Abstract: A method and server updates service information. A service information update request may be received from a mobile terminal device. The service information update request may include a user Identity (ID) of a user. Characteristic information of the user may be determined according to the user ID. Service information may be determined according to the characteristic information of the user and information relating to an area, at which the mobile terminal device may be located. The service information may be sent to the mobile terminal device.

Abstract: A capability open platform, a device identification method and a gateway for implementing PNP management of a terminal device are provided, wherein the capability open platform is used to identify a terminal device which has not been connected to a gateway according to the label information uploaded by the gateway, thus implementing the PNP of the terminal device which is not supported. The method includes that the gateway acquires the label information of a terminal device by a terminal authorization mechanism, calls the device identification service of the capability open platform to identify the terminal device that has not been connected to the gateway. The disclosure enables the gateway to identify the terminal device which is not under the protocols supported by the gateway but needed to be connected, so as to be compatible with PNP management and service of all a terminal device.

Abstract: The virtual companion described herein is able to respond realistically to tactile input, and through the use of a plurality of live human staff, is able to converse with true intelligence with whomever it interacts with. The exemplary application is to keep older adults company and improve mental health through companionship.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for a computing device to determine if an application is malware. The computing device may include: a query logger to log the behavior of the application on the computing device to generate a log; a behavior analysis engine to analyze the log from the query logger to generate a behavior vector that characterizes the behavior of the application; and a classifier to classify the behavior vector for the application as benign or malware.
