A method for electronic commerce using a security token and an apparatus thereof are provided. The electronic commerce method using a security token comprises a transaction approval institution generating a security token based on a security assertion markup language (SAML), using credit information of a purchaser who requests to issue a security token, and transmitting the security token to the purchaser; the purchaser writing an electronic signature on an order and transmitting the order together with the security token to a seller; the seller verifying the received order and security token, and then delivering goods according to the order to the purchaser; and the transaction approval institution performing payment for the seller and the purchaser. The method can solve the problems of personal information leakage and privacy infringement that may happen when a purchaser sends his personal information to a seller for electronic commerce. Since the token is one-time-use data, even if a security token sent is counterfeited or stolen, the loss can be minimized. In addition, by writing an extensible markup language (XML) electronic signature in the security token, authentication, integrity, and non-repudiation for a transmitted message can be guaranteed and through simple object access protocol (SOAP) security technology, confidentiality is maintained.

A method for automatically detecting and tracking multiple targets in a multi-camera surveillance zone and system thereof. In each camera view of the system only a simple object detection algorithm is needed. The detection results from multiple cameras are fused into a posterior distribution, named TDP, based on the Bayesian rule. This TDP distribution represents a likelihood of presence of some moving targets on the ground plane. To properly handle the tracking of multiple moving targets with time, a sample-based framework which combines Markov Chain Monte carlo (MCMC), Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC), and Mean-Shift Clustering, is provided. The detection and tracking accuracy is evaluated by both synthesized videos and real videos. The experimental results show that this method and system can accurately track a varying number of targets.

In a service-oriented architecture, service requests and responses are processed in such a manner as to minimize the latency problems of existing protocols. Accumulated client service requests are packaged together with workflow information specifying the order of execution of the requests into a single message which is transmitted to the server side of the network connection. On the server side of the network connection, the individual requests are extracted from the message together with the workflow information and routed to the intended service providers, where they are executed in the order specified by the workflow information. Responses to the service requests are similarly packaged into a return message which is transmitted back to the client side, where the responses are extracted from the message and routed to the originating clients. In a preferred embodiment, individual requests and responses are conveyed as attachments to a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) message.

An arrangement, storage medium, and method are provided for accessing monitoring data from a storage arrangement of a processing system using a Web Service, in which the monitoring data is associated with a field device. For example, the monitoring data may be in an Extensible Markup Language (“XML”) format, and a Simple Object Access Protocol can be used to access a particular portion of the monitoring data from the database. Moreover, based on the monitoring data, the field device can be replaced before problems arise therewith.

Methods and systems for providing an application programming interface (API) to the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) are described. The API provides mechanisms for creating all parts of SOAP request messages, for sending the created messages over HTTP to a remote server, and, if the request is successful, for retrieving the response from the remote server, or, in the case of failure, for accessing whatever error information is available. The information passed through the API can be in the form of parameters which allows both the SOAP protocol and the applications that use it to change without requiring changes to the API itself.

The invention is a web enabled building temperature control appliance that receives data from the national weather service or from any other suitable source. This data consists of current temperature and pressure as well as forecasted temperature fluctuations. The building temperature control appliance would have a constant request / response process by using a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) to gain access to the National Digital Forecast Database or other such weather forecast database. The building temperature control appliance would not turn on if the forecasted weather was within a zone of comfort chosen by the users. The zone of comfort is the band of temperature within which a person feels comfortable. This band of temperature is usually between 66 and 74 degrees Fahrenheit. Rather than having the heat turn on in the morning to heat the home to a set temperature the building temperature control appliance would allow the sun and the ambient outside air heat the home. In areas where the nights are cold and days are hot the building temperature control appliance would not heat the home in the morning when the forecast was for temperature hotter than the zone of comfort. There are many similar scenarios where the building temperature control appliance would act differently than a commonly known thermostat based upon information about the forecasted weather.

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for implementing an Information Management System (IMS) simple object access protocol (SOAP) gateway. The gateway extracts an identifier from a SOAP-based web service request received from a web service client and selects a correlation mapping based on the extracted identifier. The gateway builds a modified web service request, updated with parameters from the correlation mapping. The added parameters allow the gateway to direct the web service request to a specific IMS Connect software product instance, a specific IMS software product instance, a specific IMS application instance, and a specific datastore. The gateway also returns a web service response containing response values related to the original request to the SOAP enabled web service client.

A mechanism lets a service consumer add mediation metadata in a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) message and lets a service provider perform server side mediation based on the pre-defined mediation metadata. A client side mediation engine is plugged into a client SOAP engine. When the client side mediation engine receives a request message from the client SOAP engine, metadata is attached to a message header of a SOAP message and returned to the client SOAP engine. A server side mediation engine is plugged the server side mediation engine receives a SOAP message from the server SOAP engine, metadata is mapped with an appropriate adaptor and returned to the server SOAP engine.

Reduces time for processing a request Simple Object Access Protocol, SOAP, message in a request means such as mobile equipment or the like. Sequence definition means divides one parent SOAP message as one request concerning a Web Service into segments of a Simple Object Access Protocol header and a SOAP body. Segment creation means creates the segment of the Simple Object Access Protocol body of the parent SOAP message and the segment of the SOAP header of the parent Simple Object Access Protocol message in this order. Sending means executes sending processing in parallel with creation processing by the segment creation means. Specifically, the sending means assigns one child Simple Object Access Protocol message enveloping the content of a segment to each of the segments, and sends each of the child Simple Object Access Protocol messages to the provider in accordance with a creation sequence of the segments.

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for reliably and securely transferring queued application messages. Application messages are (e.g.,. binary or text) encoded and then encapsulated in transfer messages, enqueue messages, and dequeue responses such that composable protocol elements used in application messages can be reused in the transfer messages, enqueue messages, and dequeue responses. Transfer message headers are encoded and then encapsulated along with encoded application messages such that composable protocol elements used in transfer headers and application messages can be reused in the store and forward messages. Application messages, transfer messages, enqueue messages, dequeue responses, and store and forward messages can all be configured in accordance with the same messaging protocol, such as, for example, Simple Object Access Protocol. Since encapsulated elements are encoded, the encapsulated elements do not interfere with configuration of wrapping messages.

Method and apparatus for performing disk diagnostics and repairs on remote clients. The method employs an embedded LAN microcontroller at a client to submit diagnostic commands to disk drives hosted by the client. Corresponding diagnostic data is returned from the disk to the LAN microcontroller, and an XML file containing the diagnostic data is generated. The XML file is then packaged as a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) message, which is bound to the Hyper Text Transport Protocol (HTTP), processed via an Internet Protocol (IP) microstack, and sent to a management server via an out-of-band (OOB) communication channel that is transparent to an operating system running on the client. Upon receipt of the SOAP message, the diagnostic data are extracted from the XML file using an XML schema application. A user may request diagnostics be performed for selected disk drives connected to selected client hosts, wherein the request is packaged as an XML file in a SOAP request message. Upon receiving the SOAP request message, the diagnostic commands are extracted from the XML file and submitted to the disk drive.

An application layer protocol is provided on top of HTTP 1.0 / 1.1 to allow for COM Automation objects to be invoked over the Internet through IIS / ISAPI servers. The format essentially encodes the automation object's name, method to invoke, and any [in], [out], [in, out] parameters that the method signature requires, packages them up into a custom MIME type and marshals it to the ISAPI dynamic link library (DLL) on the IIS / HTTP server. There, the ISAPI DLL contains the logic to unpack the SOAP request, parses it, creates the Automation object, invokes the method with the marshaled parameters, and then returns any [out] parameters to the caller / client using the SOAP protocol. It is a stateless protocol, meaning that object lifetimes only extend to one method, and are recreated between multiple calls to the object.

The invention provides a three-dimensional gesture action recognition method based on depth images. The three-dimensional gesture action recognition method comprises the steps of acquiring the depth images including gesture actions; dividing a human body region corresponding to the gesture actions from the images through tracking and positioning based on quick template tracking and oblique plane matching to obtain a depth image sequence after the background is removed; extracting useful frames of the gesture actions according to the depth images after the background is removed; calculating three-view drawing movement historical images of the gesture actions in the front-view, top-view and side-view projection directions according to the extracted useful frames; extracting direction gradient histogram features corresponding to the three-view drawing movement historical images; calculating relevance of combination features of the obtained gesture actions and gesture action templates stored in a pre-defined gesture action library; using a template with largest relevance as a recognition result of a current gesture action. Therefore, three-dimensional gesture action recognition can be achieved by adopting the three-dimensional gesture action recognition method, and the three-dimensional gesture action recognition method can be applied to recognition of the movement process of simple objects.
