Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a weighing method of a touchscreen terminal, and a touchscreen terminal. When a to-be-weighed object is placed in a preset area of a touchscreen of a touchscreen terminal, a reported first capacitance value and reported coordinates of a compensation point are obtained. The first capacitance value is compensated according to a compensation relationship, the coordinates of the compensation point, and the first capacitance value to obtain a second capacitance value. In this way, no additional external structure is needed for the touchscreen terminal, making the touchscreen terminal convenient to carry.

Abstract: In a video quality assessment method, an assessment model is first generated based on a subjective assessment result of a user on each sample in a sample set and based on a parameter set (a parameter type in the parameter set may include at least one of a packet loss rate, a delay, and a jitter) of each sample. Therefore, when video quality is being assessed, a parameter set of a to-be-assessed video is obtained first, where the parameter set of the to-be-assessed video has a same parameter type as the parameter set of each sample that is used to generate the assessment model; and then video quality of the to-be-assessed video is assessed based on the assessment model and the parameter set of the to-be-assessed video, to obtain an assessment result.

Abstract: The application discloses a method and a system for information synchronization between cloud storage gateways and a cloud storage gateway, to resolve a problem that an address obtained by a cloud storage gateway is usually a dynamic address or even a private address, and it is difficult to perform direct communication and impossible to perform directory synchronization. A cloud storage gateway obtains, from a cloud message queue of a cloud service provider, a directory distributed by another cloud storage gateway; and therefore, as long as the cloud storage gateway can communicate with the cloud service provider, directory synchronization can be implemented without a need of direct communication between the cloud storage gateways. Therefore, even through an address obtained by the cloud storage gateway is a dynamic address or a private address, directory synchronization is not affected.
