  • Publication number: 20160379136
    Abstract: An aspect computing device may be configured to perform program analysis operation in response to classifying a behavior as non-benign. The program analysis operation may identify new sequences of API calls or activity patterns that are associated with the identified non-benign behaviors. The computing device may learn new behavior features based on the program analysis operation or update existing behavior features based on the program analysis operation. For example, API sequences observed to occur when a non-benign behavior is recognized may be added to behavior features observed during program analysis operation.

  • Publication number: 20160379679
    Abstract: Example techniques may involve managing playback of media content by a playback device. In an example implementation, a playback device receives, from a media service provider, a first media item for playback. The playback device identifies one or more user accounts currently interfacing with the playback device. The playback device transmits, to a media system server, a first message indicating (i) the first media item and (ii) the identified one or more user accounts. After transmitting the first message, the playback device receives, from the media system server, a second message indicating that the first media item is not to be played by the playback device. Responsive to the second message, the playback device transmits, to the media service provider, a request for a second media item. The playback device plays the second media item via one or more speakers.
