Abstract: A method for re-recognizing an object image is provided based on multi-feature information capture and correlation analysis weights of an input feature map by using a convolutional layer with a spatial attention mechanism and a channel attention mechanism, causing channel and spatial information to effectively combined, which not only focus on an important feature and suppress an unnecessary feature, but also improve a representation of a feature. A multi-head attention mechanism is used to process a feature after an image is divided into blocks to capture abundant feature information and determine a correlation between features to improve performance and efficiency of object image retrieval. The convolutional layer with the channel attention mechanism and the spatial attention mechanism is combined with a transformer having the multi-head attention mechanism to focus on globally important features and capture fine-grained features, thereby improving performance of re-recognition.

Abstract: A mobile device implements an inter-device inter-process communication (IPC) mechanism by which services on each device in a cluster group may be accessed by other devices in the cluster group using intra-device IPC calls. The inter-device IPC mechanism extends the existing intra-device IPC mechanism so that it may be used by existing applications across devices in the cluster group with little or no modification to the applications. A mobile device establishes pseudo-tokens for objects on the mobile device and pseudo-handlers for objects on the other devices. A mobile device may access multiple objects on other devices and may provide multiple other devices with access to a local object. Each object accessed via an inter-device IPC call is associated with a respective service adapter in a respective communication service gateway of each of the participating devices.
