    摘要: A cable distribution system that includes a head end connected to a plurality of customer devices through a transmission network that includes a remote fiber node that converts digital data to analog data suitable for the plurality of customer devices. The remote fiber node includes a processor. The remote fiber node receives a software image containing (i) a hardware image, (ii) a primary boot loader, (iii) a kernel, (iv) a software dataplane for a dataplane, and (v) software applications for a control plane. Based upon the file name of the software image selectively using at least some of (i) a hardware image, (ii) a primary boot loader, (iii) a kernel, (iv) a software dataplane for a dataplane, and (v) software applications for a control plane, in resetting the remote physical device.

    摘要: Network device, system, method and computer readable medium for video content processing. The network device includes a memory having instructions stored thereon, and a processor configured to execute the instructions to cause the network device: to acquire a main video and a plurality of video stream segments, wherein the plurality of video stream segments are generated by preprocessing a video bullet screen by a server, and the preprocessing comprises jointly dividing the video bullet screen in time and space so that the plurality of video stream segments continuously translate in space by frame with time, the area of the screen used for playing the plurality of video stream segments is divided into continuous N picture units in the horizontal direction, each picture unit is used for playing the corresponding video stream segments, and the time from the left edge of the first frame of the corresponding video stream segment entering the picture unit from the right side of the picture unit to the left edge of the kth frame leaving the picture unit from the left side of the picture unit is T; decoding the main video by a main decoder of the network device; decoding video stream segments corresponding to odd-numbered picture units by a first sub-decoder of the network device, and decoding video stream segments corresponding to even-numbered picture units by a second sub-decoder of the network device; and playing the main video and the plurality of video stream segments.

    摘要: A system and method for workforce scheduling using dynamic capacity ranges are provided. A capacity model associates distances of locations within a service area from a depot with a series of appointment time windows such that appointment time windows having a relatively greater amount of available worker capacity are associated with a greater range of distances than appointment time windows having a relatively smaller amount of available worker capacity. After a distance from the depot to a location of an appointment to be scheduled is determined, appointment time window suggestions are automatically produced based on which appointment time windows as defined in the capacity model are associated with the location of the appointment to be scheduled. As capacity changes due to bookings, the capacity model is dynamically updated. A system and method for workforce routing, based at least in part on using dynamic capacity ranges, are also provided.

    摘要: Exemplary embodiments are directed to an apparatus dedicated to controlling a specified multimedia device for viewing programming content. The apparatus has an input interface configured for capturing a fingerprint of a user. The apparatus also includes memory for storing a plurality of user identification files. Each user identification file including data associated with at least one reference fingerprint of a respective user. A processor compares the captured fingerprint with at least one reference fingerprint stored in memory, and generates a control signal based on a result of the comparison. The control signal can include user profile identifier associated with the captured fingerprint and command data for instructing the multimedia device to generate a customized or default user interface for the identified user to view or access programming content. The control signal is transmitted to a multimedia device.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a description of systems and methods for providing guidance to adjust settings of a router. A mobile device receives user input to aid in establishing a connection between a media storage device and a media player device via a network. The media storage device and the media player device are unable to discover one another via the network. The mobile device transmits, to a router providing the network, a request for current settings information of the router. In response, the mobile device receives, from the router, the current settings information of the router. The mobile device determines, from the current settings information of the router, whether one or more settings are preventing the media storage device and the media player device from discovering one another via the network. The mobile device then generates a window providing options for guidance to change settings of the router.

    摘要: Network devices include a memory and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to determine a connection state of one or more first client devices, and in response to the determination that none of the one or more first client devices are connected to the wireless network for a predetermined time period, cause one or more second client devices currently connected to network devices other than a predetermined network device in the wireless network to connect to the predetermined network device. The network devices other than the predetermined network device turn off their wireless access function such that the wireless access function of only the predetermined network device is kept on.
