Abstract: Traffic information processing method and apparatus. The method includes the steps of: obtaining road traffic data of a plurality of road sections; predicting for at least two road sections of the plurality of road sections, based on the obtained data, traffic flow information at an expected time when arriving at the road section from a current position, the traffic flow information being used for describing a traffic state of a road; displaying via a display apparatus the predicted traffic flow information of at least two road sections in the at least two road sections. In addition, the present invention provides a traffic information processing apparatus, a GPS navigation device, and a variable message board. By applying the technical solution provided in the present invention, the road traffic condition can be effectively transferred to users so that it is convenient for the users to plan routes for their travel.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are generally related to computer systems, and more specifically to the analysis of defects in computer software products. Defects uncovered during software testing may be stored in a data structure as data defects, code defects, or environment defects, along with further data describing a particular nature of the defects. The defects may be analyzed to determine a particular problem area causing the defects. If a particular class of defects is determined to be the dominant class of defects encountered during testing, an analysis path of that class of defects may be followed to determine a cause for the defects in the respective class. Therefore, corrective measures tailored to resolving the defects associated with the determined cause may be taken.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for analyzing defects associated with a software development project. Descriptions of defects identified during the testing of a software product may be stored in a data structure. One or more of the defects may be identified as data defects. If data defects are determined to be the dominant class of defects in the data structure, the data defects may be analyzed to determine a cause for one or more data defects. For example, the focus areas affected by the defects, the trends over time of the defects, the particular types of the data defects, the stability of the system, etc. may be analyzed to determine a cause for the data defects. Therefore, corrective measures may be taken based on the identified cause of the one or more data defects.

Abstract: In a first aspect, a method is provided for transferring data. The method includes the steps of (1) receiving information about a location and type of a data source and a location and type of a data destination associated with a first data transfer from the data source to the data destination; (2) receiving information relating data in the data source to data in the data destination; (3) creating a data structure that defines a relationship between the data source and the data destination based on the received information; and (4) employing the data structure for the first data transfer. The data structure is adapted to transfer data from a single table in the data source to multiple tables in the data destination and transfer data from multiple tables in the data source to a single table in the data destination. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for managing user access to database(s), thereby reducing the time-consuming, repetitive tasks a database administrator must perform to grant user access to one or more databases. Embodiments of the invention also facilitate a database administrator in granting multiple user access of different types to multiple databases. Furthermore, embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for tracking grants of user access for multiple databases. One embodiment provides a method for managing user access to one or more databases, comprising: receiving an access request for one or more users requesting access to one or more databases; retrieving server information for the one or more databases; adding the one or more users to a user group for the database; and generating an access document for each user.
