Abstract: A device and a method are provided to automatically generate test case for embedded software. This invention is in software test field, including symbolic execution kernel module, path selection module, solver, debugger, concrete execution kernel module and debugger agent module. The tested software and test cases are uploaded from the host system to the embedded system through debugger and debugger agent. The concrete execution kernel module starts the tested software. The symbolic execution kernel module captures the run-time information of the tested software through the debugger. When the tested software operates on the symbol source, the symbolic execution kernel module marks the symbol source, tracks the symbol propagation, generates path condition and sends the path condition to path selection module. This invention can automatically generate test cases for embedded software, which doesn't need the source code of the tested software and can be conveniently used for commercial software.

Abstract: Techniques presented herein provide an approach for sharing folders and files across devices. In one embodiment, folder redirection is employed to permit a device running a virtual infrastructure (VDI) client which connects to a remote agent to access folders and files shared by other devices. To enable such folder redirection, a folder redirection management module generates, for each shared folder, a redirection mapping that associates an original folder path with a uniform naming convention (UNC) scheme. When a device attempts to launch a remote desktop in a remote agent using the same username as that associated with other devices that share folders/files, the folder redirection management module transmits redirection mappings for those devices to the remote agent and opens permissions of the corresponding UNC schemes, the remote agent mounts the shared folders as virtual drives, and the shared folders are then accessible through folder redirection based on the redirection mappings.

By collecting audio or video data corresponding to a spatial area, the collected data is processed respectively to acquire multiple streams of data distinguished by a collecting spatial area and corresponding collecting spatial information; the multiple streams of data are encoded, encoded multiple streams of audio data and the collecting spatial information are packed together, and/or encoded multiple streams of video data and the collecting spatial information are packed together, and a packet including multiple streams of audio or video data is sent, respectively. The present disclosure also discloses a method and system for playing media data in telepresence technology. With the methods and systems, it is possible to directly identify the corresponding collecting spatial area, i.e.

Abstract: Image scanning and encoding technologies can be utilized to authenticate devices to virtual desktops and to transfer virtual desktop sessions between devices. One device (e.g., PC or laptop) may encode certain information into an image that is displayed on a display screen, while another mobile device equipped with a digital camera (e.g., mobile phone or tablet) can be used to scan the image on the display screen. Once the image is scanned, it can be decoded by the mobile device to get the information encoded in the image (e.g., device ID, session ID, etc.). The information obtained from the image can be used to authenticate a device or to transfer a virtual desktop session between the devices.

Abstract: A personal area network (PAN) coordinator (26) of a medical body area network (MBAN) (36) allocates multi-periodic guaranteed time slots (GTSs) to sensor devices (12, 14) of the MBAN (36). The PAN coordinator (26) includes a controller (40) configured to receive a request for a multi-periodic GTS from a sensor device (12, 14) of the MBAN (36). The request includes a period indicating a periodicity with which the multi-periodic GTS is requested. In response to the request, the controller (40) determines a GTS allocation including a starting frame and transmits a descriptor to the sensor device (12, 14). The descriptor includes information to identify the starting frame.

Abstract: A first Virtual Device (VD) of a first member device connects to a first VD of a second member device via a stacking link that is established between the first member device and the second member device. A VD number of the first VD in the first member device is the same as that of the first VD in the second member device. When a unicast packet is received via a service port, the first VD of the first member device searches in a forwarding table of the first VD in the first member device. When the unicast packet is to be forwarded to another member device the search of the forwarding table, the first VD of the first member device forwards the unicast packet via the stacking link.
