Abstract: A server-based car security service provides for image and position information to be provided to the server. The server uses the image information to make an authorization determination with respect to the current user. When the user is determined by the server to be an unauthorized user, the server alerts the owner or primary user of the car by sending the alert to a remote user device. The user device displays the image of the current user, and the owner has the opportunity to indicate whether the user is actually an unauthorized user or whether the determination at the server was a misrecognition error. When the user is unauthorized, the owner can request real-time monitoring of the car's position, and also the image inside the car, as well as an outside-of-the-car image.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for brokering a communication connection between a device and a push server for providing a push service irrespective of a protocol difference between the device and the push server, and a computer readable storage medium for executing the method. The method includes: authenticating a connection between at least one device and a brokering apparatus based on protocol information relating to the at least one device; and if data is received from the server when the at least one device is connected to the brokering apparatus, modifying the data received from the server based on a protocol relating to the at least one device, and transmitting the modified data to the at least one device, wherein the brokering apparatus performs the modifying.

Abstract: An apparatus, method, and system for searching for images and image-related information are described in which the image information search system includes: an image reproducing apparatus reproducing or capturing an image; and an image/information search server searching for image/information associated with the captured image.
