Apparatuses and methods associated with preserving authentication under item change are disclosed herein. In embodiments, acquiring digital image data of an image of at least a portion of a target physical object; extracting features from the image data to form a digital fingerprint; querying the database system to seek a matching record based on the digital fingerprint; based on an amount of difference between the digital fingerprint and a stored digital fingerprint of the database, update the database system to output a new indication of a new match to the physical object for any new samples that are not matchable to the stored digital fingerprint within a first predetermined similarity threshold provided the new samples are matchable to the digital fingerprint within a second predetermined similarity threshold. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.

Apparatuses and methods associated with multi-level authentication are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a method includes authenticating a physical object of a plurality of physical objects that together form an aggregate physical object; storing in a database system relationship information reflecting a relationship between the aggregate physical object and the plurality of physical objects; attempting to authenticate a target physical object; responsive to matching the target physical object to the aggregate physical object based on the attempt to authenticate the physical target: identifying in the database system a database record corresponding to the aggregate physical object; storing in the database record authentication data reflecting the match between the target physical object and the aggregate physical object; and storing an indication of a re-authentication of the physical object in the database system based on the relationship information. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.

A system is disclosed that enriches image metadata by taking a variety of structured and unstructured data associated with an image and integrating some or all of the structured and unstructured data into the metadata of the image. The enriched image metadata renders the image capable of being placed against other leveraging technologies, for example searching and feature-based sorting.

An information processing device includes a controller that controls a notification of a linkage function corresponding to plural selected files. In a further modification of the invention, the controller may control the notification of the linkage function corresponding to formats of the selected files. When the plural files having different formats are selected, the controller may control the notification of the linkage function corresponding to the formats of the selected files.

Described is a system and method for enabling visual search for information. With each selection of an object included in an image, additional images that include visually similar objects are determined and presented to the user.

A method and system are provided. The method includes analyzing, by a hardware processor, one or more images to determine cognitive characteristics related to the one or more images and to a user. The method further includes forming, by the hardware processor, a composable template relating to the cognitive characteristics. The method also includes performing, by the hardware processor or another hardware processor, an amelioration action with respect to a displaying on a display device of at least one image from the one or more images, based on the composable template. The amelioration action is selected from a set of amelioration actions that include transmitting the at least one image to the disturbing image repository.

A method and an apparatus for processing a notification message are provided. The method mainly includes monitoring a notification message of an application through an interface of an auxiliary function of an operating system of a smart electronic device; and in response to detecting that the notification message includes a predefined keyword, performing corresponding processing on the notification message that includes the predefined keyword according to a processing method corresponding to the predefined keyword. The technical solutions of the present disclosure can perform different processing for different notification messages, enriching processing methods of notification messages, while preventing the notification messages from interrupting users, thus improving the degree of intelligentization of processing of the notification messages.

There is disclosed an arrangement for identifying and tracking a log. The arrangement comprises at least one imaging device that, when in operation, captures at least one image of the log, a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver that, when in operation, determines a felling location of the log, a remote server arrangement that, when in operation, receives data related to captured at least one image and the determined felling location of the log, and processes the received data to create an identification information for the log, and a data processor that, when in operation, checks if a query matches with the identification information in the remote server arrangement, and retrieves identification information corresponding to the matched query.
