In some embodiments, systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided herein useful for managing a plurality of concurrent and nearly concurrent data requests within a computer system. The systems have a main data storage for storing source data, and a high speed, and/or remote data storage for storing computed data. In some embodiments, a combination of data filters and distributed mutex processes are used to eliminate or limit duplicate reads and writes into the high speed data storage units by ensuring only a single service module gets a lock to do the read and update of the cache; and makes it possible for keys to expire and be removed from the data filter. The systems and methods herein have various applications including retail sales environments where the requested data is related to product sales, product availability and the like.

Systems and methods for managing concurrent data requests

Presented is a method and apparatus for selectively using a local area network and a wide area network in a hybrid network system. A mobile unit receives information, for example positioning information from Global Positioning System satellites. Upon receiving information, the mobile unit associates the information with either a WAN category or a LAN category. Information in the WAN category are transmitted to a WAN computer via a wide area network and information in the LAN category is transmitted to a LAN computer via a local area network. A user may specify which network he wants to use. Alternatively, the mobile unit may be programmed with criteria by which it can categorize the received information. The WAN computer and the LAN computer may be coupled, allowing a user to access the LAN computer via the WAN or the WAN computer via the LAN.
