In general, a method includes enabling a user to specify a rule that causes a message to be formed, the rule being based on a reputation of a product and the reputation being based on information, from an online source, that is indicative of the reputation of the product.

Managing reputations

The present description refers in particular to a computer-implemented method, a computer program product and a computer system for image processing, the method comprising: receiving at least one user image; identifying a plurality of image classification elements of the user image by: assigning an initial classification to the user image, wherein the initial classification is based on temporal data associated with the user image; determining at least one image label that globally describes content of the user image; calculating a label correctness value for each image label; recognizing at least one image component of the user image; calculating a component correctness value for each image component; correlating the image label and the image component using the label correctness value and the component correctness value, whereby a correlated image label and a correlated image component are identified; applying a rule to determine a category of the user image, wherein the rule is based on at least one of the following: the temporal data, the correlated image label and the correlated image component; and producing a final classification of the user image including the following image classification elements: the initial classification, the correlated image label, the correlated image component, and the category.

The present description refers in particular to a computer-implemented method, a computer program product and a device for measuring QoS in a mobile network, the method comprising: accessing at least one platform dependent API on a mobile device; obtaining, according to a set of QoS parameters, a first plurality of QoS measurement values from the mobile device by means of the API; and sending the first plurality of QoS measurement values to a first server.

Mobile network monitoring

An enhanced content sharing framework, in which a presence table indexing content globally stored on a respective home network, and policy information identifying users who are authorized to access the respective home network are received from first and second home network manager devices that respectively manage first and second home networks that each comprises one or more content rendering devices and content storing devices. A message is received from a user requesting that particular content be provided from the first home network to a particular content rendering device or content storing device of the second home network. Based on the presence table of the first home network, it is determined that the particular content is stored on the first home network, and, based on the policy information of the first home network, it is determined that the user is authorized to access the particular content on the first home network.

Enhanced content sharing framework

The present description refers in particular to a computer-implemented method, an embedded system, and a memory. The method relates to extending the functionality of an embedded system, wherein the embedded system includes a firmware in a fixed non-volatile memory. The method comprises attaching an attachable non-volatile memory to the embedded system, wherein an extension is stored in the attachable non-volatile memory; recognizing the extension by the firmware; and executing a service on the embedded system by means of the extension.

Extending the functionality of an embedded system

A computer-implemented method, a computer program product and a computer system assist a user to access a content item in a network such as a home network, the method comprises gathering capability information from a device, such as a digital music player in the network, wherein the device includes a directory of content items, wherein the directory includes a first container and a second container, wherein at least one of the plurality of content items is organized in the first container, and wherein at least one of the plurality of content items is organized in the second container; providing an index referring to the content items, the first container, and the second container; determining whether the directory has been modified; performing a content item search if the directory has been modified; and updating the index based on the results of the content item search.

Accessing content items in a network based on device capability information

An open gateway framework addresses the need for efficient modularization, extension, and adaptation of device functionality, such as gateway or set top box functionally. The open gateway framework facilitates rapid third party application development on customer electronic devices, particularly for telecommunications service providers. The open gateway framework provides: portability between different devices; rapid development based on extended platform features with a custom Application Programming Interface (API); and deployment with little or no impact on device base software.
