Abstract: A network communication apparatus, includes a dispatch device, a first core group with several parallel core units and a second core group with at least one serial core unit. The dispatch device receives several packets contained in several first packet flows, and configured to dispatch several meta data to the parallel core units through several first data flows, and the meta data contain tunnel parameters of the packets. Furthermore, the at least one serial core unit receives the meta data from the parallel core units through several second data flows.

Abstract: The present invention provides an automatic system for visual guidance and navigation using real-time visual anchor point detection, which includes an edge device, a cloud device, and a landmark database; the system of the present invention provides users with navigation directions via visual landmarks. A candidate visual landmark image is selected from the database; the system of the present invention can calculate the time of day, the current weather condition, the current season, etc. In addition, the system of the present invention can use the camera on the dashboard of the vehicle, the camera in the smartphone, or other cameras to collect real-time images; the system of the present invention can also provide feedback on the visibility or salience of landmarks to improve the visual landmark images obtained by subsequent users.
