Disclosed are a binding method and system for device network configuration, and a mobile terminal and a storage medium. The method comprises: according to a request made to a cloud server from a smart device needing to be configured, acquiring device information of the smart device and a binding code; receiving the binding code generated by the cloud server, and the device information sent by same, and connecting the smart device according to the device information, and sending the binding code to the connected smart device, such that when the smart device is registered to the cloud server, the binding and connection to the smart device are realized according to the binding code.

A system determination apparatus 1 includes: a calculation unit (31) configured to calculate a variation coefficient representing a degree of variation of traffic and an average traffic amount corresponding to a plurality of days using traffic data of a network apparatus (3) corresponding to the plurality of days; and a determination unit (34) configured to determine a system of the network apparatus (3) using a density of a data group representing a relationship between the variation coefficient and the average traffic amount corresponding to the plurality of days, and the determination unit (34) determines the network apparatus (3) to be a non-operation system in a case where a density of the data group is equal to or higher than a first threshold and determines the network apparatus (3) to be an operation system in a case where the density of the data group is lower than the first threshold.

A server and a control method are provided. The server includes a communication interface for performing communication with a plurality of electronic devices and a plurality of sensing devices, and at least one processor configured to identify a sensing device corresponding to a user's location from among the plurality of sensing devices based on information received from at least one of the plurality of electronic devices and the plurality of sensing devices through the communication interface, and control the communication interface to transmit a signal for controlling a target electronic device among the plurality of electronic devices to the target electronic device based on sensing data received from the identified sensing device.

A method for reverse path forwarding (RPF) selection by a network device connected to a network includes receiving an advertisement message from each of a plurality of neighbor devices within the network, parsing the advertisement message to determine a color identification (ID) of each of the neighbor devices, and selecting, from among the neighbor devices, a RPF device based on the color ID of each of the neighbor devices.

Systems and methods for splitting cells in a network of Internet of Things (IOT) may evaluate a network metric such as receives signal strength indicator (RSSI) for end devices to determine a general network activity level. When the network metric falls below a predetermined threshold, the cell splitting controller may cause the cell to split in such a manner as to offload some portion of the end devices on an adjacent gateway and/or change frequencies to reduce the likelihood of collision. By splitting cells in this fashion, the density of end devices served by a single gateway is reduced, fewer collisions occur statistically, and the user experience may be improved.

Systems and methods for a security network integrating security system and network devices are disclosed. A system may comprise a gateway and first and second security panels, each located at a premises. The first and second security panels may be connected, via respective first and second wireless communication protocols, to respective first and second security system components. The first and second security panels may receive respective first and second security data from the respective first and second security system components. The gateway may be configured to receive, via the first and second wireless communication protocols, the respective first and second security data. The gateway may be configured to transmit at least one of the first security data and the second security data to a security server located external to the premises.

In one example, a method and apparatus for initiating internet connection speed tests in residential gateways are disclosed. In one example, the method initiates, by a residential gateway of a subscriber premises, a test of an internet connection speed associated with the subscriber premises, such that the residential gateway and a test server are endpoints for an exchange of test data. A speed of the exchange of the test data is then measured.

A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The tunnel device is selected based on an attribute, such as IP Geolocation. A tunnel bank server stores a list of available tunnels that may be used, associated with values of various attribute types. The tunnel devices initiate communication with the tunnel bank server, and stays connected to it, for allowing a communication session initiated by the tunnel bank server. Upon receiving a request from a client to a content and for specific attribute types and values, a tunnel is selected by the tunnel bank server, and is used as a tunnel for retrieving the required content from the web server, using standard protocol such as SOCKS, WebSocket or HTTP Proxy. The client only communicates with a super proxy server that manages the content fetching scheme.

A network communications method utilizing a network watermark for providing security in the communications includes creating a verifiable network communications path of nodes through a network for the transfer of information from a first end node to a second end node; verifying the network communications path of nodes, by the first end node, before communicating by the first end node information intended for receipt by the second end node; and once the network communications path of nodes is verified by the first end node, communicating by the first end node, via the verified communications path of nodes, the information intended for receipt by the second end node; wherein the network watermark represents the verifiable network communications path of nodes.

Example systems, apparatus, and methods receive audio information including a plurality of frames from a source device, wherein each frame of the plurality of frames includes one or more audio samples and a time stamp indicating when to play the one or more audio samples of the respective frame. In an example, the time stamp is updated for each of the plurality of frames using a time differential value determined between clock information received from the source device and clock information associated with the device. The updated time stamp is stored for each of the plurality of frames, and the audio information is output based on the plurality of frames and associated updated time stamps. A number of samples per frame to be output is adjusted based on a comparison between the updated time stamp for the frame and a predicted time value for play back of the frame.
