Abstract: A computing device obtains from a user a reference image of an individual depicting a desired cosmetic appearance through application of makeup products on the individual. The computing device obtains makeup products available to the user and identifies facial features of the individual. First looks among a collection of looks are identified based on attributes of the facial features of the individual. The computing device identifies reference makeup products based on the makeup effects applied in the first looks. The computing device identifies second looks among the first looks, the second looks having associated makeup products among the reference makeup products that closely match the makeup products available to the user. The computing device identifies compatible makeup products based on the makeup products associated with the second looks. The computing device obtains an image of the user and performs virtual application of the compatible makeup products on the user.

Abstract: A method for forwarding aggregated packets and a circuit system are provided. In the method performed by the circuit system, after receiving multiple data frames, the data frames are converted to data frames with a unified wireless local area network standard. The header of the data frames is inserted with de-aggregation information so as to form subframes. In the meantime, an aggregation circuit is used to aggregate the multiple subframes so as to form multiple aggregated frames according to aggregation rules. Afterwards, a reorder procedure is performed on the aggregated frames based on sequence numbers of the aggregated frames, and the duplicate frames are also marked for a subsequent de-aggregation procedure to ignore the duplicate frames. The reordered aggregated frames are then outputted to a second-layer forwarding procedure in sequence for generating the packets to be forwarded after the aggregated frames are de-aggregated.

Abstract: A method for behavior vectorization of information de-identification, through which data concerning browsing traces, link paths, trigger events, clicks, and operation behaviors of network users on the Internet are selected by a server, a client device, or an edge device for performing a conversion/integration process. Then, the integrated data are converted into a vector. The vector represents the profile of the usage behavior of the network users. Moreover, because vectors can be quickly grouped and classified to find similar groups, it can quickly identify the network users. The server uses the supervised learning method as the base method, and uses pre-defined network behaviors for training. Also, the semi-supervised learning method or the unsupervised learning method can be employed to modify undefined network behaviors to better conform to the profile description of the network users.
