  • Publication number: 20160327403
    Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method for recommending booths-to-visit to a user. The method includes: accessing a map database of an exhibition; accessing a history database that stores a plurality of records indicative of booths visited by a previous visitor in the exhibition; accessing a user record that includes data indicative of the booths which the user has visited; determining similarity level between each record in the history database and the user record, selecting one of the records according to the determined similarity level so as for the selected record to function as a reference record, usable to determine the booths not yet visited by the user; obtaining the user's current location in the exhibition, and determining a target booth, from the booths not yet visited by the user, by referring to the current location and the map database; and sending to the user a message indicative of the target booth.

  • Patent number: 8775551
    Abstract: A network system uses a staging server. The network system comprises an existing server and a client device that transmits session traffic comprising an HTTP request message. The HTTP request message is duplicated to form duplicated HTTP request messages. It is determined whether the HTTP request message has a first session identifier. If so, a mapping relation between the first session identifier and a second session identifier is searched for. The duplicated HTTP request messages to the existing server and the staging server, respectively, are transmitted, wherein the session identifier of the HTTP request message to the staging server is replaced with the second session identifier based on the first session identifier and the mapping relation. One embodiment may also comprise receiving an HTTP reply message from the existing server and an HTTP reply message from the staging server. The HTTP reply message from the existing server and the HTTP reply message from the staging server are compared.
