  • Publication number: 20190130518
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for generating and embedding a watermark in digital video frame include a processor obtaining a request to generate a watermark and embed the watermark in a digital video frame captured by a first monitor. Based on obtaining the request, the processor fetches from one or more pre-defined regions of a memory resource, digital video data captured by at least two monitors, where a timestamp of the digital video data is equal to a timestamp of the digital video frame. The processor generates a watermark from the digital video data by calculating a binary result of the digital video data. The processor embeds the watermark (binary result) in the digital video frame.

  • Publication number: 20190097998
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a method and system for protecting phone number from being exposed to third parties. The method comprises receiving a request, from a caller smart phone, for establishing telephone communication with a callee smart phone, wherein the request contains a code to designate the smart phone of the callee. The method further comprises checking whether the code is formally provided to the callee. The method further comprises: in response to determining that the code is formally provided to the caller, retrieving the phone number of the caller and the phone number of the callee based on the request and establishing a phone call connection via a cellular network with the phone number of the caller and the phone number of the callee.

  • Publication number: 20190087450
    Abstract: A method for verifying data consistency between update-in-place data structures and append-only data structures containing change histories associated with the update-in-place data structures is provided. The method includes loading data from an update-in-place data structure to a first set of hash buckets in a processing platform, loading data from append-only data structures to a second set of hash buckets in the processing platform, performing a bucket-level comparison between the data in the first set of hash buckets and the data in the second set of has buckets, and generating a report based on the bucket-level comparison.

  • Patent number: 9569470
    Abstract: Managing a sharing relationship of tables. A super schema is formed incorporating a plurality of tables in a database according to data types of respective columns of the plurality of tables. A free storage capacity of the super schema is evaluated according to holes not occupied by any table in the super schema. A sharing relationship of the plurality of tables is determined according to the free storage capacity of the super schema. The sharing relationship of a large number of tables in a database can be managed effectively, so as to design or optimize the sharing solution among the tables.
