A voice inputting device inputs a voice operation of a user, and transmits voice data based on the voice operation to a first cloud server. The first cloud server receives the voice data from the voice inputting device, analyzes the received voice data, and determines an operational skill level of the user and the details of the voice operation. A second cloud server generates a control command for an air conditioner based on the operational skill level and the details of the voice operation determined by the first cloud server, and transmits the generated control command to the air conditioner.

Some aspects include a method for synchronizing at least two devices, including: connecting the at least two devices using an application executed on each of the at least two devices, wherein: a same media is executed in synchronization by the at least two devices using the application; and an input received by the application executed on a first device of the at least two devices actuates a same response on the at least two devices.

A method according to one embodiment is for transmitting a message. In one embodiment, one or more processor of a messaging system identifies a certain message of the messaging system, the certain message being a blocked message intended for transmission to a certain user of the messaging system. In one embodiment, the one or more processor further determines one or more of a popularity of content of the certain message and a relevance of content of the certain message to the certain user, the certain user being a prospective recipient of a message. In one embodiment, the one or more processor transmits a message to the certain user responsively to a result of the determining of the one or more of a popularity of content of the certain message and a relevance of content of the certain message to the certain user of the messaging system.

In one embodiment, a processor comprises: at least one core formed on a die to execute instructions; a first memory controller to interface with an in-package memory; a second memory controller to interface with a platform memory to couple to the processor; and the in-package memory located within a package of the processor, where the in-package memory is to be identified as a more distant memory with respect to the at least one core than the platform memory. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Microelectronic package communication is described using radio interfaces connected through wiring. One example includes a system board, an integrated circuit chip, and a package substrate mounted to the system board to carry the integrated circuit chip, the package substrate having conductive connectors to connect the integrated circuit chip to external components. A radio on the package substrate is coupled to the integrated circuit chip to modulate the data onto a carrier and to transmit the modulated data. A radio on the system board receives the transmitted modulated data and demodulates the received data, and a cable interface is coupled to the system board radio to couple the received demodulated data to a cable.

A method of activating at least one processing entity from among a plurality of entities situated on the path of a data of a session between a terminal of a user and a server of a services provider. The terminal and the server are attached to a communications network. In the method, the terminal: sends to the server an identification message to receive identifiers of entities of the plurality, which are added to the message by the entities; receive from the server an acknowledgement message including the identifiers included in the identification message; select at least one identifier from among those received from the server; and send to the server a message relating to the activation of entities from among the plurality.

A server includes a normal NIC as an NIC having an expansion function, and a virtual patch panel having a transfer function of transferring packets between the normal NIC and an accelerator utilization type NIC, which is implemented by software. The server is configured such that, when a packet is transferred between the normal NIC and the accelerator utilization type NIC via the virtual patch panel, the target function transfers the packet to and from the APLs.

Methods, apparatuses, and systems related to an apparatus are described. The apparatus may include (1) a read state circuit configured to control the schedule/timing associated with parallel pipelines, and (2) a timing control circuit configured to coordinate output of data from the parallel pipelines.

[Object] To propose an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, an information processing system, and a program that enable a user to check handover of information between an agent and an operator.

[Solving Means] An information processing apparatus according to the present technology is connected to be capable of communicating with a terminal apparatus of a user and a terminal apparatus of an operator who interacts with the user and has an agent that performs information exchange with the user about a specific topic. The information processing apparatus includes a control unit. The control unit causes the terminal apparatus of the user to display a situation where the agent is communicating a progress status of the information exchange to the operator.

In an information processing system including a terminal device carried by a user and a server device communicably connected to the terminal device by a secure communication method, the terminal device acquires a sensing result in a real space where the terminal device is located and sends the same to the server device, and the server device holds base information for specifying at least one position in the real space as an information processing base, and sends an information processing instruction to the terminal device in a case where a predetermined condition defined using a distance or a direction between a position specified by the sensing result received from the terminal device and a position specified by the base information is satisfied.
