Abstract: A method for controlling the functioning of two or more smart home appliances of a network system comprising a cloud server, a terminal device and two or more smart home appliances registered in said cloud server. The method comprises: selecting two or more smart home appliances of the same type; grouping the selected smart home appliances into a products group; selecting control instructions; associating the selected control instructions to the products group to define group control instructions; and sending the group control instructions to the grouped smart home appliances so that all the grouped smart home appliances concurrently execute identical functions according to the group control instructions.

Abstract: Techniques for generating a recommendation for content based on user-device dialogue are described. In an example, a computer system receives a request for audio output at a user device. The computer system determines a response for the request. The computer system determines a topic and value associated with the request and the response. The computer system also determines a recommendation for content based on the request and the response. The computer system generates prompt data including a question of whether to initiate an action associated with the recommendation. The computer system sends the prompt data and the response data to the user device or a different user device.

Abstract: A method of creating a sharing users' group for sharing control of a registered smart home appliance, wherein a first registered user sends an invitation notification to a second terminal device of a second user to participate to the users group, the second user accepts the invitation notification, and a cloud server associates the second terminal device to the registered smart home appliance, whereupon the second user is able to select control instructions and associate the selected control instructions to the registered smart home appliance, and the cloud server is able to send the control instructions selected by the second user to the registered smart home appliance.

Abstract: A method for controlling the functioning of at least one smart home appliance of a network system comprising a cloud server, a terminal device and at least one smart home appliance registered in said cloud server. The method comprises a phase of creating an activity group comprising: selecting one or more registered smart home appliance; selecting control instructions; associating the selected control instructions to the selected smart home appliances; selecting a trigger event for each one of the selected control instructions; activating said activity group; and the cloud server sending the selected control instructions to the selected smart home appliances according to the trigger event.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments providing a personalized interaction and navigation system. An embodiment operates by receiving, during a computing session, an indication of a first interaction with a currently accessed document stored in a computing system. It is determined that the first document is not included in the set of previously accessed documents. A new tab is added to the interface corresponding to the currently accessed document based upon the determining. The new tab is maintained on the interface for the duration of the computing session, wherein upon completion of the computing session, a determination is made whether to persist the tab beyond the computing session based on a request or to automatically remove the tab from the interface and the cache.

Abstract: The invention refers to a process to obtain lignans, especially to obtain cubebin and methylpluviatolide from leaves of Zanthoxylum naranjillo or Piper cubeba. It also refers to a process to obtain semi-synthetic derivatives of cubebin, especially dibenzylbutirloactonic lignans, such as: hinokinin, o-acetyl cubebin, o-methyl cubebin, 6,6?-dinitrohinokinine and o-dimethylethylamine cubebin and other derivatives which may be obtained, as well as to obtain methylpluviatolide derivatives, which are used to manufacture drugs to provide activity at least five times higher than observed for gentian violet and other compounds used heretofore for blood treatment and Chagas' disease prophylaxis.
