  • Publication number: 20240201970
    Abstract: A system for securing application installation on a user device includes a secure link server and a verification server. The secure link server outputs a secured link for downloading an application onto a user device. The secured link includes a signature encrypted with a first key. Content with a single tap link is displayed on a user device. When the single tap link is selected, the user device requests authorization to automatically install the application in single tap mode. The verification server verifies the validity of a request signature included in the request. If the request signature is valid, automatic installation is authorized. If the request signature is invalid, automatic installation is prohibited and the device enters a different mode for downloading and installing the application.

    Abstract: A data processing system may generate a plurality of probability distributions, each probability distribution corresponding to a different profile characteristic regarding transactions performed by an entity. The data processing system may receive a first profile characteristic configuration for each of the plurality of probability distributions and a corresponding first start time. The data processing system may adjust each of the plurality of probability distributions according to the first profile characteristic configuration for the probability distribution and the first start time to generate a first set of adjusted probability distributions. The data processing system may sample each of the first set of adjusted probability distributions to generate transaction data for one or more first transactions. The data processing system may generate a record comprising the generated transaction data.

    Abstract: A path planning method applied to a navigation device includes acquiring a two-dimensional depth map, transforming the two-dimensional depth map into a gray distribution map via statistics of pixel values on the two-dimensional depth map, computing a space matching map by arranging pixel counts on the gray distribution map, and computing a weighting value about each angle range of the space matching map in accordance with a distance from location of a pixel count to a reference point of the space matching map. The weighting value represents existential probability of an obstacle within the said angle range and a probable distance between the navigation device and the obstacle.
