Instant messaging (IM) is a popular Internet application around the world. In China, the competition in the IM market is very intense and there are over ten IM products available. However, many of these products are not well accepted by Internet users and they only have small market shares. These companies are eager to know what factors determine user's acceptance of IM. In this paper, we examine...
Recent years, virtual communities (VCs) have gotten greater attention from researchers. In order to investigate how to build trust in such an environment (VC) and what influences this kind of trust would have on the consumers' behaviors, this study proposes a model combined trust building mechanisms and the consumer purchase decision-making process. Analysis of the data collected from Taobao Virtual...
Combining the advantages of the centralized P2P structure and the data-driven structure with scalable video coding, we propose an adaptive P2P architecture for live video based on scalable wavelet video coding over Internet. The core operations are simple: every peer periodically exchanges data availability and bandwidth information with the central server, acting as the centralized index, which selects...
Online advertising has enjoyed exponential growth in recent years, and many advertisements appear in the form of images. Although it makes considerable profit, these advertisements tend to disturb the Internet surfing of normal users. Moreover, they always bring extra burden in indexing to commercial image search engines. Therefore, it is necessary to automatically detect those advertising images...
A teleprogramming method is presented in this paper for the Internet-based teleoperation. Since the Internet introduces random communication delays, limit of bandwidth and data loss, several challenges, such as instability and loss of transparency, may arise. The proposed teleprogramming method is used to settle the problems caused by Internet. Based on the remote robot local autonomy, by transmitting...
