Embodiments of the invention make consumer application adoption more efficient by giving suppliers access to the desired target audience by displaying the applications to the right audience. Suppliers can provide criteria for the kinds of users they are looking to target using constraints. Embodiments of the invention enable viewers that match the constraints to see the service. The user gets to see an automatically generated application set, that is instantly available, with a high probability of containing the application the user is likely to seek. Identity and Payment support are built into the platform, such that the user no longer needs to register with each application or set up payment with each application. In addition, the platform reduces bandwidth consumption, storage front print, and power consumption of the user device by choosing when and which modules to download to the user device.

A method for pushing an application program includes: receiving a connection request for establishing a connection to a wireless network device that is sent by a terminal; sending a specified webpage address to the terminal, and the terminal acquires a system type of the terminal according to webpage content corresponding to the received specified webpage address and sends the system type to the wireless network device; receiving the system type sent by the terminal; and sending, to the terminal, a push address that is provided for the terminal to download an application program and is corresponding to the system type. In the present invention, when a push condition is met, a wireless network device pushes a specified application program corresponding to a system type of a terminal to the terminal.

An electronic apparatus includes: a memory; a storage configured to store a first operating system; and a processor configured to: perform booting by loading the first operating system stored in the storage to the memory, and store data, obtained based on the first operating system running, in the storage, load an obtained second operating system and the data stored in the storage to the memory, identify operation compatibility between the second operating system and the data loaded to the memory, perform booting by loading the second operating system to the memory, based on identification of normal operation compatibility, and perform booting by loading the first operating system to the memory, based on identification of abnormal operation compatibility.

A method for running an identity and access management system includes providing at least one layer, and a master computer that communicates with at least one slave computer. The master computer has at least one component which is designed as a computing device and/or as a memory device and/or as a further working component respectively. Units of the functionality of the computing device and/or of the memory device and/or of the further working component of the master computer, respectively, are generated. The respective units of the functionality of the computing device and/or of the memory device and/or of the functionality of the further working component, respectively, are converted into a code and are transmitted in coded form from the master computer to the slave computer. The master computer is controlled with the aid of the computing device and a software program.

A method for configuring a cooking appliance by a terminal capable of exchanging data according to a communication protocol with the cooking appliance, the configuration method including creating and/or selecting a cooking program, the cooking program (prog), creating and/or selecting a desired cooking state corresponding to a state of progress of the implementation of the cooking program, determining cooking configuration data from the cooking program and/or the desired cooking state, and sending the cooking configuration data to the cooking appliance.

Provided is device linked context identification and notification. Context data of a user profile of a user is retrieved from an external storage. The context data is analyzed to place user activities of the user and surrounding activities around the user in activity categories and to assign tags for the user activities and the surrounding activities. In response to receiving a notification that shutdown of a first device being used by the user is about to occur, current context data and historical context data are compared to determine whether the current context data for the user is one of typical and unusual and to predict a future action of the user. A device shutdown notice is sent to a second device with the current context data, the determination of whether the current context data for the user is one of typical and unusual, and the prediction of the future action.

In some examples, an electronic device includes a plurality of network interfaces to communicate over respective different networks, and a storage medium to store information associating a first application of the electronic device with a first profile, and associating a second application of the electronic device with a second profile. The first profile selects a first network interface of the plurality of network interfaces to use for communications, and the second profile selects a second network interface of the plurality of network interfaces to use for communications.

A method is provided that includes: identifying a plurality of processing modules configured to provide a service, dependency information among the plurality of processing modules, and a plurality of performance parameters corresponding to the plurality of processing modules, respectively, wherein the plurality of processing modules are implemented as computer program instructions stored in one or more computer-readable storage mediums and are configured to be executed by one or more processors; determining thread configuration information based on the plurality of performance parameters, wherein the thread configuration information includes a plurality of thread numbers corresponding to the plurality of processing modules, respectively, wherein each thread number of the plurality of thread numbers is a number of threads included in a thread pool configured to execute the corresponding processing module; and packaging the plurality of processing modules, the dependency information, and the thread configuration information to generate an image for providing the service.

A smart phone (101) for providing a user account (102) through which a user (103) is able to operate phone (101). The phone (101) includes onboard memory module (104) for storing at least first data records (105). Phone (101) also includes a user interface (106) for receiving input from the user. A processor (107) is responsive to interface (106) receiving a first predetermined input from user (103) for initiating a first authorised session (108) to account (102), and allowing user (103) to access account (102) and discover records (105). Processor (107) is also responsive to interface (106) receiving a second predetermined input from user (103) during session (108) for controlling interface (106) to seek a third input from user (103) to indicate an identifier for a hidden second authorised session (109). Interface (106) does not reveal to user (103) the pre-existence or otherwise of session (109) or any other like session. Processor (107) is also responsive to the third input not corresponding with the identifier for not revealing to user (103) if session (109) or any such other session exists.

An example method can include storing, on a CSM, a first content item and representations of second and third content items, the second content item having content/features enabled by a cloud service and designed for access through a native online application and the third content item having content/features supported by a local application and having additional features designed for access through a cloud service and native online application; when the first content item is invoked, presenting the content/features of the first content item; in response to a request to access the representation of the second or third content item, sending, to a cloud service, a request for the additional features of the third content item or the content/features of the second content item; and based on metadata received from a cloud service, providing the additional features/content of the third content item or the content/features of the second content item.
