An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a communication unit, a display, a memory and a processor. The processor implements the method, including analyzing activity of an application to identify at least one function of the application added, deleted or altered by an update to the application, and controlling the display to display at least one item selectable to provide additional information corresponding to the identified at least one new function.

The present information processing apparatus, in accordance with an operation input from an administrator, registers related information that relates to a predetermined application to be installed onto the information processing apparatus, and, in accordance with the registered related information, presents guide information for installing the predetermined application to a user via an operation screen of the information processing apparatus. Upon accepting a user input based on the guide information, installation information for installing the predetermined application is obtained from an installer provision server, and installation of the predetermined application is executed.

In some implementations, a system may receive dependency indicators associated with a plurality of cloud-based applications and receive change indicators associated with changes to one or more first applications of the plurality of cloud-based applications. The system may receive an indicator associated with an incident ticket based on a problem with a second application of the plurality of cloud-based applications. The device may determine at least one of the change indicators associated with the incident ticket based on dependencies between the one or more first applications and the second application and based on a difference between a time associated with the incident ticket and a time associated with the at least one of the change indicators. The system may, based on determining the at least one of the change indicators, transmit a command to rollback at least one of the changes or to rollforward at least one change.

A more efficient over-the-air software push can be facilitated by leveraging a smart scheduling system for vehicles. The smart scheduling system can use location and network capacity data to prioritize over-the-air software pushes for vehicles. For instance, a vehicle, which is only operational during off-peak wireless network hours can receive a software push during the off-peak times because wireless network capacity is not an issue. However, vehicles, which are used primarily during heavy peak wireless network times can receive software in a prioritized manner based on location data, frequency of use, network capacity, etc.

A method for controlling software needed to drive an in-vehicle electronic device includes receiving a data package including a plurality of partial data needed to update software of a vehicle and applying either a parallel update procedure or a sequential update procedure according to whether first partial data to be updated through a central processing unit (CPU) is contained in the data package.

An example embodiment includes an apparatus receiving a message from a proximate device via a short-range communication connection, including ID information associated with the device; compiling a request message including the ID and information identifying the apparatus; transmitting the request message to a remote server for accessing control to the device; receiving information associated with a user interface or control interface for interacting with the device based on remote server access control, the received interface being based on the information included in the transmitted request message; compiling an interface for enabling a user of said apparatus to interact with the device based on the received information, the compiled interface including access rights for interacting with the device via remote server access control, depending on the information included in the transmitted request message; and interacting with the device via the remote server access control using the compiled interface.

Systems/techniques for facilitating proxy objects for tracking processing of electronic coupon codes are provided. In various embodiments, a system can determine that a browser is performing a checkout on a frontend website. In various aspects, the system can cause the frontend website to instruct the web browser to transmit a validation request to a backend server, wherein the validation request identifies a coupon code and requests that the backend server determine whether the coupon code is applicable to the checkout. In various instances, the system can cause the web browser to append a proxy object to the validation request, wherein the proxy object fetches, during execution of the validation request by the backend server, an execution status of the validation request. In various cases, the system can receive, from the proxy object, the execution status and can initiate one or more electronic actions based on the execution status.

Disclosed are various approaches performing actions on data items in a third-party service with a network-accessible application programming interface from an email client. The email client can perform an action as specified fey an email service profile, which specifies how to identify the email message, the data item and how to interact with the network-accessible application programming interface.

A content receiver may establish a communication connection with an entertainment system component. Utilizing the communication connection, the content receiver may control the entertainment system component in order to synchronize user interfaces the content receiver is operable to provide with user interfaces the entertainment system component is operable to provide. Hence, the user interfaces provided by the various entertainment system components may more closely resemble user interfaces of the content receiver, reducing user confusion. The content receiver may synchronize such user interfaces by altering software of the entertainment system component. In altering the software, the content receiver may replace or modify the software to change one or more aspects of one or more entertainment system user interfaces to that of one or more aspects of a content receiver user interface. The aspects may include visual properties, audio properties, and so on.

Processing logic may monitor testing of a candidate service with one or more services to determine if one or more criteria are satisfied. The one or more criteria may be defined in a smart contract on a blockchain. In response to the one or more criteria being satisfied, processing logic may initiate a transaction of the blockchain which causes each of the one or more services to validate the one or more criteria. In response to the one or more services validating that the one or more criteria are satisfied, processing logic may promote the candidate service.
