Abstract
A system for facilitating data communications between a client and a server is provided. The system includes a server thread system that receives client logon data and a request packet. The server thread system maintains a client process while the client is logged on to the server that allows the state of client-server communications to be determined. The system also includes a process thread system that is connected to the server thread system. The process thread system receives process initiation data from the server thread system and initiates a process in response to the process initiation data.
Claims20
A system for communicating between a client and a server comprising:
- a server thread system receiving client logon data and a request packet and managing the client using a server thread process while the client is logged on to the server;
- and
- a process thread system coupled to the server thread system, the process thread system receiving the request packet from the server thread system and initiating a process thread process in response to the request packet.
A method for communicating between a client and a server comprising:
- initiating a server thread process when the client logs onto the server to manage the client connection to the server;
- and
- initiating a process thread process in response to a request packet, to manage the generation of a response packet in response to the request packet.
A method for communicating between a client and a server comprising:
- generating a request packet;
- initiating a synchronization thread process;
- transmitting the request packet to the server;
- receiving a response packet in response to the request packet;
- and
- terminating the synchronization thread process after receiving the request packet.
