A system and method for connecting people in a social network using information from a user's digital address book. A social network member can friend a contact and be friended by a contact if she is in that contact's address book. An central server keeps track of friended members of the social network and contacts.

A system, method, node, user equipment and computer program for establishment of a secure connection between a user equipment (100) and a media gateway (130) at setup of a communication session with another party (150) is described. The media gateway (130) is controlled by a control server (120). The control server (120) receives a communication session setup request from the user equipment (100) and determines an indication of a security certificate of the media gateway (130). The control server (120) then sends the indication of the security certificate of the media gateway (130) to the user equipment (100), wherein the indication is sent before or in parallel to sending the communication session setup request towards said other party (150). The user equipment (100) then initiates a negotiation of security related parameters, based on the received indication of the security certificate of the media gateway (130). Then the secure connection between the user equipment (100) and the media gateway (130) is established, utilizing the negotiated security related parameters.

A method includes: receiving a request at a Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) Location Platform (SLP) for location-related service; producing a positioning method SUPL message that includes a posmethod parameter that includes a positioning protocol indicator indicating that SET capability transfer and positioning method selection are to be conducted in a positioning protocol layer; and sending the positioning method SUPL message from the SLP to a SUPL Enabled Terminal (SET) using a SUPL User Plane Location Protocol (ULP).

An apparatus for transmitting broadcast signals, an apparatus for receiving broadcast signals, a method for transmitting broadcast signals, and a method for receiving broadcast signals are disclosed. A method for receiving a broadcast signal comprising receiving a broadcast signal, parsing a second packet at the received broadcast signal, parsing the first packet using the fixed header and/or the extended header and displaying broadcast contents by processing the parsed first packet is disclosed.

Systems and methods for hosted application marketplaces in accordance with embodiments of the invention are described. In one embodiment, a hosted application marketplace server system includes a processor and a memory storing hosted application marketplace application, wherein the hosted application marketplace application directs the processor to obtain request data describing a request for hosted application data, wherein the request data includes user profile data and computing device capability data, identify a computing device based on the user profile data, determine compatible application data based on the request data, wherein the compatible application data identifies a set of applications that are compatible with the computing device based on the computing device capability data, generate hosted application data based on the compatible application data; and transmit the hosted application data in response to the obtained request data.

In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a system for auto-negotiation over extended backplane includes an enclosure and a switch external to the enclosure. The enclosure has a NIC (network interface controller) for a server in the enclosure and a DEM (downlink extension module). The DEM has a single DEM PHY connected to the NIC via a backplane and also connected to the switch via an external connection. The DEM PHY facilitates auto-negotiation between the switch and the NIC.

One embodiment includes a system. The system includes a receiver configured to extract a timestamp from a header of each packet of a data stream received from a network and to de-packetize the data stream to provide a stream of data blocks. The timestamp can correspond to generation of each data block associated with each respective packet of the data stream according to a global timebase. The system also includes a delay controller configured to measure a delay associated with each packet of the data stream based on the timestamp relative to the global timebase and to control converting the data stream to a corresponding analog output signal for transmission based on the measured delay.

The present disclosure provides a touch monitoring method, a touch monitoring device, and a terminal. The touch monitoring method includes steps of: acquiring a plurality of touch operations performed by a user within a predetermined time period at a predetermined touch region of a terminal; acquiring attribute information corresponding to each touch operation; and prompting the user in accordance with the attribute information corresponding to the touch operations. The touch monitoring device includes an operation acquisition module, an attribute information acquisition module and a prompt module.

The invention concerns a communication method in a home network comprising at least two devices connected to a communication bus, characterized in that, a first device including an internet application and a second device including means for connecting to the internet, said second device being able to manage at least one internet application protocol, said method comprises the steps of: sending a request from said first device to said second device for opening a connection between said first and second devices, wherein said request contains an internet application protocol identifier to identify the internet application protocol to be used over said connection; sending an internet protocol request under the format of said internet application protocol from said first device to said second device; forwarding said internet protocol request from said second device to an internet server; upon receipt; transferring a response from said internet server to said first device through said second device over said communication bus. The invention also concerns a network and a device for implementing the method above.

A secure communications method includes: receiving, by a first network device, a second ephemeral public key of a second network device; determining, by the first network device, an ephemeral session key based on a first shared key, a first ephemeral secret key of the first network device, and the second ephemeral public key, where the first shared key is shared between the first network device and the second network device; and performing, by the first network device, secure communication with the second network device based on the ephemeral session key.
