a drastic change.
The republican party in NY is a job. I can only imagine that in many other NE states it is the same or worse. Time to start over with a party that reflects our core beliefs.
The Tea Party provided guidance in 2010 on how to win elections and with what type of candidate. The GOP rejected that in 2012 and an outright communist was reelected. The GOP is no longer representing us.
Keep in mind that the GOP was founded in 1854; elected members to Cogress in 1856 and won the Presidency in 1860. This was before the internet, TV, radio and the telephone.
We should have a slate ready by mid-year for the entire Congress.

A Projector Helps Students Transform from Bored to Bright
"I teach kindergarten, and it doesn't take much for their attention to be distracted elsewhere," said first-year teacher, Mrs. Griffin.
A bird flying past the window. An itchy nose. Brightly colored shoelaces. Thoughts of lunch. All conspire to distract the five-year-old kindergarten students of her PS 345 Patrolman Robert Bolden classroom in Brooklyn, New York.
As Mrs. Griffin considered the problem, which was compounded by the fact that her class also had both Special Needs and English Language learners, she deduced a common denominator: many students couldn't see her. If they couldn't see her, they weren't engaged, and therefore, they couldn't learn.
And so she wondered. How could she keep 25 pairs of kindergartners' eyes trained on her during a whole day of teaching? That's when she considered a projector for the classroom. But where would she get the money?
Realizing that her school had limited funds, Mrs. Griffin reached out to DonorsChoose.org for help. In less than a month, her project was funded and her class received an Epson VS210 LCD projector.
But Mrs. Griffin points out that technology is only part of the solution. "We are performers; every day we are putting on a performance, and find a way to reach every one of those different learners." And so she began to devise ways of applying the new technology to her lesson plans.
Bringing Lessons to Life
Combining imagination with preparation, Mrs. Griffin incorporated the projector into her daily routine. To make storytime more appealing and accessible to the entire class, Mrs. Griffin transforms each book into a mini-movie. She takes photos of every page, narrates the book, using her video-editing software at home. Then she projects the story in class.
"The book comes to life—they absolutely love it!" says Mrs. Griffin.
After one of her book-to-movies about a chameleon, Mrs. Griffin transitioned into an educational video on other animals that use camouflage in nature. Without the children even noticing, Mrs. Griffin was able to turn storytime into a lesson. "It helps supplement my lesson plans and opens their eyes to new things. The Internet is something that's not accessible at home for my students."
And it's not just Mrs. Griffin who is over the moon about the projector—the students have shown their appreciation in ways that teachers love best. Attendance has risen, tardiness has dropped and, most importantly, the children's schoolwork has improved. "It's not just one or two students; it's the class as a whole," she said.
Classroom Projector Opportunities Abound
The more she uses the projector, the more applications Mrs. Griffin is finding for it. Rather than gathering 25 students around a small monitor to use an interactive CD, they can see it projected.
"There's a math CD-ROM that comes with the enVision Math material we teach," said Mrs. Griffin. "It helps with their scores and retention, because it's interactive. It's not just a teacher talking and giving instruction, they're seeing it in play. It's been a tremendous help."
Every child can also see their "sight word" of the day, plus Mrs. Griffin uses her computer through the projector to display the "Daily Fix-It", an intentionally error-filled sentence that the students are to correct. Although a dry-erase board used to suffice for this part of her lesson, the projector captures the students' attention like nothing else.
"Even with a dry-erase board, I'd always hear 'I can't see!' or 'It's too far away!'" We even tried using two dry-erase boards on either end of the room, but that didn't work either. Now with the projector, everybody sees!"
Mrs. Griffin's innovative application of technology combined with the generosity of the donations through organizations like DonorsChoose.org have given these children better tools for learning. Thanks to Mrs. Griffin, her students are not only more excited to come to school every day, but their learning and aptitude have been greatly enhanced.
Mrs. Griffin says it best: "Now that we've got the projector, we can't live without it."

How Does An Elder Eld? (2 of 4) by Jeff Strite
This content is part of a series.How Does An Elder Eld? (2 of 4)
Series: Making The Church Go
Jeff Strite
Titus 1:5-11
OPEN: In one medical school, the students were complaining that they didn't see why a class in Physics was necessary for them to be doctors. Finally one student actually challenged the teacher with that question.
The teacher thought about that for a moment and then said ''Well, we study Physics because it will help save lives.''
''Save lives?'' Someone said ''How could a class in Physics possibly save lives?''
The teacher smiled and replied ''It saves lives because it keeps ignorant people from becoming doctors.''
APPLY: In every field of endeavor there are certain qualifications workers need to meet.
* Doctors need to know about diseases, and about how the human body works.
* Electricians need to understand the properties of electrical current and know how wire homes/businesses
* Auto Mechanics need to have a working knowledge of most makes of cars and how their engines work.
These are the kinds of information and skills these people need to do their job right.
When a business needs to hire new workers they'll often post a help wanted ad - and the ad will tell what requirements necessary for someone to be hired for that job.
Here in Titus chapter 1 (and also in I Timothy 3) God has posted a help wanted ad. God wants good Elders to look after His church… and so He tells us what He expects of these men. According to Paul's instructions to Titus, these are the qualifications for a good Elder:
· He's a good husband
· He's a good father
· He's not someone who has to have his own way (not overbearing)
· He's doesn't get angry easily
· He's not a drinker
· He's a honest, gentle man who likes helping people out
· It's obvious he takes his faith seriously and works at living a holy/disciplined life
· He knows the Bible well enough so that he can use Scripture to encourage believers and oppose heresy
· He must have a strong enough character to stand ...

Zhu - Faded (Delta Heavy Bootleg)New music from Delta Heavy!
Listen / buy
Locked in sonic solitude, Delta Heavy have been working on new material, following their massive 'Reborn' release (which hit over 400,000 streams!).
In the meantime, here's a bootleg the production duo provided for 'Faded'. The track already rose to notoriety after it was released by the anonymous electronic artist Zhu; a person who wished to remain a mystery and let the music talk. And Delta Heavy pay it justice. Adding an up-tempo spin, they add their own signature flare to the original, whilst giving it another musical-dimension. Utilising the vocals in a way that adds urgency but doesn't draw away from their tantalising appeal.
And what's more, they've offered the bootleg up for free download. So, whilst you're waiting on their next release, whet your appetite for more Delta Heavy with this next-level rework.

The present invention is directed to information handling systems, and more particularly to a system and method for allowing a user to access and read selected portions of text from electronic versions of book volumes belonging to various sources including publishers and authors, stored in one or more remote computer storage locations.
Recently over the years, books particularly school textbooks carried by students have proliferated in numbers, and each have grown increasingly bulkier and heavier. This trend has been set largely in part by tougher academic regimen in school programs, and considerable pressure on the part of publishers to increase profitability. As a result of this trend, many of the students are now forced to use large-capacity book bags or backpack-type bags for carrying heavy book loads to and from school, and sometimes, between classes. There have been instances where students had to carry loads in excess of their own body weights. Students who carry loads above what is considered medically safe, are especially prone to developing posture problems, neck/back pains and injuries, and possibly permanent spinal damage.
Current medical statistics show that more than 3,300 children between the ages of 5 and 14 were treated in emergency rooms for injuries related to carrying full oversized book bags/backpacks, and that up to 60 percent of all children will experience back pain by the time they reach age 18. Moreover, a recent study published in the journal Spine, determined that as much as 6 percent of 10-year-olds complained of back pain, while for 12-year-olds that figure rises to 10–15 percent. Most physicians believe that the main reason for the rising incidence of back pain among the youth may be the modern day book bag—the backpack.
Medical physicians typically recommend that students should carry no more than 10 to 20 percent of their own body weight in order to maintain a healthy spine. Such recommendations are difficult to put into practice by students in view of current academic pressures and obligations. Most students also undertake after-school activities which require them to carry more items such as additional books, musical instruments, sports gears, clothing, supplies, and the like. To reduce the burden on their backs, some students have resorted to using wheeled suitcases for transporting books and other items. However, such bulky wheeled suitcases pose their own problems and concerns associated with safety, mobility, and storage.
The problems plaguing students as described above, is not limited only to students and the school place. Any person who travels from one place to another may also appreciate the difficulties associated with carrying a load of books over some distance.
As to security and safety matters in public places especially on school grounds, carry bags including backpacks have come under greater scrutiny. Responding to such concerns, some administrators in schools have placed strict limits on the use of carry bags and the accessing of school lockers. Such measures have created a desire to find alternative means for students to transport their educational materials.
Therefore, it would be of significant advance in the art of education and text management to develop a text management system comprised of one or more remote computers or servers with database memory for providing text storage and maintenance of personalized library profiles for users or subscribers to avoid the burdens of physical books. A user would access his/her personalized library profile via a personal computer connected by a computer network to the computer or server for permitting the user to retrieve select text works for viewing, reading, and/or printing. The system provides a user with mobile access to his/her personalized library profile as assigned to the specific user. The computerized library is relatively inexpensive to implement, easily accessible, and widely available wherever the user can access the remote server of the system via the computer network.
The computer network can be a local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), or the Internet, for example, in fact, through the use of either a LAN or WAN, public libraries may be converted into computerized public libraries for accessing electronic versions of book volumes therethrough, eliminating physical books, and thereby reducing the physical size of the library and the costs associated with maintaining a physical library. Such a computer system can be easily implemented and maintained in a cost efficient and effective manner using current and developing technologies.
In the educational arena, the student user or the school can select the text works to be included in the personalized library profile of the student user as well as provide a schedule of work assignments for a particular school cycle. One benefit of such systems is that students and non-students alike can personalize their respective library profiles for their own purposes and needs, and remotely access the "libraries" from home, school, workplace, public library, and other sites. The system enables the student or non-student to "virtually carry" their books from one place to another without the physical difficulties, problems, and complications described above. Another benefit is the reduction or elimination of the incidence of lost or damaged books because the text of the book volumes are stored on the remote computer systems in the associated database or memory, and not on the person of the user. A further benefit relates to the promotion of security and safety in public places especially on school grounds for the student population at large.
The present invention is generally directed to a method and system comprised of one or more remote computer systems or servers which provides mass storage of electronic text libraries and personal library profiles individually assigned to each user, and a computer network selectively permitting users to use their personal computers to connect through the network to the remote computer system to gain access to his/her personalized text library. The method and system is relatively inexpensive to implement, easily accessible and widely available via personal computers connected to the computer network, and can be maintained in a cost efficient and effective manner.
In particular, one aspect of the present invention is directed to a method and system of enabling a plurality of users to each individually operate a user computer system connected to a communication link to remotely retrieve discrete data units from one of a plurality of electronic publications stored on a central computer system via a communication link connected therebetween for local viewing by the user, a single reader. The present method and system comprises:
(a.) establishing a library database in a central computer for storing a plurality of electronic publications, each of the publications comprised of a plurality of discrete data units;
(b.) establishing a user profile database in the central computer for storing a plurality of individual user profiles, and through which user is provided with selective access to the library database;
(c.) receiving a request for data units from a user, and enabling the user to selectively retrieve desired one or more data units from a selected one of the electronic publications;
(d.) determining the validity of the user's request based upon information in the request and information stored in an associated individual user profile of the user profile database;
(e.) transmitting the desired data units upon determining the validity of the user's request, from the central computer system to a user computer system operated by the user via a communication link connected therebetween; and
(f.) displaying the desired data units on a display device of the user computer system for viewing by the user, wherein the displaying is performed in response to the transmitting the desired data units from the central computer system to the user computer system.
Various embodiments of the invention are described with reference to the following drawings, in which like reference characters indicate like items, wherein:
The present invention is generally directed to a method and system of text management developed in a manner that provides a user remote access over a communications link such as the Internet to a personal electronic text library stored in a remote central computer system. This method and system of text management substantially eliminates the need to physically transport or carry books between two locations, i.e., from school to home and vice versa. In this manner, users may avoid the physical difficulties associated with carrying weighty loads of books. The method and system is also designed with the advantage of wide accessibility, effective security and ease of use.
In addition, the method and system may be implemented in a manner which allows the user to make further selections or deletions of text works in the personal electronic library depending on the user's school needs, job goals, interests, tastes, and the like. The cost effective and efficient manner by which these systems are maintained and by which the method and system can be implemented makes them especially suitable for academic, educational, occupational, and personal use. The term "text works" as used herein refers to and includes words, symbols, graphic and textual representations, charts, and any other such items found in books, articles, newspapers, magazines, reports, documents and the like in electronic form which can be displayed using appropriate display or reader devices as will be described hereinafter.
The present invention generally comprises a central computer system including a programmable central processor unit (CPU), such as a microprocessor, a database in which the profiles of a plurality of users, including students and non-students, are stored and updated, and a text database for storing text works from various books/text books. The information contained in the profiles includes user identification data and personal library information. The microprocessor may be replaced by a large mainframe computer where high memory storage is required, along with high volume processing of data or text transfers.
Preferably, the users use their personal computers to receive portions of the programmed text works from the database over a computer network such as the Internet. The Internet comprises a vast number of computers that are interconnected through a multitude of communication links. The interconnected computers exchange information using various services, such as electronic mail, Gopher, Archie, Telnet, File Transfer Protocol ("FTP"), and the World Wide Web ("WWW"). It is contemplated that any one of the information transfer protocols available and utilized on the Internet or other telecommunication networks may be used to implement the present invention.
One popular file sharing system utilized is the WWW service on the Internet which is governed by the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). With use of the WWW service, a remote computer system (i.e., Web server or Web site) can be accessed to transfer graphical Web pages of information to a user's personal computer system (i.e., client computer). The user can use their computer system to display the information on a monitor or print the information on a printer device. Each resource (e.g., computer or Web page) of the WWW is uniquely identifiable by a Uniform Resource Locator ("URL"). To view a specific Web page, a user computer system specifies the URL for that Web page in a request (e.g., a Hypertext Transfer Protocol or "HTTP" request). The request is forwarded to the Web server that supports that Web page. When the Web server receives the request, it sends that Web page to the user computer system. When the user computer system receives that Web page, it typically displays the Web page using a browser. A browser is a special purpose application program that effects the requesting of Web pages and the displaying of Web pages.
It will be understood that the present invention is further applicable to communications between systems and users that use non-Internet channels, e.g, cable, direct satellite link-ups, direct broadcast, phone modem connections, or any means of communication, provided the method of communication permits delivery of an identified video message or text for display to an identified specific user. The specific textual and graphical material transmitted may vary as a function of the information contained in the profiles of the user in the database. In addition, the profiles may change from time to time with each resulting change in school course work, personal tastes and interests, job goals and the like set by the user or a school, if the user is a student. Furthermore, the programmed text may be changed or modified as a function of the year, the course syllabus, new publishing editions, corrections and other conditions and circumstances.
Referring to
The CPU 10 may be any type of computer system, for example a mainframe, a server-based system of PCs, a stand-alone microprocessor and the like. The CPU 10 has the usual operator interface 26, e.g. a keyboard, a graphics/text scanner, and complement of memory and IO devices (not shown). Of significance here is that the CPU 10 maintains a plurality of databases including a text database 28 in which it stores a large library of selectable/searchable text works, i.e., published works of the publishers, distributors, authors, and other text content incorporated from other sources, i.e., publisher, user, student, operator, instructor, school, employer, and the like, hereinafter collectively known as "text providers" 30, 32 . . . 34. Such text providers 30, 32, 34 download their respective text works into the CPU 10 for storage in the database 28. The database 28 stores the actual text works, and the profile of the works including information such as the identity of the author and publisher, subject matter category identifiers, and other pertinent information including, but not limited to title, publishing date, ISDN, genre, school, reading level and the like.
The plurality of databases further include a user profile database 36 for receiving and storing the actual profiles of the individual users 14, 16, 17 . . . 18. The profiles specify user criteria such as personal identification data, personal library content specifications, account password, system usage data and privileges, text selection history, and the like. Optionally, the plurality of databases may further include a school criteria database 38 for receiving and storing individual school profiles of participating schools or educational institutions. Here, each school profile includes school criteria such as the school name, school identification number, the identification of the participating students, and the individual listings of text works assigned to each student for study. Together, these databases enable the present invention to attain its purpose of receiving, directing and storing text works for facilitated retrieving, transmitting, and displaying of such text works as selected by the individual user.
The operation and control block 40 contains the executable portion of the program code which operates the CPU 10, and which controls the overall operation of the system of the present invention. For example, the operation and control block 40 may include software for handling billing of users for accessing and retrieving of text works.
Referring to
Upon input of the user identification indicator and password, the program proceeds to decisional block 50 where the program searches the user profile database 36 to determine which user profile is associated with the user identification indicator and whether the password is valid. Upon proper validation, the user is permitted access to the profile or account as represented by block 52. There the user may perform housekeeping functions such as changing passwords, modifying personal information, database management, customer and business service, changing appearance/display preferences, and the like. It should be understood that the method and system can be programmed so that different classes of users can be created according to their purpose for accessing the databases and the services each user desires to choose. For example, users who are text providers have greater access privileges to the text database 28 for the purpose of maintaining, updating, removing, modifying, downloading, etc., their respective text works stored on the database 28, and users who are students may be restricted to certain text work titles.
Once the user finishes all housekeeping functions, the program proceeds to the next step of block 54 to display the list of text works associated with the accessed profile. The program proceeds to decisional block 56 where the program queries what operation is to be performed with respect to the list of text works. If the operation is a response to a request from the user to modify the list, the program proceeds to block 58 where the list may be modified as desired by user and, upon approval by the CPU 10 and the operation and control block 40, updated. Block 58 also includes a routine to permit the user to search for other text works according to parameters such as title, author, ISDN, subject matter, key words, genres, publication date, and the like in a search engine program. Once the modifications to the list have been made and updated, the program returns to block 54 to display the updated list. The user is only permitted to access the text works contained on the list associated with the user profile. The program then proceeds to decisional block 56. If the operation is in response to a request from the user to view text works, the program proceeds to block 60. Block 60 includes a routine which permits the user to select the text work and the portion of the text work to be displayed by chapters, pages, line numbers or the like. Block 60 further includes a routine permitting the user to search the selected text work by one or more keyword criteria and the like. The search result may display all the page numbers where the keyword appeared in the text work or some other means for conveying such information to the user.
Once the user selects the text work and selects the portions to be displayed, the program proceeds to block 62 where the program draws the selected text works from the database 28 or some other remote database maintained by other sources as represented by text providers 30, 32 . . . 34, and transmits the portions of selected text work over the Internet or some other telecommunication network to the PC 14, 16 . . . or 18 for display or viewing on the monitor 20, 22, 23 . . . or 24 or printing.
Optionally, the PC 14, 16 . . . or 18 may include reader enhancement software which is either installed or loaded upon the download of the portions of the selected text work. Such a reader enhancement software provides to the user a viewing display having high font resolution and rendering capabilities which mimics the convenience, visual sensation and appearance of traditional paper-based text, in addition to providing the benefits of electronic-based text works. The reader enhancement software may also include a flexible copy protection system which allows text providers to distribute their text works with protection from piracy and illegal copying. One such reader enhancement software is the MICROSOFT READER software product offered and sold by Microsoft Corporation.
Once the portion of the selected text work is transferred into user's computer, the user may simply display the text work on the monitor and read it, or print a hard copy of portions of the selected text work on the printer. Once displayed on the monitor, the user may scroll back and forth through the requested and transmitted portion of the selected text work. Once the user finishes reading the text work, the user may then exit the display screen. The program then proceeds to decisional block 64 where it queries whether the user desires to end the program or continue and retrieve another portion of the same text work or select a different text work for viewing. If the operation is a response to a request from the user to continue to another text work, the program proceeds to block 52 for re-accessing the user's profile. Otherwise, the program proceeds to block 66 where the link between the CPU 10 and the PC 14, 16 . . . 18 is terminated or closed.
To prevent illegal copying or piracy of the text work accessible to the user for copyright or proprietary purposes, electronic security measures may be implemented in the system to prevent such misappropriation or misuse. One such measure includes electronically timestamping all text works or files transferred from the remote server database 28 to the user's PC 14, 16 . . . 18. The timestamp program is electronically embedded therein and activates upon a certain preset time or date whereby upon activation prevents the associated text work file from being viewed, copied or accessed. The program may also be programmed to cause the text work to be actively erased from the user's PC 14, 16 . . . 18 upon the expiration of a certain time or date. Other measures include limiting the portion of selected text work by page, chapter, text file size, for example, that is retrievable by the user at a given time to inhibit wholesale copying of the text work and limiting the number of times the portion of the selected text work may be printed. It is understood that the security measures are not to be construed as limiting to those described above, and may include other security measures contemplated and implemented for protecting the proprietary nature and interests associated with the system and the text work accessible by the user therethrough.
The specific task of responding to a user's request to register for the purposes of allowing non-member users to create a profile or account is illustrated in the general software block diagram of
Upon receiving the requested information, the program proceeds to block 76 where it initiates a set of routines for verifying the status and completeness of the billing information. If the program determines the billing information is invalid, the program returns to block 74 to repeat the billing information request. Otherwise, the program proceeds to block 80 where it creates a new user profile or account, and assigns a user identification indicator and a password for the newly created profile.
The program initiates a set of routines in block 82 for building a list of text works for the user. The text works will be selected within the various main categories of study, interests or subject matter provided. In the alternative, a search engine may be provided to search for text works according to criteria such as title, author, ISDN, publisher, genre, subject matter, key word, reading level, and the like. Once the selection for the list is made and approved, the program proceeds to determine in block 84 whether the list is acceptable to the user. If not, the routines for building the list are reinitiated in block 84. Otherwise, the program proceeds to block 86 for finalizing and updating the newly created list in the profile and displaying the list of text works chosen by the user. The program proceeds to decisional block 56 of the flowchart in
The specific task of registering a student user is illustrated in the general software block diagram of
Once the list of text works is created and updated in the user profile, the program proceeds to block 52 of the flowchart in
The foregoing discussion discloses and describes merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention. One skilled in the art will readily recognize from such discussion, and from the accompanying drawings and claims, that various changes, modifications and variations can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.
