20120133762 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING AND CLASSIFYING A DEFECT OF A SUBSTRATE - A method and system for detecting and classifying a defect of a substrate, the system including a first channel, including a first illuminating unit to irradiate a light to a substrate and a first imaging unit to take images by sensing a light from the substrate when it is irradiated; a second channel, including a second illuminating unit to irradiate a light to the substrate and a second imaging unit to take images by sensing a light from the substrate when it is irradiated; an image constructing module to construct two images of the substrate using the images of the first and second imaging units respectively; and an image processing module to detect, when the substrate has a defect, that the defect is a defect on or in the substrate, based on a relationship of positions where the defect of the substrate appears in the two images of the substrate. | 05-31-2012 |
20140114613 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DIAGNOSIS AND RECOVERY OF SYSTEM PROBLEMS - Embodiments of the present invention relate to method and apparatus for system problem diagnosis and recovery. According to embodiments of the present invention, problem symptom information in a system can be automatically monitored and collected BY a monitoring apparatus (or referred as to “agent”) deployed at the system side. Upon after receiving such information, the diagnosis apparatus, for example, may automatically determine a root cause of the problem by querying a backend knowledge repository, and possibly generate an executable software package for recovering the problem. If the diagnosis apparatus determines that the currently available information is insufficient to determine a creditable enough root cause and/or is insufficient to generate the software package for recovering the problem, the diagnosis apparatus may interactively control the monitoring apparatus to collect desired additional information. In this way, the efficiency and accuracy of problem diagnosis and recovery may be improved. | 04-24-2014 |
20140122637 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING CACHING SERVICE IN NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE - A method and apparatus for providing caching service in network infrastructure. In an embodiment, there is provided a method for providing caching service in network infrastructure, comprising: in response to at least one application node accessing data in a storage node, caching a copy of the data in a cache server; in response to the at least one application node accessing the data in the storage node, obtaining an identifier indicating whether the data in the storage node is valid or not; and in response to the identifier indicating the data in the storage node is valid, returning the copy; wherein the at least one application node and the storage node are connected via the network infrastructure, and the cache server is coupled to a switch in the network infrastructure. In another embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for providing caching service in network infrastructure. | 05-01-2014 |
20140150057 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOGNIZING IMAGE CONTENT - Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and apparatus for recognizing image contents. In one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method for recognizing image contents, comprising: providing at least a first image pair and a second image pair to a user; obtaining a first answer and a second answer from the user, wherein the first answer and the second answer respectively indicate the user's determination on whether the image contents in the first image pair and the second image pair are same or not; and modifying a weight of the second image pair in response to the first answer matching a predetermined answer. In one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for recognizing image contents. | 05-29-2014 |
20140164397 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SEARCHING INFORMATION - The present invention provides a method and apparatus for searching information. The method is for, in response to receipt of a keyword from a search user of a plurality of users, searching in an information repository to obtain one or more information items to be returned; and returning the information item to the search user based on an importance of each information item of the one or more information items. With the method, it is possible to fully leverage various objective internal relationships between search users, information items and creators and thus improve the search accuracy. | 06-12-2014 |
20140181982 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DATA PROTECTION - Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and system for data protection. A data protection method comprises: receiving at least one event prediction message from at least one message source, the at least one event prediction message being associated with an event that is predicted to occur in a future period of time; analyzing information, which is relevant to the event, included in the at least one event prediction message, so as to determine a risk level of the event with respect to the data to be protected; and determining a data protection operation at least based on the risk level and a predetermined event handling policy. There is further disclosed a corresponding data protection system. According to the embodiments of the present invention, it is enabled to voluntarily, dynamically, and flexibly handle high-risk events potentially damaging data, thereby better guaranteeing data security. | 06-26-2014 |
20140189419 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING COMPUTING RESOURCES - Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and apparatus for providing computing resources to a user. In one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method for providing computing resources to a user, comprising: in response to a request from the user, looking up in a profile repository a profile corresponding to the user's domain information; requesting at least one computing resource associated with the profile; integrating the at least one computing resource into a virtual datacenter; and providing the virtual datacenter to the user; wherein the at least one computing resource is physically deployed in a distributed manner. In one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for providing computing resources to a user. | 07-03-2014 |
20140189857 | METHOD, SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS FOR SECURELY OPERATING COMPUTER - The present invention provides a method, system and apparatus for securely operating a computer. The method comprises: obtaining presence status of an authenticated user, the presence status indicating whether the authenticated user is present in the vicinity of the computer; and triggering security operation in response to that the presence status indicates the authenticated user is absent in the vicinity of the computer. By means of the method, current status of an authenticated user who has logged in can be easily learned, and in turn, corresponding security operation is performed; in addition, when a user is performing sensitive operation, it can be confirmed in real time whether the user is an authenticated user who previously logged in, so that security of operating the computer is improved. | 07-03-2014 |
20140304299 | DATA MANAGEMENT IN A MULTI-TENANT DISTRIBUTIVE ENVIRONMENT - The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for data management in multi-tenant distributive environment. According to the embodiments of the present invention, a tenant-specific virtual metadata server may be created and registered with a task manager in a job processing system. The virtual metadata server provides a tenant-specific logical file system namespace. Any access to tenant data will be performed via the virtual metadata server. In other words, such virtual metadata server acts as an interface between a tenant terminal and an entity file system. In this way, it may effectively realize isolation of tenant data and enhance data security. Moreover, by using a virtual metadata server rather than physically isolating user data, the embodiments of the present invention may guarantee the efficiency of data sharing while improving the data security. | 10-09-2014 |
