  • Publication number: 20240086730
    Abstract: At least one processor identifies dependency relationships among libraries in a repository of libraries. Using the dependency relationships among libraries, at least one machine learning model can be created that predicts with a confidence value a dependency between a given library and a target library. An L layer tree-like graph can be created, using the dependency relationships among libraries and an application package. L can be configurable. Versions of the libraries to use can be determined by running the at least one machine learning model for each pair of nodes having a dependency relationship in the L layer tree-like graph, the at least one machine learning model identifying the dependency relationship with a confidence value, where pairs of nodes having largest confidence values are selected as the versions of the libraries to use in the application package.

  • Patent number: 9424744
    Abstract: A method for determining travel time of a vehicle on a road, wherein the vehicle is operable within a mobile communication network, comprising: collecting historical communication events of a mobile user in order to obtain travel samples, wherein the historical communication events indicate when the mobile user travelled along a monitored road; determining a cell handover sequence from the historical communication events; determining from the cell handover sequence, one of more road segments of the monitored road; determining the travel time of the one or more road segments according to the travel time samples; selecting, for an undetermined road segment of the monitored road for which the real-time travel time is not determined from the collected historical communication events, a candidate mobile user that is most likely to appear on the undetermined road segment; actively positioning the candidate mobile user to obtain positioning information; and returning to the step of collecting communication events of

  • Patent number: 9220094
    Abstract: A method for selecting a channel for an access point (AP) in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). The method includes the AP receiving network conditions of APs within the sensing range of a terminal sent by the terminal, and the AP selecting a channel based on the received network conditions. By forwarding the network conditions of other APs which can be detected by the terminal, the method of the present invention enables an AP to select a channel from the view of a terminal to avoid conflicts at the terminal, thereby improving the available bandwidth of the terminal, and giving a better experience to users.

  • Patent number: 8831559
    Abstract: A method and storage medium with instructions for identifying an association between a Smart Card and a mobile device by selecting card-swiping record pairs from a set of card-swiping records of the Smart Card, each including a card-swiping location and a corresponding card-swiping time; calculating overlap degree in time and location dimensions of the card-swiping record pair and the communication behavior record pair of the mobile phone, which is recorded in a mobile network as a communication log; determining that the card-swiping record pair overlaps with the communication behavior record pair of the mobile phone recorded in the communication log if the overlap degree is greater than a predetermined threshold, and determining that the Smart Card is associated with the mobile phone if each card-swiping record pair of the plurality of card-swiping record pairs overlaps with the communication behavior record pair of the mobile phone recorded in the communication log.

  • Patent number: 8566134
    Abstract: A travel information server estimates travel demand with mobility data. The server identifies activity types of users based, at least in part, on mobility data of the users. The mobility data has been collected over time and indicates at least locations and corresponding times at the locations. Travel information is generated with the mobility data for each of the activity types. The travel information for a first of the activity types is adjusted based, at least in part, on travel-related event data that corresponds to the first activity type to generate an adjusted travel information for the first activity type. The travel-related event data indicates an event that potentially influences travel for a short term. computing an estimated travel demand with a combination of the adjusted travel information for the first activity type and the travel information for at least a second of the activity types.
