About IZUMI
About IZUMI
Cranes in IzumiCranes in the Arasaki district of Izumi City are well known for their large number and variety. The Natural Treasure Conservation Act has designated this district as a national natural treasure and a wildlife protection area since March 3, 1921.
Furthermore, the district has been designated by Kagoshima Prefecture as a migration area of cranes and a special natural treasure since March 29, 1952. The designated area is approximately 245 hectares in size.
It is said that the Arasaki district of Izumi has been cranes' roost since the Genroku era (around 1695), which was a few decades after the Shimazu Domain completed the first reclamation of the district by drainage.
It seems that there were several migration places of cranes in Kyushu in the past. Presently, cranes fly to the Arasaki district of Izumi only. It is said that cranes fly southward to Korea from Siberia via China and then they pass Iki Island, the Nagasaki peninsula, and the Sea of Yatsushiro to arrive here. The sight of cranes dancing wildly in the sky is great.
Moreover, it is mysterious and breathtaking. In June 1996, the Environmental Agency selected the district as one of the 100 great sound scenes of Japan desired to be preserved.

Precautions for Crane WatchingCranes are timid. Please pay attention to the following precautions:
1. Do not enter the off-limits zone.
2. Do not throw stones or pieces of wood at cranes or make loud noise.
3. Cranes are afraid of lenses and glittering objects. Pay utmost attention when taking pictures.
4. Always follow the instructions of the staff in charge of crane protection.
Samurai residences in Fumoto
In the Edo period, Tsurumaru Castle was the main castle of the Satsuma
Domain in control of the area with administrative blocks called tojo made
in the territory.
|Takezoes' Residence
|Takemiyas' Residence
|Saishos' Residence
|The Takezoes were relatives of Sagara, who was the Lord of Tama Castle in Hitoyoshi in the Higo Domain. In 1637, they moved their residence from Komenotsu to Fumoto. Then they assumed key posts of Izumi Go(village), such as the post of group leader and atsukai(i.e., the highest political position of the village), for generation after generation. It is said that the building was constructed not before the beginning of the Meiji Era.
|The Takemiyas moved to Izumi in the Tensei Period (from1573 to 1592). Then they assumued the key posts of group leader and atsukai (i.e., the highest political position of the village), for generation after gereration. The residence is located next to Okariya, where an integral gate of Kamegajo Castle is situated. It is said that the present building was constraucted just before of early in the Meiji Era.
|The Saishos assumued the post of the highest political position of the
village for generation after generation after they moved from Kaseda in
1599. The present residence is presumed to have been constructed in the
late Edo period, and it is a typical high-class local mansion.
The outside is open to the public.

Tom Albrighton at abc copywriting has put up a well researched piece explaining all the faults he sees in crowdsourcing. Beyond the obvious "can we do the font from that one, the headline from that one, and the picture from that one?" thing we've all run into when we present three pieces to more than five people.
Thanks to social media and the web, the ritual of presenting options to the client has mutated into a monstrous and dangerous new form: completely crowdsourced creative.
Instead of badgering their creative agency into producing one good design and four pointless alternatives, the client can just go straight to 99 designs and get 500 rubbish designs to choose from – at a fraction of the cost.
Since the designers involved are paid little or nothing, their submissions are severely compromised in terms of commitment, time and ideas. So instead of buying one great idea, the client gets lots of weak ones through which they can enact their own taste and control-freakery. Crowdsourcing design means buying lots of rubbish little dogs and barking rubbishly yourself as well.
The mindset behind all this is puzzling. I guess we could sum it up something like this: 'I know I can't do this myself, so I need someone more creative to do it. And although I trust them to produce the ideas, I don't trust them to choose the best one – I've got to do that. And even though I wouldn't have any idea how to proceed when faced with a blank page, I'll know the right answer when I see it.'
Crowdsourcing in wikipedia, youtube, yelp = good. Crowdsourcing curated by an ad agency (a la Doritos) = so so
Crowdsourcing advertising by a client and crowsourcing logos for $50 bucks and "exposure" = shit
I took the Brent "waste messages survey" out of curiosity. Recycling in my area is in its 2nd overhaul and I have seen some bad advertising by the county. Does that make me an expert? Hell no! But I know what I would like to see on a postcard the county mails to me when they change their "message".
The Brent survey was quackery at best. Limited answers; true or false style. Improbable visuals; font mix, font color and a lack of graphics. I am not sure what the survey was trying to measure. Could it be they were just measuring the number of people who completed it. A painful exercise.
The ABC Copywriting article was enlightening. Thanks.

Dr. Ana Garner, professor of journalism and media studies, has been named the interim dean of the J. William and Mary Diederich College of Communication, Provost-elect Dan Myers announced today. She will assume the deanship from Dr. Lori Bergen, who recently accepted a new position at the University of Colorado – Boulder as founding dean of its new College of Media, Communication and Information.
Garner, who will begin in her role on July 1, previously served as interim dean from 2005-06. Prior to that, she was the college's associate dean for graduate studies and research. A member of the Diederich College of Communication faculty since 1992, her research and teaching interests are in the areas of cultural studies, popular culture, mass communication and visual communication.
Garner earned a bachelor's degree in sociology from Rutgers University, as well as a master's in journalism and a Ph.D. in mass communication from the University of Iowa.
"Dr. Garner combines a deep understanding of the college and an enthusiasm for its current momentum," Myers says. "That, coupled with the respect of her colleagues, makes her the ideal candidate to move the college forward while we search for the next permanent dean."
"I'm excited at the prospect of working with the faculty, staff and students of the Diederich College as we transition to our next chapter," Garner says. "Dean Bergen is leaving us a great foundation upon which to move forward in the future."
According to Myers, a search committee for the next dean will be announced next week.

Every week before the Patriots play a game, Tedy Bruschi and Mike Reiss dissect the action as part of "Bruschi's Breakdown." This week's piece is now posted on ESPNBoston.com, and Bruschi notes that this is the type of matchup that will prove if the Patriots' running game is for real.
"This is the exact reason why the Patriots have brought back the running game. You lose to the Giants in the Super Bowl last year. You lose to the Giants in the Super Bowl in 2007, and everyone says, 'There is no threat of a running game.' The front-four can just tee off on the offensive line, because they know you're going to throw it. They're going to get after Tom Brady because you're one-dimensional. All that has changed now," Bruschi writes.
"They're running the ball now and this is why. This type of matchup is why. The New York Giants pass rush is why you go back to this. The Seattle Seahawks defense is exactly why you go back to this. The Seahawks are at home, the crowd is going to be noisy, and right now in those meeting rooms the Seahawks' defensive front is licking its chops that they get to rush Tom Brady. By running the ball, the Patriots can slow down that pass rush and control the pace and tempo. You've got Stevan Ridley, you've got Brandon Bolden, you've got Danny Woodhead -- you can counteract their strength. This is what you've been working toward, and now let's see if it works against a strong front four that can get off the ball."
Bruschi also shares his thoughts on Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. He played under Carroll with the Patriots from 1997-1999.
"Pete Carroll's overwhelming theme is to compete. He wants everyone to compete for their job, to compete during practice, to live your life that way. I thought it was a great concept, and when looking at him with the Seahawks, I was wondering how that would play out with the quarterback position. They signed Matt Flynn in free agency and gave him a big contract, and then they added rookie Russell Wilson. Pete was saying it would be a competition, and when he named Wilson the starter, that was the proof in how much he believes in his philosophies," Bruschi writes.
"That's the same thing he did here. I felt that if he was given another year here, I thought he started to turn it around and was becoming a better head coach. I always liked him as a head coach. I respected the way he did things. I just thought he came in here in a tough situation, following Bill Parcells, and not only that, doing so after a Super Bowl appearance. A lot of players, as young as they were, were like 'There is only one way it should be done.' Pete was obviously not doing it that way and they didn't buy in, and I think that was a big problem for him."

More than 5 million teeth are avulsed each year; many during sports activities, resulting in nearly $500 million spent on replacing these teeth each year.1 In an issue of the Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA) it was reported that 13-39% of all dental injuries are sports-related, with 2-18% of the injuries related to the maxillofacial. Males are traumatized twice as often as females, with the maxillary central incisor being the most commonly injured tooth. Studies of orofacial injuries published over the last thirty years reflects various injury rates dependent on the sample size, the age of participants, and the specific sports.30-31 Even in football, a sport requiring protective gear, only about 75% of athletes are in compliance. In soccer, where rules are not uniform on wearing mouthguards, only 7% of the participants wear them.1 In baseball and softball, again only 7% wear mouth-guards. Recent studies show basketball had the highest injury rate with both male and female students due to hand or elbow contact or by collision with other players. The close contact of basketball players, as well as the speed of the game increases the potential for possible orofacial trauma.37 Currently, the National Federation of State High School Associations mandates mouthguards for only four sports: football, ice hockey, lacrosse, and field hockey.32 However, many high school and college administrators continue to support mandatory protective equipment relating to many more high school contact sports.29 It is evident from past research studies there is a need for more research on the topic of sports dentistry. There is also a need to educate communities of interest including more regulations for mouthguard use in sports.
In 1962, high school and collegiate football players were required to wear faceguards and mouth protectors during practice sessions and in competition. Several studies confirm that since this requirement, the percentage of orofacial injuries in football has dropped from approximately 50% to one-half of 1%, depending on the study cited.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a mouthguard for all children and youth participating in any organized sports activities. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends wearing a mouthguard for all of the following sports:
A study conducted on high school varsity basketball teams in Florida assessed the benefit of mouthguard use in sports other than football. It was found that 31% of surveyed Florida varsity basketball players sustained orofacial injuries during the season. 53% reported more than one injury during the season. Of the 1,020 players, fewer than half wore mouthguards and only 2 of these sustained oral injuries not requiring professional attention during the season.5 It was concluded by the authors that there is a high risk of orofacial injury competing in basketball without a mouthguard, which would increase a player's chance of orofacial injury almost sevenfold.6 Soporowski and others found that of all the injuries presented to dental offices, 62% occurred while the patient was participating in an unorganized sport. Children between the ages of seven and ten have the highest number of injuries (59.6%). Baseball had the most injury sites, 72 of 159 injuries, biking followed with 59, and hockey and basketball were third and fourth respectively.7 Another study was conducted with 3,411 athletes. The highest incidence of orofacial injury for the male athletes was noted in wrestling and basketball. For females, it was basketball and field hockey. None of the athletes who sustained an injury was wearing a mouthguard.4
A study conducted on high school athletes, in which researchers interviewed 2,470 junior and senior high school football players, showed 9% of all athletes sustained some form of orofacial injury with 3% reporting loss of consciousness. Fifty-six percent of all concussions and 75% of all orofacial injuries occurred while the athlete refrained from mouthguard protection.4 In Alabama, a study on 754 football players revealed that 52% of all orofacial injuries occurred in sports other than organized football. Basketball, baseball and unorganized football were a few of the sports which showed a high incidence of oral trauma and concussions when mouthguards were not used.4 Morrow and Kuebker conducted surveys in selected Texas high schools to determine the incidence of orofacial injuries on approximately 122,000 male and female athletes. They measured the types of mouthguards worn and dental injury experienced in football, and later indicated that soccer and basketball had higher dental injury rates than football. The number and nature of dental injuries experienced by male athletes showed that lip and tongue lacerations were the most frequently reported injuries. In addition, fourteen jaw fractures were reported with as many fractures in baseball and soccer as there were in football.8
All athletes constitute a population that is extremely susceptible to dental trauma. Dental injuries are the most common type of orofacial injury. An athlete has a 10% chance of receiving an orofacial injury every season of play. In addition, athletes have a 33-56% chance of receiving an orofacial injury during their playing career.

The bump is a High-Gain LiveTV radome. As Australia is quite a distance from the equator, it is harder to "see" the LiveTV satellites. To get a better "look" angle, the antenna needs to be rotated to a higher angle, hence the higher radome (actually, there are two antennas side-by-side in the dome). Connexion by Boeing ran into the same problem.
The JetBlue and Frontier domes are used closer to the equator and don't need to get the more extreme "look" angles, and hence are smaller.
I helped certify both installations...
|Quoting Jepstein (Reply 17):
Are the TV's still installed and working on the ex Song planes?
|Quoting AeroWeanie (Reply 19):
I helped certify both installations...
|Quoting BandA (Reply 21):
is there a site that lists carriers with LiveTV (domestic US as well as International) and specifically which aircraft?
|Quoting Vimanav (Reply 24):
You are probably best qualified to answer my question: I have heard that the entire system for live TV weighs close to 2 tons. Is that correct?
|Quoting Srbmod (Reply 27):
Virgin Blue
|Quoting Antares (Reply 34):
The truth is out there, and it must be different.
|Quoting Antares (Reply 34):
Australia is actually much closer to the equator than the US or Canada, Basic geography. Look at a globe. Those horizontal lines with numbers are latitude. Sydney is about as close to the equator as southern California or Florida, and anything north of Sydney even closer.
|Quoting Lredlefsen (Reply 35):
I wonder if this isn't an opportunity for Boeing to *uniquely* differentiate the 787 against all conventional metal-bodied competitors?
|Quoting AeroWeanie (Reply 41):
I'm told that the 787 will have a CBB dome built in from day one, though its not shown in any of the illustrations released so far. What goes inside the dome will be the airline's choice.
|Quoting Monteycarlos (Reply 8):
it better get more than just Channel 7, 9 and 10!
|Quoting ANCFlyer (Reply 3):
You can see similar "Lump" on this jetBlue A320
|Quoting JetBlueGuy2006 (Reply 44):
I wonder if it is more noticable because of the paint scheme. It seems that because Virgin Blue has Red, it draws more attention than a white scheme like on B6, DL or Westjet
|Quoting Starlionblue (Reply 45):
I do believe Captain Click once stated that while the dome does add drag, it also adds lift for some reason. So it's a wash.

(SIOUX CITY, IA) Sioux City police have been dealing with several important matters this week.They've expressed their opposition to a new set of guidelines on red light and speeding cameras proposed by the DOT.
The new IDOT proposal wants to implement stricter guidelines, a 6-part application and an annual report to determine if some of the state's largest cities can use traffic cameras.
Sioux City Police Chief Doug Young says that state officials are overreaching."They're not experts in law enforcement. They're experts in construction of highways-making us highway safe- but when it comes to enforcement, that's law enforcement's job and we need to figure out ways of doing it safely," said Young. City officials insist safety, not revenue, is the main reason they installed the cameras.
They point to I-29, where cameras help slow down traffic.
IDOT, however, says it makes the rules for highways and interstates. "The Department has a role. We have the primary role of oversight in an interstate and state role perspective and that includes anything that falls under safety and from my perspective it's important that we work together on those issues and if we disagree we should have a forum to work through some of that issue," said Director Paul Trombino. The director says the issue is about more than just safety, and that finances play a bigger role than cities admit.
When we broke down the numbers the city brings in about $6 million dollars through the speed cameras throughout I-29 and red light cameras at 11 intersections but if IDOT's proposals go through all that money could vanish.
If passed, the proposed changes would take place in February.
In the meantime, Sioux City Police say the traffic cameras on I-29 are temporary and will be removed once construction is finished on the highway.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/825,103 filed Sep. 8, 2006, which application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
1. The Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to wireless communication devices. In particular, embodiments of the invention relate to systems and methods for dynamically delivering targeted information from a device management service to a wireless mobile device using a bulletin system.
2. The Related Technology
As wireless consumer communication technologies implemented in mobile consumer devices such as satellite receivers, personal digital assistants, cell phones, etc., gain popularity across a broad spectrum of users, an ever increasing range of applications are being devised for implementation with such devices. As the devices become more popular and complex, there is an increased need for a service which can manage, control, and update the devices in an efficient way.
Typically, device management techniques require that devices perform specific processing commands when they receive them from the management service. Previously, such processing commands were distributed to all or the majority of the devices associated with the service, and involved only a limited exchange of dynamic information between the device and the management service. Because of the widespread distribution and general applicability of the processing commands, it was difficult for device management services to adequately and efficiently tailor processing commands to meet the requirements of each individual device.
For instance, two otherwise identical devices may be operating two different versions of a particular software application. Without a more targeted system designed to retrieve only the software updates required for each individual device, the devices would spend unnecessary time uploading content that was not required, and there would be more large data transfers to each individual device.
Conversely, in situations where there is a large group of devices requiring identical content or an identical service, there is a need for a content provider or a device management service that can efficiently notify and transfer the requisite data to the devices as a group.
Therefore, there is a need in the present art for more efficient means by which a content provider or device management service can provide targeted content to individual devices using an efficient bulletin system.
These and other limitations are overcome by embodiments of the present invention, which relate to systems and methods for delivering data from a device management service to electronic devices using a bulletin system. The device management service allows a bulletin that needs to be sent to devices to be specified. The bulletins can provide a mechanism to deliver arbitrary data from the device management service to a targeted set of devices.
Generally, a device management service creates a notice of an event, called a bulletin, that may include an action, a schedule of the appropriate time for the action to be processed, and/or a listing of all devices requiring the execution of the action. For example, a bulletin may be used for software updates, user alerts, promotions, and the like. Further, the bulletin can provide flexibility in identifying the devices that should receive or process the bulletin.
Each time a device is connected to the device management service, the device management service determines whether there are pending bulletins for the connected device, and then transmits the bulletin to the device. The device management service may also perform authentication of the device or user such that only needed bulletins are transmitted to the device.
Additional features of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by the practice of the invention. The features and advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the instruments and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims. These and other features of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the following description and appended claims, or may be learned by the practice of the invention as set forth hereinafter.
To further clarify the above and other advantages and features of the present invention, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof that are illustrated in the appended drawings. It is appreciated that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope. The invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings in which:
Embodiments of the invention relate to systems and methods for device management. More particularly, a device management service or server uses bulletins to provide various types of data or information to multiple devices of varying types. The bulletins can be dynamically targeted to the various devices.
Reference will now be made to the drawings to describe various aspects of exemplary embodiments of the invention. It is understood that the drawings are diagrammatic and schematic representations of such exemplary embodiments of the invention and, accordingly, are not limiting of the present invention nor are they necessarily drawn to scale.
Though described herein in connection with a mobile electronic device in the form of a WiFi-enabled personal music device, one of skill in the art, with the benefit of the present disclosure, will appreciate that embodiments of the invention can be practiced in conjunction with other devices that may include, but are not limited to, personal digital assistants, cellular telephones, personal audio devices, satellite radios, and the like or any combination thereof. Accordingly, the following discussion should not be construed to limit the present invention in any way.
Embodiments of the invention provide for a mobile electronic device that serves as a platform for the receipt and transmission of digital content. As used herein, "content" includes digital or analog audio/video/text data in various formats, images in various formats, data transmitted using or via satellite, cellular networks and other RF networks including 802.xx networks, the Internet and World Wide Web, and the like or any combination thereof.
One embodiment of the present invention includes a mobile electronic device implemented as an 802.11-enabled personal audio/video device that can receive content over a wireless network, one example of which is a "WiFi" network. The content can be delivered by various content providers. Embodiments of the invention can also dock with another device such as a computer for various reasons (e.g., altering stored content, synchronization, backup) and perform in a similar manner over the computer's connection.
The device 100 is a network connectable device. Thus, the device 100 may include a connection for accessing one or more wired and/or wireless networks. The device, for example, may include the ability to access multiple types of wireless networks, including 802.xx related networks (e.g., WiFi) and others using the antenna 118, which may be part of the connection. The device 100, in addition to 802.11 type networks, may have access to other radio frequency networks such as a cellular network, a satellite network, and/or terrestrial RF networks (e.g., WiMAX, AM, FM, DAB (digital audio broadcasting)). Further, the device 100 may have access to one or more hardwired networks.
The device 100, for example, may be able to access the Internet through a wireless access point (e.g., a WiFi hotspot). Once connected to the Internet, the device 100 may interact with multiple content providers. In one embodiment, the device 100 may access satellite broadcast content over the Internet rather than over a satellite network. The device 100 may also be able to access terrestrial radio broadcasts (digital radio, FM, AM, and the like). Further, the device 100 may also be able to receive and provide other media content, such as World Wide Web content, television content, video content and the like or any combination thereof.
In one example, the device 100 may be a wireless-enabled personal music device that can access media content through the Internet using wireless network connections including WiFi wireless connections. The user of the device 100 can access media content whenever the device 100 is within range of a wireless access point or whenever access to a network is present.
The device 100 further includes a processor 110, memory 112, and various modules 116. The modules 116 represent the software or computer executable instructions that, when processed, cause the device to access networks, download content, manage content, provide and control the user interface including the display 104, record media content, and the like or any combination thereof. The memory 112 may store media content from the user's library on another device or may store a library of media content that has been recorded or purchased over the wireless connection or that has been shared with the device 100 from another user.
Reference is now made to
In particular, the environment 200 shows example mobile electronic devices 220 that are connected to the DM service 210 or that can access the DM service 210. In particular,
As more fully described below, the DM service 210 utilizes a bulletin system to target specific devices for receipt of particular content. In
Upon receiving a request for additional content from the device 220A, the DM service 210 next transmits a request 212 based on the identified targetable characteristics of the device 220A to a bulletin database 230B to retrieve applicable bulletins, if any, requesting the desired content. The bulletin database 230B is indexed by device ID and targetable characteristics in one embodiment. Once identified, an applicable bulletin (or content specified in the bulletin) can be retrieved after retrieving the desired content from the bulletin database 230B. Then, the DM service 210 has the ability to send the device specific content in the form of a bulletin, indicated at 222, to the device 220A, which is performed as described below.
A second device 220B is also shown in
A third device 220C is shown in
Note that, while
Moreover, the devices 220 can be considered consumer, commercial, governmental, military, or other devices, having varying purposes of functionality.
Together with
The action corresponding to each bulletin may be, by way of example and not limitation, a software update, a promotional item (e.g., an advertisement), an alert (e.g., a message for the user), an asset update (e.g., a collection of assets that need to be updated on the device including graphics, media, and/or executables), a setting change (e.g., changes to the registry of the device), a user survey, or commands to be processed by the device. The schedule corresponding to each bulletin indicates the urgency with which the device needs to respond to the bulletin and the priority of the action.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the bulletin may include either an "Interrupt" or "Queue" priority indicating whether the bulletin should be processed immediately by the device, or added to a bulletin queue for later action based on a specified time validity range. Additionally, bulletins may be scheduled to become active in the DM service 210 during one time period and active in the device during another time period. For example, a bulletin may be downloaded when the device 220 has connectivity to the DM service 210 and processed at a later time.
As previously mentioned, each bulletin includes one or more targetable characteristics of devices requiring a specific action. According to one embodiment of the present invention, bulletins can be addressed, or targeted, to all devices, the collection of servers that is providing service to one or more devices (such collection referred to as a "pack"), a single device, a type of device, a set of device types (called a "device category"), or other group, by associating the device's identification number with each group, type, set, pack, category, etc. This association is accomplished in one embodiment by storing any groups, types, sets, packs, categories, and the like of a device in the device database 230A by device ID. By associating these groups, types, sets, packs, categories, etc. of devices (referred to herein as "targeting criteria" or "targetable characteristics") with particular bulletins, the DM service 210 may target bulletins to any number of devices, creating a more efficient way to manage a large number of devices. For example, by creating a group of devices that are currently running the same version of a particular software application, the DM service 210 may create a single bulletin associated with appropriate upgrades to all the devices in need of the software upgrade. Advantageously, the upgrades can be transmitted to/downloaded by only those devices within the group.
Furthermore, the DM service 210 may create a hierarchy of groups wherein larger groups of devices are themselves comprised of smaller groups of devices. As such, it is possible for a single device to be associated with any number of groups and for each device to be joined or removed from any group without affecting the device's association with any other group.
In any event, a particular bulletin (e.g., bulletin 222 or 226) is created at step 310. At stage 320, the bulletin can then be stored in the database 230B, which database may be examined at any time by the DM service 210 to determine if there are any necessary bulletins pending for a particular device (e.g., device 220A, 220B or 220C). In one embodiment, the bulletins are indexed in the database 230B by targetable characteristics specified in the bulletin. Thus, once the DM service 210 identifies the targetable characteristics of a particular device, these characteristics can be used to search the database 230B for any bulletins targeted to the device.
As shown in
After receiving the service request from the device, the DM service 210 then determines or identifies all targetable characteristics of the device at stage 340. This may comprise, for example, using the device ID received in the service request to query the device database 230A for all targetable characteristics of the device.
The identified targetable characteristics of the device (including the device ID) and the high-water mark can be used at stage 350 to search the bulletin database 230B for applicable bulletins, if any. For instance, if a particular bulletin has a higher number than the high-water mark from the service request, but it is not targeted to any of the device's identified targetable characteristics, then the bulletin will not be transmitted to the device. Similarly, if a particular bulletin is targeted to one or more of the device's identified targetable characteristics but is of a lower number than the high-water mark, the bulletin is not transmitted to the device.
However, if a particular bulletin has a higher number than the high-water mark and is targeted to one or more of the device's identified targetable characteristics, the DM service can transmit the bulletin to the device at stage 360. The content associated with the bulletin and/or included in the bulletin can then be handled by the device 220A as described above. As mentioned above, restrictions may be placed on the bulletins, such as a time limit for execution of the associated action, etc. Additionally, the DM service may also stop the execution of currently-active or scheduled bulletins that have already been retrieved by the device.
In some embodiments, the bulletin may not be transmitted to the device until after various communications are exchanged between the device and the DM service, as described below with respect to
Another feature of the present invention is the ability to create dependencies within the bulletin system. This is useful when a bulletin requires the execution or completion of a previous bulletin before the latest bulletin can be processed. For example, a bulletin associated with a change in a device's registry may only be relevant if a certain software upgrade has previously been applied. Thus, according to embodiments of the invention, a dependent bulletin may have one or more dependencies, each requiring execution before the dependent bulletin may be processed. Advantageously, embodiments of the invention can ensure that devices are updated in a common manner and ensure that updates, alerts, etc., are processed in a particular order.
Enforcing the order of processing bulletins can be accomplished, in one embodiment, by notifying a device of one or more dependencies while transmitting a dependent bulletin. The device can then request and process the one or more dependencies in the order specified in the notification, prior to processing the dependent bulletin. Alternately or additionally, the order of processing bulletins can be enforced entirely by the DM service 210. In this case, the DM service transmits dependent bulletins to the device only after the device indicates that the one or more dependencies have been processed.
The DM service may use the high-water marking system to construct a "smart bulletin" which will include all available and targeted actions pending for the device. For example, if the targeted action includes a software update, the DM service can analyze pending bulletins relating to the specific device's software and transmit data relating only to the most relevant versions of software for a device after having first received a service request that identifies the versions of software currently running on the device. In other words, the DM service can dynamically modify a bulletin to include or ignore software components. For example, if the device already has a particular version of an application, then the DM service may exclude that component from the bulletin for that device. If there are multiple software upgrade bulletins for a device, the most recent and targeted components can be constructed into a dynamic bulletin for that device. For example, the DM service may create a bulletin containing only the URL references to the software components that are necessary to bring the device up to date. Advantageously, this reduces interactions to the DM service and reduces the number of large downloads to a device. Additionally, this method can be utilized to create a device recovery mechanism for restoring corrupted software. For example, a device owner may contact a customer service representative who then creates a bulletin for the corrupted device that contains URL references to software components required to replace the corrupted processes.
Similarly, another embodiment of the invention includes the ability to create "sync bulletins" for use when the DM service initially associates a device with a group. In such scenarios, it is important that the newly added device has access to all bulletins previously sent to the group. Thus, when a device is added to a particular group, pack, or set, the DM service can construct a sync bulletin that includes dependencies to all bulletins that the DM service previously sent to the group, pack, or set. These dependencies enable the newly-added device to process all relevant bulletins previously sent to members of the group that the device has not previously processed in order to ensure that the device is in-sync with each of the other devices in the group, pack, or set.
Together with
At stage 410 the portable electronic device 220A, which is connected to the DM service 210, sends a service request 410, which includes a listing of the highest-numbered received bulletin, which in this example is "Bulletin: 0," to the DM service 210. The numbering may indicate that the device has not yet received any bulletins from the DM service 210 or it may simply be the latest high water mark. The service request additionally includes a device ID of the device 220A.
At stage 420, the DM service responds to the communication received during stage 410 by running a query of the device database 230A (to identify targetable characteristics of device 220A) and then a query of currently available bulletins in the bulletin database 230B to determine if there are any outstanding bulletins for the device 220A. Upon determining that there are pending bulletins for the device, the DM service 210 sends a communication indicating that there is a bulletin, "Bulletin: 1", pending for the device.
At stage 430, the device 220A requests the bulletin ("Bulletin 1"). The request, as described above, may be for the bulletin 1 which includes the payload or data needed by the device 220A (e.g., changes to the device's settings), or conversely the bulletin may include URL references to locations where the data is located (e.g. references to software components needed to complete a software upgrade). At stage 440, the DM service 210 sends the requested data, and determines that the device 220A needs an additional bulletin ("Bulletin: 7") and sends a communication to the device 220A indicating that "Bulletin 7" is pending for the device.
At stage 450, the device 220A sends a request for the latest bulletin 7 with a header indicating that the highest-numbered bulletin processed by the device 220A was "Bulletin: 1." At stage 460, the DM service 210 responds to this communication by transmitting the data associated with "Bulletin: 7."
Generally stated, a device connects with a DM service and through a service request, provides the high water mark number or identifier that identifies the bulletins received by the device. The DM service 210 also identifies a device ID from the service request. Using this information (e.g., high-water mark and device ID), the DM service 210 can respond with the next bulletin that is targeted to the device. At this point, the device can then request those bulletins and process them. Alternatively, the DM service can send a bulletin that includes the needed data immediately after receiving the service request without first identifying the available bulletins for the device and waiting for the device to request the identified bulletins. The device can then update the high water mark identifier and repeat this process to identify any bulletins that are intended for the device and that have not been processed.
Together with
After the DM service joins the device, say 220B, to a pack or group of devices which have previously received a series of bulletins, the DM service creates a sync bulletin with dependencies to all relevant bulletins previously sent to members of the group. At step 610, the device 220B is connected to the DM service 210. The device 220B sends a service request including the device's identification number and the highest-previously processed bulletin number, shown here as "Bulletin: 8." In this example, "Bulletin: 8" is chosen as an arbitrary number and may represent any bulletin number or may indicate that the device 220B has not yet received any bulletins from the DM service 210.
At stage 620, the DM service 210 responds to the device 220B by communicating that there is a pending bulletin, shown here as "Bulletin: 12," pending for the device.
In response, at stage 630, the device 220B requests bulletin 12. At stage 640, the DM service 210 sends the requested bulletin which includes a notification that bulletin 12 has dependencies to bulletins 10 and 11, shown in
At stage 650 the device 220B requests the first dependency ("Bulletin 10") per the notification, the request indicating a new high-water mark corresponding to Bulletin 12. At stage 660, the DM service 210 sends the requested data.
At stage 670, the device 220B sends a request for the bulletin 11, the request indicating the high-water mark corresponding to Bulletin 12. At stage 680, the DM service 210 responds to this communication by transmitting the data associated with "Bulletin: 11" to the device 220B. In this manner, a device joined to a pack or group can receive all necessary bulletins so as to be up to date with other devices in the same pack or group.
According to the embodiment of
The following example illustrates bulletins used when a device switches groups, for example. At any point in time the Service database contains bulletins that are targeted to devices by: a) Device Category; b) Device Type; c) Device ID (i.e. list of exact device IDs or radio IDs); and/or d) Device Group (a device can be added to a group by some arbitrary relationship, e.g. Beta testers). When a device is added to a group or changes groups or is moved to another pack, etc., a "Group Sync" bulletin is created.
The Group Sync bulletin may include a list of dependencies, where the dependencies are all active bulletins that have been specifically targeted to the group that the device is being associated with. The Group Sync bulletin is put on the Service's bulletin queue with all of the other active bulletins. During the normal flow of bulletin processing, the device will eventually be told about and then request the Group Sync bulletin.
When the device sees that this bulletin contains dependencies, it is the device's responsibility, in one embodiment, to request each of those dependent bulletins and process them. If the device has already processed one of the dependencies, then the dependency is considered "resolved" and the other dependencies are examined. The device typically does not consider the "Group Sync" bulletin complete until all of the dependencies have been resolved.
For example, suppose the Service bulletin database includes the following bulletins:
Bulletin ID/Sequence
Group A
Group A
Group B
At this point, assume Device X is in Group B and has already been communicating with the Service. The device will have processed its bulletins and will be up to high-water sequence number 3. So, with every request to the service the device will indicate that the last bulletin it has processed is "3". It uses the Bulletin request header for this. Device X has never known about the existence of bulletins #1 or #2.
Now suppose the device is associated to Group A. By doing so, a Group Sync bulletin is automatically created by the DM service and the bulletin database would include the following:
Bulletin ID/Sequence
Group A
Group A
Group B
Group A
1, 2
The next time Device X makes a request to the Service, the Service will indicate through a response header that bulletin #4 is pending for the device. The device requests bulletin #4 and sees that it has a dependency on #1 and #2. The device has no record of those bulletins so it requests and processes each of those bulletins. Once those dependent bulletins have been processed bulletin #4 can be considered complete and now the device will send #4 as the high-water mark for processed bulletins.
The above description relating to methods of delivering data from a device management service to an electronic device using a bulletin system is meant to be illustrative of the principles of the present invention, and it is appreciated that various modifications may be made to the embodiments while still remaining in accordance with the principles of the present invention. With that in mind, various aspects of the invention will be described with respect to the following three examples.
While using a device it may become useful or necessary to alert the user or the device of events through the use of bulletins. These bulletins can be initiated by a service-side application such as a survey or could be part of system maintenance. This example describes the class of bulletins, what level of user interaction is required, how bulletins can be triggered or scheduled, etc.
Bulletin Manager: A bulletin manager or device management service allows an administrator, partner or customer service representative to specify a bulletin that needs to be sent to devices. A bulletin consists of an action, a schedule, and target devices. The device management service receives user input creating the bulletin and stores the bulletin in a database (e.g., a bulletin database). Upon receiving a service request, a service response mechanism of the device management service queries the database to determine if there are any necessary bulletins that a particular device needs to know about.
The priority of a bulletin indicates how the device responds. There may be an interrupt mode which requires the device to stop what it is doing and execute the bulletin. There may also be a queue mode where the device can execute the bulletin later. The action of a bulletin indicates what it is that the device needs to do; update firmware, notify the user, change some settings, etc. The schedule of the bulletin indicates the urgency with which the device needs to respond and when it should present the information to the user including:
Bulletin Types: Examples of 6 types of bulletins that can be delivered to a device:
Bulletin Targeting: When a device communicates to the service it will meet certain targeting criteria, which is used to target bulletins. As used herein, "targeting criteria" and "targetable characteristics" may be used interchangeably. The following targeting criteria may be associated to a bulletin:
Service Response Header: On every request the device makes to the service a proprietary header is included indicating the highest numbered bulletin a device received. The service will take this high-water mark into account in determining if there is a bulletin pending for the device. A special header is returned by the service on every response to the device when there is a bulletin pending for the device.
Dependencies: A bulletin may need to depend on the execution and completion of a previous bulletin before it can be processed. For instance, a change to the registry may only be relevant if a certain software upgrade has been applied. A bulletin can include one or more bulletins as dependents. The device's responsibility is to ensure that a bulletin has been fetched, executed and completed before any dependent bulletins can start processing.
Syncing Targeted Bulletins: A device can be moved from group to group and between packs. This can result in a device that was recently added to a group or migrated to a pack to miss bulletins or to be out of sequence with dependencies. Thus, when a device's group is switched or when it is migrated to a different pack, a "Sync" bulletin can be created that includes dependencies on all bulletins that are targeted to the group or pack. This enables the device to retrieve and process those dependent bulletins and hence be re-synched with the current active bulletins.
Smart Software Updates: A service can have more than one software update pending for a device. In order to limit the number of times the device has to retrieve software and execute the upgrade process, the service can construct a "Smart Update" which includes available and targeted components for the device which are newer than the versions of software the device is currently running. As mentioned above, the device's software versions can be communicated to the service in the device's service requests. The service uses the current running versions of software that the device reports to go through the active bulletins that are targeted to the particular device and determine the most relevant versions of software for a device.
Device Responsibilities:
In another embodiment, the protocol used to update a device or a group of devices often begins when a device issues a get request (Device.Get( )). The service responds with a bulletin (Service.Response( )). To ensure that the bulletin is properly processed, the device may acknowledge that it has received the response or bulletin (Device.ACK( )). The device acknowledgement ensures that the device acknowledges that it has received the bulletin or the response from the server. In some instances, the acknowledgement may also indicate that the device has properly processed the bulletin. If the processing of the bulletin is not successful or is delivered, for example, to the wrong device, then a non-acknowledgement (NACK) can be sent. For example, a NACK may be generated if the device determines that the checksum is wrong or there is a failure at any stage of the communication.
One embodiment of the schema used to deliver bulletins is as follows: Device.GetBulletin (lastReceivedBulletinID); Service. SendBulletin(ID,payload); Service. SendBulletin(ID,<sync>); and the device may then perform Device.ProcessBulletin(ID). In one embodiment, the device may then issue Device.GetBulletin(lastReceivedBulletinID, lastProcessedBulletinID), where lastProcessedBulletinID is the ID of the <sync>. This ensures that the service knows that the <sync> has been processed in one embodiment.
Generally, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various features of the invention may be practiced alone or in network environments with many types of computer system configurations, including media players, satellite radio receivers, FM transmitters or receivers, DAB transmitters or receivers, personal computers, hand-held devices, multi-processor systems, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, and the like. Aspects of the invention may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by local and remote processing devices that are linked (either by hardwired links, wireless links, or by a combination of hardwired and wireless links) through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
Embodiments of the invention may include computer-readable media for carrying or having computer-executable instructions or data structures stored thereon. Such computer-readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by a portable device or general purpose or special purpose computer. By way of example, and not limitation, such computer-readable media can comprise RAM, ROM, EEPROM, CD-ROM or other optical disk storage, magnetic disk or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium, including solid state storage, which can be used to carry or store desired program code means in the form of computer executable instructions or data structures and which can be accessed by a portable device or general purpose or special purpose computer. When information is transferred or provided over a network or another communications connection (either hardwired, wireless, or a combination of hardwired and wireless) to a computer, the computer properly views the connection as a computer-readable medium. Thus, any such connection is properly termed a computer-readable medium. Combinations of the above should also be included within the scope of computer-readable media. Computer-executable instructions comprise, for example, instructions and data which cause a general purpose computer, special purpose computer, or special purpose processing device to perform a certain function or group of functions.
Although not required, the invention may be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, being processed by computers in network environments. Generally, program modules include acts, routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Computer-executable instructions, associated data structures, and program modules represent examples of the program code means for executing acts of the methods disclosed herein. The particular sequence of such executable instructions or associated data structures represents examples of corresponding acts for implementing the functions described in such acts.
The device may also include a magnetic hard disk drive for reading from and writing to a magnetic hard disk, a magnetic disk drive for reading from or writing to a removable magnetic disk, or an optical disk drive for reading from or writing to removable optical disk such as CD-ROM or other optical media. The device may also include non-volatile memory including flash memory. The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of computer-executable instructions, data structures, program modules and other data. Although the example environment described herein may employ a magnetic hard disk, a removable magnetic disk and/or a removable optical disk, other types of computer readable media for storing data can be used, including magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, digital versatile disks, Bernoulli cartridges, RAMs, ROMs, and the like.
Program code means comprising one or more program modules may be stored on the hard disk, magnetic disk, optical disk, ROM or RAM, including an operating system, one or more application programs, other program modules, and program data. A user may enter commands and information through a keyboard, pointing device, or other input devices (not shown), such as a microphone, joy stick, touch pad, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit through a universal serial bus (USB) or serial port interface coupled to system bus. Alternatively, the input devices may be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, or a game port. A display device is also connected to system bus via an interface, such as a video adaptor.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative, not restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description. All changes that come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.

The third studio on our 'A Day in the Life of' is from Bandun, Indonesia. Meet the entire team and drool over their awesome lunch :)
We are Kampoong Monster Studios. We are located on a lovely city called Bandung, the weather is cold in the morning and the city has lots of trees. Bandung cultural environment helps creative industry like us to grow faster. So many talented people here that we could cooperate with, one of them is Cimahi Creative Association. They had lots of talented Blender Students. Sometimes we go there to share knowledge with them. It's fun.
Our Studio is now being incubated with a program called Indigo Incubator. It's a program by Telkom Indonesia to support digital creative talents in Indonesia. The program located at Bandung Digital Valley', a working space in Bandung where all digital creative meets. One of the benefit for being there is, we meet people from different businesses. Most of them is not CG Artist, so they often asking question and saying how cool Blender is.
When it comes to Blender, we usually use it for PSA (public services announcement) project. Also our latest animation series is using Blender. The title is Vienetta Negeri Terakhir (Rise of Nuswantara) . Some of the Blenderheads on this project are Aditia A. Pratama, Bintang Senja and Johan Tri Handoyo (OHA Studios). They are obsessed with Blender :D
