Title: Maintaining consistent network connections while moving through wireless networks
Inventor: KANT NISHI
IPC: H04W84/04
Filed: 2005-11-18
Abstract: A proxy server (208) provides an anchor point for access network changes in a wireless environment. One example embodiment uses the concept of proxy server in order to preserve a uniform connectivity to a gateway service node while roaming across different networks through a handover mechanism. In one embodiment, the client connects to a proxy server through one access network (204), and the proxy server manages and keeps track of the user session toward the gateway service node. The client then connects to any packet service network, including Internet, through the proxy. When the client moves from one network to another, it indicates the change to the proxy and proxy, using a handover mechanism, switches the access network while maintaining the user session toward the gateway service node. The handover mechanism involved is efficient, with minimal messaging overhead, and preserves the application layer IP address of the client. Therefore, the data connections do not suffer from interruptions due to roaming through different networks and the service is seamlessly continued.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé d'élaboration de tarifs de voyage effectifs, sur ordinateur, à partir de bases de données tarifaires. On élabore un graphe de noeuds représentant des destinations de voyage et qui comprend des paires de connexion d'extrémités de noeuds. Chaque extrémité fait référence à un tarif de voyage plancher. On élabore également un arbre tarifaire pour chaque extrémité de graphe. Des arbres comprennent au moins un noeud racine comportant le tarif de voyage plancher de l'extrémité de graphe correspondante. Les arbres comprennent éventuellement davantage de noeuds comportant une clé contexte et un tarif de voyage associé. Des arbres sont organisés de manière à disposer de noeuds secondaires présentant un tarif de voyage égal à ou supérieur au tarif de voyage d'un noeud principal. De cette manière, il est possible d'extraire plus efficacement des chemins tarifaires moins coûteux, dans la mesure où les extrémités de graphe, contenues dans les chemins tarifaires, font référence aux arbres tarifaires associés et sont parcourus dans l'ordre ascendant de leurs valeurs tarifaires plancher. On utilise une entité d'apprentissage pour élaborer et mettre à jour les arbres tarifaires. Ladite entité collecte ses données à partir de processus visant à élaborer des propositions de voyage destinées à des utilisateurs finaux. Un système mettant en oeuvre le procédé d'extraction de chemins tarifaires selon l'invention est conçu pour pouvoir gérer de nombreuses destinations dans le temps d'une transaction informatique, et peut ainsi proposer des options de voyage thématiques à des utilisateurs finaux qui n'ont pas besoin de choisir une destination particulière pour commencer à planifier un voyage.
