In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for a dynamic, reconfigurable virtual reality environment with in-environment access to external data and resources. Implementations of these systems also provide an external mechanism for modifying other aspects of the virtual reality experience with no need to recode or compile the experience. This can alter the primary flow of the experience, change its behavior based on the specific user accessing it and add branded or customer-specific aspects to the application. The same level or environment can provide drastically different experiences for various users from beginners through experts, even allowing the option of random or ordered events, controllable by an instructor or administrator, through simple configuration.

Workflows stored in a workflow database are annotated, each of the workflows including an ordered sequence of steps. Sub-workflows are extracted from the workflows by splitting the workflows into sub-workflows at annotations that exist between the steps, a first of the sub-workflows including the respective annotation as an output of the first of the sub-workflows, a second of the sub-workflows including the respective annotation as an input to the second of the sub-workflows. Annotations in common between the sub-workflows are identified, including identifying beginning sub-workflows that include the respective annotation as an output and identifying ending sub-workflows that include the respective annotation as an input. The sub-workflows are recombined into new workflows by splicing together the sub-workflows at the annotations in common, such that each new workflow is formed from one of the beginning sub-workflows followed by one of the ending sub-workflows.

Embodiments of this application disclose a manufacturer usage description (MUD) file obtaining method and a device. A MUD controller uses a verified valid MUD uniform resource locator (URL) as a trusted basis. When a terminal device is currently updated, the MUD controller obtains a new MUD file based on a new MUD URL that meets a matching condition with the trusted MUD URL. Alternatively, the MUD controller uses fixed attribute information of a valid MUD URL as a trusted basis. When a terminal device is currently updated, the MUD controller obtains an updated MUD URL based on the trusted fixed attribute information and newly received variable attribute information, and obtains a new MUD file.

A network service maintains a recently used resource list for a user that includes a list of references (e.g., hyperlinks) to resources (e.g., files) recently accessed by the user. An application, such as a web browser application or a web browser extension, periodically retrieves the recently used resource list for the user from the network service. When the application is utilized to display a text entry field, a user interface (“UP”) can be provided for inserting references to recently used resources identified in the recently used resource list into the text entry field. Through the UI, the user can select a resource identified in the recently used resource list using appropriate user input (e.g., selection of a resource using a mouse cursor, touch, or keyboard input). In response thereto, a reference (e.g., a hyperlink) to a selected resource can be inserted into the text entry field.

In one aspect, methods and systems for producing an index of a target website are described. In another aspect, methods and systems for extracting specific information from one or more specific indexed URLs are described. The method and system for producing an index of a target website include receiving and analyzing a client's specifications for the index, accessing a target website, extracting the relevant information from the target website, parsing the extracted information in order to identify the URLs, producing the index containing the identified URLs, storing the index (which contains the list of indexed URLs) in a database, compiling the index (which contains the list of indexed URLs) into different formats requested by the client and providing the client, the access information for accessing the compiled index.

A system and method for using enhanced QR codes in a call to action, that provides enhanced functionality for generating a call to action element or providing personalized content when scanned, and that combine additional data dimensions with existing QR code technologies to expand the QR code capability beyond what is enabled by standard QR code specifications.

The present technology pertains to a link service that can create, maintain, and service links to objects on behalf of a content management system or other services. The link service can share administration of links with other services when desired or can even allow other services to issue the link and manage the object that is the subject of the link while providing other functions to support the link. Additionally, link service can interface with a file system that can support links as actors in the file system, whereby greater control and flexibility in supporting links is provided. Link service can also accommodate servicing and management of links issued by legacy services, where the legacy services have unique link logic that should still be utilized to maintain a consistent user experience.

The system may include a method comprising requesting, by a computer, a receiver identifier associated with a receiver; receiving, by the computer, the receiver identifier in association with content; constructing, by the computer, a URL link comprising access to DICOM viewer code, DICOM data for the selected images, a sender identifier and the receiver identifier; generating, by the computer, a notification to the receiver, wherein the notification includes the URL link; and transmitting, by the computer, the notification to a receiver based on the receiver identifier.

An information processing apparatus includes an obtaining section that obtains a content; a linking section that extracts resource information indicating a resource from the content obtained by the obtaining section and links the content, a notification destination, and the extracted resource information; and a notification section that obtains a state of the resource indicated by the resource information and in a case where the obtained state satisfies a predetermined condition, transmits a notification to the notification destination linked with the resource information.

A system may determine information in relation to a link in an interlinked set of information content items. A memory may store a set of machine-readable instructions operable, when executed by a processor, to receive a link context associated with a link in an information content item of the interlinked set. The link context may include information from the information content item providing context for the link. Instructions may also be operable to identify one or more additional links present in the link context and determine a link density as the proportion of the link context which includes the or each additional link relative to the size of the link context, and/or determine a text density as the proportion of the link context which does not include the or each additional link relative to the size of the link context and/or count the or each additional link.
