Abstract
Abstract A system for transparent recovery from a communications disruption during transmission of a data stream from a source computer to a destination computer is implemented in a method including the steps of determining a portion of the data stream that was successfully received by the destination computer and resuming the transmission from a point in the data stream immediately after the successfully received portion.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
254 words
A system for recovering from disruption of a transmission of a data stream from a network server to a client device, said system comprising: a proxy device arranged between the client device and the network server, the proxy device being configured to receive all traffic between the client device and the network server; a first executable module coupled to the client device; a second executable module coupled to the proxy device, said first executable module and said second executable module being in communication with one another; said first executable module comprising instructions for selectively disrupting transmission of a data stream from said network server to said client device in response to a user request and for automatically resuming said transmission at a user-selected later time, said instructions for automatically resuming said transmission including instructions for generating a request to said second executable module to resume transmission of the data stream from said network server to said client device at the user-selected later time, wherein said request includes an indicator corresponding to a portion of the data stream that was previously received by said client device; and said second executable module comprising instructions for determining the portion of the data stream that was previously received by said client device, selectively retrieving some or all of a remaining portion of the data stream from the network server; and resuming transmission of the data stream from the proxy device to the client device beginning from a point in said data stream immediately following said previously received portion.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
254 words
A system for recovering from disruption of a transmission of a data stream from a network server to a client device, said system comprising: a proxy device arranged between the client device and the network server, the proxy device being configured to receive all traffic between the client device and the network server; a first executable module coupled to the client device; a second executable module coupled to the proxy device, said first executable module and said second executable module being in communication with one another; said first executable module comprising instructions for selectively disrupting transmission of a data stream from said network server to said client device in response to a user request and for automatically resuming said transmission at a user-selected later time, said instructions for automatically resuming said transmission including instructions for generating a request to said second executable module to resume transmission of the data stream from said network server to said client device at the user-selected later time, wherein said request includes an indicator corresponding to a portion of the data stream that was previously received by said client device; and said second executable module comprising instructions for determining the portion of the data stream that was previously received by said client device, selectively retrieving some or all of a remaining portion of the data stream from the network server; and resuming transmission of the data stream from the proxy device to the client device beginning from a point in said data stream immediately following said previously received portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The system of claim 1 , wherein the client device includes a browser, said first executable module comprising a component of said browser.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The system of claim 1 , wherein the client device includes a browser, said first executable module being coupled to said browser.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The system of claim 3 , wherein said first executable module further comprises a local proxy.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
The system of claim 1 , wherein said first executable module further comprises instructions for enabling a user of said client device to indicate the later time for resuming said transmission.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
The system of claim 5 , wherein said instructions for enabling the user to indicate the later time compromise instructions for presenting the user with a dialog box.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
The system of claim 1 , wherein said first executable module further comprises instructions for enabling a user of said client device to initiate said resumption of the transmission on demand.
