Apparatus, system, and method for maintaining a persistent data state on a communications network

摘要

The present invention is an apparatus, system, and method for the improved tracking of a data state. The present invention allows session states to be maintained by sites that run on multiple, load-balanced servers. The present invention removes a single point of failure in a system, thus preventing all active sessions from being lost by providing persistent session data distributable across one or more machines over a communications network.

主权项

1. A processor-implemented method of persistent session state maintenance, comprising:
generating, via a processor, a user session including a unique user session identifier and a session storage suitable for storing user session state values; providing a web form containing a plurality of web form input elements suitable for rendering in a user browser; receiving an indication that a first web form input element has been updated and a first web form input value; updating the session storage using the first web form input value; receiving an indication that a second web form input element has been updated and a second web form input value, wherein the indication that the second web form input element has been updated is created without providing a second web form; and updating the session storage using the second web form input value.
