Abstract: Methods and terminal devices, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for selecting a server node. According to one of the methods, a terminal device first sends a connection request to one server node, and then sends a connection request to another server node after a time interval T. The terminal device first sends a connection request to a first server node. If the terminal device receives, within a first preset duration T, response information fed back by the first server node, the terminal device does not need to send a connection request to another server node. This helps save resources. In addition, the terminal device may establish a connection to a server node corresponding to received response information, and does not need to wait for feedback from another server node. This helps reduce a delay in establishing a connection between the terminal device and a server node.

Abstract: This application provides an application download monitoring method and a device. A mobile terminal detects whether access URL information requested by a plurality of first applications includes an application download request; when detecting that access URL information requested by any one of the plurality of first applications includes an application download request, the mobile terminal blocks the application download request, and sends the URL information to a server; the server queries, based on the application download request in the URL information, whether a security analysis result of a second application corresponding to the application download request exists, and if finding the security analysis result, the server sends the security analysis result to the mobile terminal; and the mobile terminal determines, based on the security analysis result, whether to download the second application.

Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a network switching method that comprises connecting, by a terminal device, to a first network, where a first application on the terminal device is connected to the first network, switching, by the terminal device, from the first network to a second network, and retaining a connection between the first application and the first network. The method further comprises receiving, by the terminal device, a network connection request from a second application on the terminal device, and connecting, by the terminal device, the second application to the second network. The network switching method does not cause interruption to the connection between the first application and the first network and to the ongoing data transmission between the first application and the first network, thereby improving data transmission performance.

Abstract: A device and a mobile terminal detect that a local end is connected to a peer end by using a data cable. If the mobile terminal detects a first operation action that is performed by a user on a touch display screen of the mobile terminal, the device gains access to the mobile terminal. The device displays a first screen if the mobile terminal detects a second operation action that is performed by the user on an input apparatus different from the touch display screen of the mobile terminal. The first screen is used to prompt the user to enter a screen unlock password of the mobile terminal on the device.

Abstract: A data method and a related device to resolve a disadvantage encountered when a first device accesses data of a second device. The method is applied to the first device, and the first device is coupled to the second device using a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. The method includes displaying, by the first device, an interface to which the second device is mapped, accessing data of the second device using the interface, receiving, by the first device, an instruction entered for the interface, displaying the data of the second device, receiving, by the first device, an operation instruction entered for the data, and processing, by the first device, the data according to the operation instruction.

Abstract: A device and a mobile terminal detect that a local end is connected to a peer end by using a data cable. If the mobile terminal detects a first operation action that is performed by a user on a touch display screen of the mobile terminal, the device gains access to the mobile terminal. The device displays a first screen if the mobile terminal detects a second operation action that is performed by the user on an input apparatus different from the touch display screen of the mobile terminal. The first screen is used to prompt the user to enter a screen unlock password of the mobile terminal on the device.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an online social network may receive, from a client system of a first user of the online social network, a search query inputted by the first user; and identify one or more of the entities matching the search query. At least a portion of the entities being identified based at least in part on a recorded geographic proximity between the first user and each identified entity. The online social network may access one or more proximity coefficients for the identified entities from a proximity-coefficient system of the online social network; calculate a score for each identified entity based at least in part on the value of the accessed proximity coefficients for the identified entity and social-graph information associated with the identified entity; and send, to the client system of the first user in response to the received search query, search results for display to the first user.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems for processing a search query of a user are detailed.
