A system and method for determining a social network. A metrics database stores virtual object indicia including document attributes, activities, and associated persons. A query engine responsive to a user request and the metrics database infers individual connections to the virtual object by individuals executing the activities. A visualization engine visualizes membership in the social network as including these individuals and the activities connecting them. The query engine further collects a plurality of documents having non-unique values on a first shared attribute into an aggregate, and the visualization engine further filters the social network to include only individuals having membership in the aggregate.

A system for providing interoperability of electronic games independently-operable from one another includes a network entity and a client. The client can interact with the network entity to play a master electronic game using shared attributes otherwise configured for use in a subordinate electronic game, where the client can interpret the respective shared attributes for use during play of the master electronic game. During play of the master electronic game, the client can receive a selection of at least one subordinate game from within the master electronic game. In response, the client can initiate the selected subordinate game for play using shared attributes otherwise configured for use in the master electronic game and/or another subordinate electronic game. Similarly, the client can interpret the respective shared attributes for use during play of the selected subordinate game.

End hosts share network performance and reliability information with their peers over a peer-to-peer network. The aggregated information from multiple end hosts is shared in the peer-to-peer network in order for each end host to process the aggregated information so as to profile network performance. A set of attributes defines hierarchies associated with end hosts and their network connectivity. Information on the network performance and failures experienced by end hosts is then aggregated along these hierarchies, to identify patterns (e.g., shared attributes) that are indicative of the source of the problem. In some cases, such sharing of information also enables end hosts to resolve problems by themselves.

For ray tracing scenes composed of primitives, systems and methods accelerate ray/primitive intersection identification by testing rays against elements of geometry acceleration data (GAD) in a parallelized intersection testing resource. Groups of rays can be described as shared attribute information and individual ray data for efficient ray data transfer between a host processor and the testing resource. The host processor also hosts shading and/or management processes controlling the testing resource and adapting the ray tracing, as necessary or desirable, to meet criteria, while reducing degradation of rendering quality. The GAD elements can be arranged in a graph, and rays can be collected into collections based on whether a ray intersects a given element. When a collection is deemed ready for further testing, it is tested for intersection with GAD elements connected, in the graph, to the given element. The graph can be hierarchical such that rays of a given collection are tested against children of the GAD element associated with the given collection.

If search result records from a database search have an attribute that at least two of the search result records share, but which was not used in the query, then categories are created to correspond to values of the shared attribute. The categories can be displayed in a user-friendly manner, as can a list of the search result records associated with a selected category.

Methods and systems for sharing content includes detecting a secondary device that is paired to a main device. The main device is used to render publicly viewable content. Each secondary device is associated with a user and is used to access and view content provided by one or more content sources over a network and share the content with the main device and with other secondary devices. Selection of a multimedia content for sharing, is detected at the secondary device. The selection causes the rendering of the multimedia content at a display screen of the secondary device. Share attributes defined for the multimedia content selected for sharing, is identified on the secondary device. The multimedia content selected for sharing is populated and is available for viewing on the main device and/or one or more secondary devices of other users in accordance to the defined share attributes.

System and method for evaluating an information aggregate. A metrics database stores document indicia including document attributes, associated persons and usage metrics. A query engine collects a plurality of documents having non-unique values on a shared attribute into an information aggregate and tracks usage metrics with respect to the documents. A visualization engine visualizes the usage metrics with respect to a single aggregate, or as a composite or comparison of usage metrics for a plurality of aggregates.

Certain exemplary embodiments relate to entertainment systems and, more particularly, to systems that incorporate digital downloading jukebox features and improved user interfaces. For instance, a smart search may be provided, e.g., where search results vary based on the popularity of songs within the venue, in dependence on songs being promoted, etc. As another example, a tile-based approach to organizing groupings of songs is provided. Groupings may involve self-populating collections of songs that combine centrally-promoted songs, songs in a given genre that are popular across an audiovisual distribution network, and songs that are locally popular and match up with the given genre (e.g., because of shared attributes such as same or similar genre, artist, etc.). Different tile visual presentations also are contemplated, as are different physical jukebox designs. In certain example embodiments, a sealed core unit with the “brains” of the jukebox is insertable into a docking station.

Embodiments of the invention provide a data access control method and system in a cloud storage environment. The method mainly comprises the steps that a user registers personal information to a cloud server through a client side; when a data owner determines that the data to be transmitted to the cloud server is shared data, the client side of the data owner uses a symmetric key to encrypt the data, and sends the encrypted data, the symmetrical key, a hash operation result of the data and a shared attribute of the data to the cloud server; when the data is not the shared data, the client side of the data owner uses its own public key to encrypt the data, and sends the encrypted data, the hash operation result of the data and the shared attribute of the data to the cloud server. Through adoption of the method and system, confidentiality and integrity of the user data are guaranteed, and confidentiality of the user files is classified, so that authority control under data sharing is better realized, and security improvement of data access control under cloud storage is effectively provided.

For ray tracing, methods, apparatus, and computer readable media provide efficient transmission and/or storage of rays between ray emitters, and an intersection testing resource. Ray emitters, during emission of a plurality of rays, identify a shared attribute of each ray of the plurality, and represent that attribute as shared ray data. The shared ray data, and other ray data sufficient to determine both an origin and a direction for each ray of the plurality, are transmitted. Functionality in the intersection testing resource receives the shared ray data and the other ray data, and interprets the shared ray data and the other ray data to determine an origin and direction for each ray of the plurality, and provides those rays for intersection testing. Rays can be stored in the shared attribute format in the intersection testing resource and data elements representing the rays can be constructed later. Programmable receiving functionality of the intersection testing resource can accommodate many ray types and other situations.

The invention belongs to the technical field of the simulation and optimization of a traffic system, and particularly relates to a multi-resolution modeling simulation system and a multi-resolution modeling simulation method for the traffic system. The system consists of a macro/meso layer, a micro layer, an interaction resolver, a consistency enforcer and a shared attribute core module, wherein input ends and output ends of the macro/meso layer and the micro layer are connected with the consistency enforcer respectively; the input ends of the macro/meso layer and the micro layer are connected with the interaction resolver; and the input end and the output end of the consistency enforcer is connected with an attribute core. When the system begins to operate, the flow is loaded onto various sub-entities; when the flow enters another resolution layer from one resolution layer, an upstream entity sends an external event to a downstream entity, and the downstream entity can decide the sequence of responding to the external event according to the condition; the consistency enforcer is responsible for ensuring that the macro/meso layer and the micro layer can respond to the external event respectively and keep the consistency of system state; after the response, the consistency enforcer can still be responsible for the difference of response results of the macro/meso layer and the micro layer; and output flow, velocity and density information are taken as the external event which is output to the downstream entity. The system and the method solve the problem of the maintenance of system consistency in multi-resolution simulation, provide a basic method and realization components for converting traffic simulation models with different resolutions, and further realize the macro, meso and micro multi-resolution simulation on the traffic system.

The invention provides a heterogeneous session access method and a related device, and aims to increase the session access efficiency. According to the heterogeneous session access method disclosed in the embodiment of the invention, the attributes of session data are divided into shared attributes and private attributes; the data type of the shared attributes is a character string; therefore, the shared attributes are accessed in the form of the character string; the private attributes are private attributes of various heterogeneous systems (for example, the private attributes can be user-defined attributes); the data type of the private attributes depends on requirements of the heterogeneous systems itself, and cannot be accessed by other heterogeneous systems; thereby, in the embodiment of the invention, only the shared attributes are in the form of the character string; the private attributes do not need to be converted into the form of the character string; therefore, the session access time expenditure can be reduced; and thus, the session access efficiency can be increased.
