Abstract: A device for processing an abnormal sleep state of an operating system is provided. The processing device includes a detection unit, an abnormal event determination unit, an event information verification unit and an abnormality notification unit. The detection unit detects whether a screen lid closing event occurs, wherein the operating system is preset to enter a sleep mode when a screen lid is closed, and the operating system is preset to enter a wake-up mode when the screen lid is opened. The abnormal event determination unit determines whether the screen lid is closed and whether an event that the operating system is not entering the sleep mode occurs. The event information verification unit verifies an event information and determines whether the event is classified as an abnormal event. The abnormality notification unit sends an abnormality notification to a system administrator unit, which performs a processing according to power status.

Abstract: A social networking system allows users to create and join groups in the social networking system, in which each group is associated with one or more interests shared by members of the group. To select content for presentation to a viewing user of the social networking system who is a member of a group, the social networking system may determine one or more topics associated with the group based at least in part on a classification system and on information associated with objects maintained in the social networking system that are similar to the group. The topic(s) associated with the group also may be determined based on information associated with the group, with members of the group, and/or with objects associated with the group. The social networking system may then select one or more content items associated with the topic(s) for presentation to the viewing user via a group page.
