A server receives and rebroadcasts live streaming video content from a video capture device, such as a mobile phone or unmanned surveillance vehicle. The server includes a media server configured to stream selected video content to a client device, a video analysis system configured to analyze the live video content and generate object detection data, a storage system configured to store the generated object detection data and an identifier of the associated live video content, and a search engine configured to receive a text-based search request, search the object detection data stored in the storage system for relevant search results, and generate a list of live and stored video content associated with the relevant search results.

Method and system for text search capability of live or recorded video content streamed over a distributed communication network

An LDAP to SQL proxy to adapt a relational database as a directory service for an LDAP client is provided. The database may be defined in accordance with a database schema which is external to an LDAP server serving the LDAP client. The proxy comprises LDAP to SQL query and response mappings preferably for a reduced set of LDAP operations. The proxy may comprise a mechanism to maintain a plurality of persistent database connections to reduce query processing overhead. The proxy may further be adapted to maintain persistent connections to each of at least two alternative databases for executing queries to provide enhanced failsafe operations. A plurality of LDAP to SQL proxied databases may be configured for sharing query loads to enhance scalability and performance.

According to embodiments described in the specification, a method and apparatus, for determining the state of a computing device is described, by first determining at least one unique code associated with at least one file resident on the computing device, the at least one unique code representative of a state of the at least one file. Then at least one unique reference code associated with at least one update file is determined, the at least one update file for updating said at least one file resident on the computing device, and the at least one unique reference code representative of an expected state of the at least one file resident on the computing device. Finally, the state of the computing device is determined to be in an expected state if the at least one unique code matches the at least one unique reference code, and in an unexpected state if the at least one unique code does not match the at least one unique reference code.
