摘要:
An authentication method and system is provided for asynchronous eventing between a client and a server over the Internet. In a subscription phase, the client sends a subscription request to the server to express interest in receiving notifications associated with one or more particular events that may asynchronously occur on the server. The client authenticates the server by checking the identity of the server, and if the client determines that the server can be trusted, the client subscribes the notifications, otherwise, the client does not subscribe. After a successful subscription, in a notification phase, the server notifies each client that has subscribed for a particular type of event. Each client upon receiving a notification, authenticates the server by verifying that the received notification is sent by the server with which the client subscribed for the notification.

An eventing method and system is provided that enables resource-constrained CE devices, at home, away from home, on-the-go, or behind a firewall, to communicate through asynchronous events with each other and/or with other type electronic devices, at home or on the Internet. Further, a scalable distributed system is provided that supports asynchronous eventing over the Internet efficiently and at low cost.

A method and system for authentication between electronic devices with reduced user intervention is provided. An authentication process for electronic devices (e.g., CE devices) establishes ownership for secure communication, with reduced user involvement. Device ownership trust establishment allows secured/authenticated communication between electronic devices. The process binds a device to an owner such that the authentication only verifies the authenticity of a device, and verifies the ownership of the device to ensure authentication. This ensures that a device is a valid device that has not been tampered with, and ensures a device has a trusted owner. Ownership binding to a device can be verified and established by trusted third parties without user intervention.

A method and system for remote access to UPnP devices is provided, which allows remote access to UPnP devices in a private network, and utilizes message forwarding at the UPnP layer. Existing UPnP control points can remotely access UPnP devices in a private network without modification to UPnP standards.

A method and system are provided for information searching based on user interest awareness. Information that represents user interest is obtained. One or more key terms are obtained from the user interest information. Then, a given query is enhanced based on one or more of the key terms for generating an enhanced query for searching.
摘要:
A method and system for access to information using search engines is provided. A search engine is selected for executing a query based on search engine characteristic information and the query. The characteristic information for each search engine includes information representing searching capabilities of each search engine. Selecting a search engine further involves determining a similarity between the query and the characteristic information for each search engine, and selecting a search engine based on the similarities such that a search engine with the highest similarity may be selected for executing the query and returning search results.

A communication method and system enables a mobile device to establish and maintain a secure connection to a server in a target network via connecting networks. The connection is maintained even when the mobile device hands off (moves) from one connecting network to another connecting network.

A method and system for providing services in a network including a control point and plural UPnP devices is provided. Surrogates are used to functionally replace the original UPnP device/service functionalities without new hardware or firmware/software updates. The surrogates enable proper operation in UPnP networks where devices that implement surrogates can coexist in the same network with UPnP devices that do not. This allows updating existing device functionalities without requiring new hardware or firmware/software updates.
摘要:
A method and system for generating location information for a network space is provided. Generating location information for a network space involves maintaining location profiles for spaces familiar to a client device, and performing location detection for the client device in a current space utilizing a signature of the current space and the location profiles. Location detection for the client device in a current space can also be performed utilizing information indicating the probable presence of familiar resources in the current space.
