Method of controlling network system
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a network system comprising a monitoring computer working with a computer employing a battery as a power source over the network, the method comprising:
- detecting remaining battery power of the battery;
transmitting power information based on the remaining battery power to the monitoring computer; and
indicating the power information in the monitoring computer.

Abstract
Monitoring a connection with a network system by informing a monitoring computer working with another computer on the network of a predictable network disconnection event. For example, when employing a battery as a power source to the other computer, a remaining battery power of the battery is detected and power information based on the detected remaining battery power is transmitted to the monitoring computer. The monitoring computer indicates the received power information, thereby allowing the monitoring computer to prepare against such sudden predictable network disconnection.

16. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a client computing device; and
a host computer in a network communication with the client computing device and comprising a programmed computer processor controlling the host computer according to a process comprising;
determining a predictable network disconnection event based upon processing environment of the host computer, and informing the client computing device of the predictable network disconnection event, thereby allowing the client computing device to countermeasure the predictable network disconnection event. - View Dependent Claims (17)
