Abstract
A mobile hub is proposed, the mobile hub includes a circular buffer for storing events, a timer for monitoring the storage period of an event stored in the buffer, and an event manager designed for discarding an event from the buffer when a time-out of the associated timer is exceeded. As no event can block the buffer any more a small-scale buffer can be used for the mobile hub.
Claims27
A mobile hub comprising:
- a circular buffer configured to store events;
- a timer configured to monitor the storage period of an event stored in the buffer:
- and
- an event manager configured to discard an event from the buffer when a time-out of the associated timer is exceeded.
1 more element
A method for managing events in a mobile hub, the method comprising:
- storing an event in a circular buffer;
- monitoring a storage period of the stored event;
- and
- discarding the event from the buffer when the storage period exceeds a time-out.
1 more element
A computer program product embodied in a tangible media comprising:
- computer readable program codes coupled to the tangible media for managing events in a mobile hub, the computer readable program codes configured to cause the program to:
