In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a user query inputted on a head-mounted device from the head-mounted device, wherein the user query corresponds to multiple dialog-intents, executing multiple tasks corresponding to the multiple dialog-intents, generating a multi-perspective response by a stitching model based on two or more of execution results of the multiple tasks, wherein the stitching model combines the two or more of the execution results based on natural language processing, and wherein the multi-perspective response comprises a natural-language response combining the two or more execution results, and sending instructions to the head-mounted device for presenting the multi-perspective response on the head-mounted device.

An electronic device includes: a communication circuit; a memory; and a processor operatively connected to the communication circuit and the memory. The processor is configured to: receive an application from an external electronic device through the communication circuit; determine whether a profile related to the application exists in the memory; execute the application in a background state based on a determination that the profile related to the application does not exist in the memory; generate a profile related to the application executed in the background state; and install the application based on the generated profile.

Architectures and Techniques for Record Protection and Field Management. A software package having one or more custom metadata types is installed. The software package has computer-executable code that causes one or more processors to perform at least accessing the one or more custom metadata types. One or more protected records are accessed within the one or more custom metadata types. For the protected records, code in the installed package can read the protected records and can return the records whether protected or not. If the custom metadata types are in a separate base package, code in the base package can also read the records. Returned information is stored in the one or more custom metadata records that has been accessed.

Described herein are systems, methods, and software to configure virtual machines for end users based on a login history for the end users. In one implementation, a method of operating a virtual computing service that dynamically configures virtual machines includes capturing a login history indicative of when users login to a plurality of virtual machines using the virtual computing service. The method further provides, identifying an anticipated login time for a subset of the users based on the login history and identifying a configuration for the subset of users that is earlier than the anticipated login time. The method also includes, configuring a virtual machine at the configuration time for each user in the subset of the users by attaching at least one storage volume associated with the user to the virtual machine.

A global architecture (GLP), as disclosed herein, is based on the thin server architectural pattern; it delivers all its services in the form of web services and there are no user interface components executed on the GLP. Each web service exposed by the GLP is stateless, which allows the GLP to be highly scalable. The GLP is further decomposed into components. Each component is a microservice, making the overall architecture fully decoupled. Each microservice has fail-over nodes and can scale up on demand. This means the GLP has no single point of failure, making the platform both highly scalable and available. The GLP architecture provides the capability to build and deploy a microservice instance for each course-recipient-user combination. Because each student interacts with their own microservice, this makes the GLP scale up to the limit of cloud resources available—i.e. near infinity.

A picture frame and methods of setup, gifting, and/or use. Network connection allows digital frames to be set up remotely by a first user for a second user. The first user can upload photos from electronic devices or from photo collections of community members before the second user receives the frame device. The frame is thus ready for display upon powering on by the second user. An integrated camera is used to automatically determine an identity of a frame viewer and can capture gesture-based feedback. The displayed photos are automatically shown and/or changed according to the detected viewers. The photos can be filtered and cropped at the receiver side. Clustering photos by content is used to improve display and to respond to photo viewer desires.

Providing a virtual machine includes receiving a first request from a first client device, the request comprising information related to accessing one of a plurality of virtual machines, wherein the first client device is associated with a user; and also receiving a first location of the first client device. The method also includes stopping an existing virtual machine, from among the plurality of virtual machines, that is currently executing that is associated with the user; and based on the first location of the first client device, providing a first virtual machine, from among the plurality of virtual machines, to the first client device. At any given time instant there will be only one virtual machine running for a user in hypervisor memory and that one virtual machine is based on a current location of that user.

Systems, methods, and computer program embodiments are disclosed for providing a collaborative software platform to support professional services. In an embodiment, profile data associated with a user may first be received. The received profile data may include user preference data or user demographic data. Application data associated with the user may then be retrieved from an application database. The application database may store user-specific data to support an interactive application provided by the collaborative software platform. An interface configuration file may be identified based on the received profile data, and the interactive application may be customized according to the identified interface configuration file. Finally, the interactive application may be presented for display to the user.

An application program control method includes acquiring user operation information, determining, according to the user operation information, an application program icon operated by a user, determining a target control operation according to a control operation of an application program corresponding to the application program icon, and executing the target control operation.

Apparatus and methods related providing application execution information (AEI) are provided. A server can receive a request to provide a software package for a particular software application. The server can determine composite AEI (CAEI) for the particular software application. The CAEI can include a composite list of software with data about software methods of the particular software application executed by a computing device other than the server. The server can extract particular AEI related to the particular software application from the CAEI. The particular AEI can provide compiler hints for compiling at least one software method predicted to be executed by the particular software application. The server can generate the software package, where the software package can include the particular software application and the particular AEI. The server can provide the software package.
