  • Publication number: 20200145380
    Abstract: A first correspondence table in a terminal device stores a first correspondence between an identifier of a process running on the terminal device and an identifier of a data stream created by the process. A second correspondence table stores a second correspondence between an identifier of an application and an identifier of a process created by the application. The terminal device receives an identifier of a first data stream from a network security device, finds, in the first correspondence table, a first record where the identifier of the first data stream is stored to obtain an identifier of a process in the first record, finds, in the second correspondence table, a second record where the identifier of the process in the first record is stored to obtain an identifier of an application from the second record, and sends the identifier of the application to the network security device.

  • Patent number: 10635644
    Abstract: A control node of a multi-tenant stream processing service receives a request indicating an operation to be performed on data records of a particular data stream. Based on a stream partitioning policy, the control node determines an initial number of worker nodes to be used. The control node configures a worker node to perform the operation on received records. In response to a determination that the worker node is in an unhealthy state, the control node configures a replacement worker node.

  • Patent number: 10628519
    Abstract: Systems and methods that efficiently and effectively generate an enhanced document image of a displayed document in an image frame captured from a live image feed are disclosed. For example, systems and methods described herein apply a document enhancement process to a displayed document in an image frame that result in an enhanced document image that is cropped, rectified, un-shadowed, and with dark text against a mostly white background. Additionally, systems and method described herein determine whether a stored digital content item includes a displayed document. In response to determining that a stored digital content item does include a displayed document, systems and methods described herein generate an enhanced document image of a displayed document included in the stored digital content item.

  • Patent number: 10505791
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to technology handling events in a distributed computing environment. Events comprising a function executable by an instance are received from an event queue. The received events are mapped to an instance in a pool that executes a corresponding function. When it is determined that the instances in the pool are at least one of unavailable and do not include the function corresponding to the event, a new instance is created in the pool, where the new instance includes the function corresponding to the event. Instances in the pool may be terminated when frequency of occurrence patterns of the event with a corresponding function indicate the event is occurring less frequently such that fewer instances are required to execute the corresponding function. Otherwise, the events are dispatched to the appropriate instance in the pool for execution.

  • Patent number: 10225246
    Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention disclose a certificate acquiring method and device. A virtualized network function manager (VNFM) receives a certificate application proxy message sent by a virtualized network function (VNF) instance. The VNFM uses the authentication information to authenticate the VNF instance, and when the authentication succeeds, sends a certificate application message to a certificate authority (CA). Then the VNFM receives a certificate issued by the CA, and sends the certificate to the VNF instance. In this way, through a trusted link between the VNFM and the certificate authority, the instantiated VNF instance applies for a certificate issued by the certificate authority, thereby effectively ensuring security of a management channel between the VNF instance and the VNFM.
