Abstract: The techniques and mechanisms described herein are directed to controlling communication paths between conference members in a decentralized multi-party conference that supports a full mesh architecture. Several check points are tested in order to handle concurrency issues and to ensure quality of service. First, a check is made to determine whether any pending communication paths exist between the two systems. Second, a check is made to determine whether one of the systems is in the process of leaving the multi-party conference. Third, a check is made to determine whether a maximum number of conference members already exist in the conference. Upon failing any of these checks, the communication path between the two systems fails. Upon success, the new system initiates the joining process with each of the other members in the conference in order to maintain the full mesh architecture.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for providing route guidance and other information from a base unit to a remote unit in response to a request from the remote unit. A query is formatted at the remote unit, the query including the request, and is transmitted from the remote unit to the base unit. Requested route guidance information is calculated at the base unit in response to the query, using a large up-to-date database located at the base unit. A response to the query is formatted at the base unit, the response including route guidance information. The response is then transmitted from the base unit to the remote unit for display. The transmission is made in a compact form through the use of maneuver arms and combined maneuver arms and through the use of tokenized forms. A maneuver arm represents a road at an intersection, for depiction on a display, by one or two endpoint coordinates. The tokenized forms are expanded at the remote unit into textual driving instructions for each of one or more languages. In addition, the amount of information available at a remote unit can be increased by providing the remote unit with information from the base unit which is not adequately covered by any databases on-board the remote unit.
