Abstract: La présente invention concerne la synchronisation de messages de notification transmis à des unités de contrôle de sortie afin de permettre une distribution équilibrée des messages.  Selon l'invention, une pluralité d'unités de tamponnage de paquets (PBU) peuvent transmettre simultanément des messages de notification à une unité de contrôle de sortie particulière en réponse aux paquets reçus en provenance d'une pluralité d'unités de contrôle d'entrée.  Chaque PBU comprend une file de notification associée à l'unité de contrôle de sortie, qui est destinée à stocker les notifications produites par la PBU.  Les notifications figurant dans les files de notifications sont classées selon les unités d'entrée qui enclenchent lesdites notifications.  Les notifications de chaque file de notification sont extraites via un pointeur temporel qui est initialisé à une position d'entrée de départ différente pour les files de notification de chaque PBU.  Cela permet à chaque PBU de transmettre, à tout moment, à l'unité de contrôle de sortie des notifications qui sont associées à une unité d'entrée différente.  L'unité de contrôle de sortie réceptrice tient à jour une pluralité d'unités mémoires destinées à stocker simultanément une partie des messages de notification reçus sur la base des unités d'entrée qui leur sont associées.

Abstract: A digital data communication system enables
host computer to communicate with a great number of data
terminals having specified functions. Communication from
the host computer proceeds through a medium or long
distance, high power transceiver and through a multiplex
system to one of a number of portable communication
devices. The communication devices preferably contain
internal power supplies, such as rechargeable NiCad
battery packs. The devices may be carried on a person's
belt, or may be mounted within or on a service vehicle,
for example, a forklift truck for use in warehouse
operations or a merchandise delivery route vehicle. The
communication devices are adapted to function as
communication relay devices between the host computer and
selected ones of the data terminals. Each communication
device includes a first type, low power transceiver to
communicate within a first channel and at a low power
transmission level with a selected number of the data
terminals which also feature such first type
transceivers. Each communication device further includes
a high power transceiver to communicate within a second
channel with the transceiver of the host computer. A
microprocessor operated address controller allows the
communication device to control low power communication
among the data terminals by receiving and re-transmitting
locally directed communications. The controller and the
controlling protocol further relays data messages between
the low power communication level and host computer. In
operation the device receives data messages on one of the
transceivers and transmits them on the other. The
communication device further may contain sufficient
memory capacity to permit periodic batch type data
transmission between the host computer and the
communication device. The ability to switch from a high
power, high precision and high cost transmission system
to a low power, low precision and low cost transmission 
system at the level at which a great number of data
terminal devices are used provides system flexibility at
a reasonable cost.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for a Multi-Function Peripheral (MFP) with an input and
output information terminal is provided. The MFP is configured with a storage device and an
input/output device. A user interacts with the input/output device to perform various tasks,
functions and applications. The storage device is configured to store data. A user may use an
MFP to clock in an out of work. The user may also use the MFP to check messages. A user
logs on the MFP by entering user identification data. The MFP then verifies the user
identification data. Once the user identification data has been verified, the user is logged on
the MFP. The user clocks in and a time data entry is stored on the storage device. If the user
clocks out, then another time data entry is also stored on the storage device. If there is a
message data for a user stored on the storage device, the MFP will display the message data
to the user on the input/output device. The MFP may be further configured with a remote
server, where the data may be stored in a remote storage device located in the remote server.
