Scanning of computer files for malware uses a classifying technique to classify an input file as a clean file or a dirty file. The parameters of the classifying technique are derived to train the classification on a corpus of reference files including clean files known to be free of malware and dirty files known to contain malware. The classification is performed using a representation of the files in a feature space defined by a set of predetermined features for respective file formats, the features being a predetermined value or range of values for one or more data fields of given meanings. The representation of a file is derived by determining the file format, parsing the file on the basis of the structure of data fields in the determined file format to identify the data fields and their meaning, and determining, on the basis of the identified data fields, which of the set of predetermined features are present.

A user may resize, move, delete or add images to enhance the story. The story may be shared with others, some or all of which may also collaborate to add or change the story progression to provide different perspectives or content.

Disclosed is a mobile radio communication system in which a position registration area number is reported from a base station to a mobile station within a radio zone, position information indicating a position registration area in which a mobile station resides is registered in storage means based upon position registration information that has been transmitted from the mobile station, and when there is an incoming call to a mobile station, a paging call is placed from a plurality of base stations within the position registration area, in which the base station resides, based upon position information that has been read out of the memory means. Updating of the position registration area of a mobile station can be performed automatically on the network side without the mobile station transmitting position registration information to the network side. To achieve this, a rule for predicting the manner in which a mobile station will change a position registration area by moving is registered beforehand on the network side. Whether a state in which the rule is applicable has been attained is checked for every mobile station. If such a state is attained, the position registration area of the mobile station is updated based upon the rule.

Disclosed are a method and system for performing regression tests in a state-dependent data processing environment where data are processed by means of at least one function having a signature of defined parameters and corresponding values. A regression test is performed using at least one pre-determined set of test data and one pre-recorded function test case corresponding to said signatures and being used to execute said at least one pre-recorded function test case. The proposed mechanism particularly comprises the step of adapting said at least one function test case or said at least one set of test data to any changed signatures caused by a state transition of said data processing system. The mechanism thus provides automated regression tests in such a data processing environment and enables re-execution of a regression test in a changed context of the underlying data processing environment.

A digital camera function, such as can be implemented in a cellular telephone handset, and that includes automated segmentation of foreground subjects in acquired digital photos and images. Successive images are captured by the digital camera function at different flash exposure levels, for example using existing light only and using flash exposure. After alignment and registration of the images, luminance difference values in the two images are determined for each pixel, and the luminance difference values compared against a threshold value on a pixel-by-pixel basis. Those pixels with luminance difference values exceeding the threshold are segmented from the image as foreground subjects.

There is provided a storage system suitable for an open system which has advanced security functions for logical devices. In a storage system such as a RAID system, 6 types of access attributes which are Readable/Writable, Read Only, Unreadable/Unwritable, Read Capacity 0, Inquiry Restricted, and S-vol Disable, can be set for each logical device. Read Capacity 0 makes a response "capacity 0" upon inquiries from hosts about capacity. Inquiry Restricted does not permit the hosts to recognize logical devices. S-vol Disable does not permit pair forming for duplication of a logical device with another device as the destination of copying. Upon receipt of commands from hosts of the open system, the storage system changes command processes and responses, depending on the difference in operation system, vendor, version, or the like, between hosts.
