Abstract: An apparatus or a method for detecting activity quantity of an object includes a sense unit, a count unit, a trigger unit, and a radio circuit. The sense unit senses movements of the object, and generates a sensing signal based on the sensed movements. The count unit receives the sensing signal from the sense unit, counts a number of the movements from the sensing signal, and generates a movement number signal including the number of the movements. The trigger unit generates a trigger signal based on whether one or more trigger conditions are satisfied. The radio circuit is triggered in response to the trigger signal, to generate an activity quantity signal based on the movement number signal and ID information corresponding to the object.

Abstract: Managing software performance debugging based on a distributed VM system is provided. In response to determining a debugging state of a software system running on a VM, a timing of a system clock of the VM is controlled. A data packet sent to the VM from another VM is intercepted, and an added system time and reference time that indicate when the packet was sent by the other VM is extracted from the packet. Based on the system and reference times, as well as a reference time of when the packet is intercepted, a timing at which the packet is expected to be received by the VM is calculated. The packet is forwarded to the VM as a function of a comparison of the timing at which the packet is expected to be received and a system time of the VM when the packet is intercepted.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide information processing systems and methods for proliferating testing data based on sample testing data. In one embodiment, a difference is determined by comparing a desired query result to a query result acquired by executing a query statement on sample testing data. Sample testing data can then be proliferated based, at least in part, on the difference and data generation constraint conditions.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a technical solution of determining a border between road network partitions, comprising: determining a border point based on road network data and partitioning information of road segments in the road network; determining a buffer zone between adjacent partitions based on the border point, the partitioning information of the road segments, and the road network data; determining a border between the adjacent partitions based on the buffer zone. With the solution of the present invention, border lines for road network partitions can be accurately determined.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for obtaining a first route traversed by a target object, performing at least one prediction for a second route to be traversed by the target object based on the first route, the at least one prediction being performed with at least one of an object-specific prediction model, an object group-specific prediction model, and an object-independent prediction model, and determining, according to a decision rule, a prediction result of the second route based on the at least one prediction.

Abstract: One or more sensors associated with a vehicle detect a roadway condition of a first roadway and an evasive maneuver is performed by the vehicle to avoid the detected roadway condition. In response to one or more processors determining that the evasive maneuver was successful, a record of the successful maneuver and the roadway condition are stored in a database. Subsequent to storing the record in the database, one or more computers associated with one or more vehicles is trained to execute the evasive maneuver, in response to determining that the one or more vehicles is exposed to the roadway condition experienced by the vehicle.

Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring interesting subjects. A method including: selecting, based on a first collection of interesting subjects, a set of critical nodes including at least one critical node which participates in one or more interesting subjects in the first collection; and monitoring contents posted by the one or more critical nodes in the set so as to find a second collection of interesting subjects. The set of critical nodes which participate in one or more interesting subjects in the first collection of interesting subjects is selected based on the first collection, as objects to be monitored, thereby reducing the number of contents posted by the nodes to be monitored as compared with monitoring all the user nodes, so that interesting subjects such as hot news or hot events can be found in real time with high efficiency and low cost.

Abstract: Simplification of trajectory representation is provided. Trajectories represented by a set of points on a map are obtained. Common route elements are identified for the trajectories based on the set of points. Each of the common route elements represents a geospatial area in which at least a predetermined number of the trajectories are identical. Simplified representations of the trajectories are generated based on the identified common route elements.

Abstract: A method for detecting the presence of an unattended child left in a vehicle includes receiving acoustic data obtained from inside a vehicle, determining if the vehicle is running or not in response to the acoustic data, determining if all windows in the vehicle are closed when the vehicle is not running, determining if sound volume inside the vehicle exceeds a predetermined threshold when all of the windows are closed, determining if a predetermined high-frequency word is spoken inside the vehicle when all of the windows are closed, and outputting an alert indicating that an unattended child is left in the vehicle when the sound volume inside the vehicle exceeds the predetermined threshold and when the predetermined high-frequency word is spoken inside the vehicle.

Abstract: Dispatching messages in a moving object, in one aspect, may include receiving a description of a spatial area. A hierarchical tree representation of the spatial area may be generated. The hierarchical tree representation may comprise nodes, wherein a child node represents a sub-region of a region represented by a parent node of the child node. Moving features may be associated with each of the nodes, the moving features comprising whether the node is cacheable, whether the node covers an unpartitioned area, an active object list in an area covered by the node, and a latest position associated with an object in the active object list. Data from the moving object may be dispatched based on the hierarchical tree representation.

Abstract: Generating routes based on contextual risk includes receiving a destination and generating candidate routes to the destination from a designated location based on roadways available for routes and one or more fixed criteria. A contextual risk associated with each of the candidate routes is determined based on at least dynamic environmental attributes. The candidate routes are displayed on a map together with a representation of the determined contextual risk.
