Abstract: This application provides example device networking and audio channel configuration methods, applied to a system including a first electronic device and at least one audio device. One example method includes sending, by an audio device of the at least one audio device, a networking packet in response to detecting a first gesture. The first electronic device receives the networking packet. The first electronic device establishes a correspondence between the audio device corresponding to the networking packet and an audio channel indicated by a direction corresponding to the first gesture, the established correspondence allowing the audio device corresponding to the networking packet to be configured to play audio of the audio channel indicated by the direction corresponding to the first gesture. The first electronic device establishes a networking connection to the audio device.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for operating an electric vehicle during conditions when output of an electric energy storage device is limited. In one example, torque commands of left and right electric machines are adjusted in equal amounts so that output of the electric energy storage device may be limited. The approach may be applied to electric machines on front and rear sides of an electric vehicle.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a vehicle are provided. A method for a vehicle includes coupling two motors to an axle. Furthermore, the method includes, at each of the two motors, setting a requested motor torque to a permitted motor torque in compliance with a threshold motor power, determining an unmet motor torque as a difference between the requested and the permitted motor torque, and balancing the unmet motor torque, including reducing the permitted motor torque at one or both of the two motors.

Abstract: This application relates to a cross-network-segment discovery method and system, and a routing device. The method includes: An electronic device A sends, to an electronic device B, a DLNA delivery message that includes a URL and an identifier of the electronic device B. The electronic device B plays content corresponding to the URL. After the electronic device A moves from an area A to an area B, the electronic device A disconnects from a routing device A, and connects to a routing device B. The electronic device A sends, to the routing device B, a first request message that includes a fixed multicast address. The routing device B forwards the first request message to the routing device A. The routing device A sends the first request message in a multicast mode within a range of a first multicast address. The electronic device B sends a first response message to the electronic device A by using the routing device A and the routing device B. The electronic device A discovers the electronic device B.

Abstract: This application provides a voiceprint recognition method and device. The method includes: calculating, by an electronic device a first confidence value that an entered voice belongs to a first registered user, and calculating a second confidence value that the entered voice belongs to a second registered user. The method further includes: calculating, by another electronic device, a third confidence value that the entered voice belongs to the first registered user, and calculating a fourth confidence value that the entered voice belongs to the second registered user. A server determines, based on the first confidence value and the third confidence value, a fifth confidence value that a user is the first registered user, and determines, based on the second confidence value and the fourth confidence value, a sixth confidence value that the user is the second registered user.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the invention involves providing a secure BIOS update to selective user operating systems in a platform conforming to virtualization technology. In an embodiment, a provision agent in a service operating system identifies requests for BIOS updates received from a management console and forwards authorized update requests to a virtual machine monitor (VMM) for processing the updates according to platform policy. An update may be applied immediately to some user operating systems and be delayed in others. Some updates may require an immediate reboot of the platform. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
