The present invention gives the methods and processes for automatically servicing user driven requests to find place-holder fields, fill them in with relevant data in a secure manner and securely communicating the data related thereto to the appropriate Android™ device and/or application. More particularly, it relates to the methods and processes for authenticated users to automatically obtain and use the correct filled-in data that allows them to access or use any of a multiple number of Android™ applications and/or services at any time.

Systems and methods for application level authentication are provided for use with the low energy Bluetooth device and accessory. This includes receiving accessory credentials from a server, establishing a Bluetooth low energy connection with the accessory, authenticating with the accessory, and lastly transferring data to the accessory. The transferring of the data may be either a bulk transfer, or a data stream. The authenticating may be an application layer authentication between a device and the accessory using a shared secret key and using a hash function. Additional embodiments include methods for over-the-air firmware updates, and device control of a low energy Bluetooth accessory.

A system includes a user interface presented to a developer. The developer selects a first function to supplement functionality of a first application with external functionality available from third party applications. A code generation module provides a software object to the developer for incorporation into a first state of the first application. The first state includes a user interface element associated with an entity. User selection of the user interface element initiates preparation of a query wrapper including a combination of the entity's name and a predefined text string corresponding to the first function. The query wrapper is transmitted to a search system and a result set is received and displayed. A first item of the result set includes an access mechanism for a specified state of a target application. User selection of the first item causes the access mechanism to open the target application to the specified state.

In general, in one aspect, a method includes receiving software code with an invalid characteristic, repeatedly attempting to execute the software code with the invalid characteristic on a device, and in response to successful execution of the software code with the invalid characteristic, taking an action. The action may include an action to remediate the device.

An activation code management system for a fleet of work vehicles includes a computing and data storage system to which vehicles in the fleet are connected for cellular data transmission. Each vehicle provides information regarding the activation codes operative thereon, and the information is compiled and reported by the computing and data storage system. The system also can obtain, retain and report actual usage of activated software.

An installation system for a multiple device, multiple application solution may include options for installing and configuring one or more of the devices as virtual machines. The installation system may start from bare hardware, install a virtual machine host, and configure one or more devices as virtual machines. The installation system may provide a set of predefined configurations from which an administrator may choose, and some embodiments may provide various algorithms or optimization routines to select an appropriate configuration based on intended uses or other factors. The configurations may be customized to create one or more documents that may be consumed during the installation process to automate many configuration settings.

A method of deploying a network service (NS) across multiple data centers includes identifying virtual network functions (VNFs) associated with the NS in response to a request for or relating to the NS, generating commands to deploy VNFs based on VNF descriptors, and issuing the commands to the data centers to deploy VNFs. The data centers each have a cloud management server in which cloud computing management software is run to provision virtual infrastructure resources thereof for a plurality of tenants. The cloud computing management software of a first data center is different from the cloud computing management software of a second data center, and the commands issued to the first and second data centers are each a generic command that is not in a command format of the cloud computing management software of either the first data center or the second data center.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a hybrid approach to performing a lazy pull of a container image. A file system in user space (FUSE) is utilized to lazy pull the container image, and manage file requests from the container while the container image is being fetched locally. During the retrieving, the FUSE may receive from the container, one or more file requests, and may temporarily block each of the one or more file requests until it can process them. Once the container image is fully fetched locally, the overlay structure of the container image expected by a file system in the kernel (e.g., Overlay FS) is created and control is passed to the file system in the kernel. The FUSE may then unmount itself, to expose the container to the underlying mount point.

A program acquisition method performed by an information processing terminal, includes calculating a degree of matching a first condition that authorizes access to a predetermined program with respect to a condition detected in relation to the information processing terminal, acquiring the predetermined program and storing the acquired predetermined program in a storage in response to the degree of matching being within a predetermined range from a first value indicating that the degree of matching satisfies the first condition, and restricting the access to the predetermined program stored in the storage until the degree of matching indicates the first value.

Technologies for binary translation include a computing device that allocates a translation cache shared by all threads associated with a corresponding execution domain. The computing device assigns a thread to an execution domain, translates original binary code of the thread to generate translated binary code, and installs the translated binary code into the corresponding translation cache for execution. The computing device may allocate a global region cache, generate region metadata associated with the original binary code of a thread, and store the region metadata in the global region cache. The original binary code may be translated using the region metadata. The computing device may allocate a global prototype cache, translate the original binary code of a thread to generate prototype code, and install the prototype code in the global prototype cache. The prototype code may be a non-executable version of the translated binary code. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
