Methods and systems for maintaining the confidentiality of data provided by an organization for storage on a third party database system are provided. The data can be encrypted on an internal network of the organization and sent to the third party database system for storage. The third party database system can associate metadata with the encrypted data and can store the encrypted data. Accordingly, when a request for the encrypted data is received from a computing device communicating with an internal network of the organization, the encrypted data and associated metadata can be sent to the computing device. A key that is stored on an internal network of the organization can be called through an applet, which utilizes information within the metadata to locate the key on the internal network of the organization.

The present invention discloses a method of automatically detecting and tracking a face by an electronic capturing device that alternatively uses a face detecting algorithm to quickly locate a face in a frame based on a skin color model and a face tracking algorithm to locate a face in subsequent frames by a nonparametric technique and a mean shift algorithm. If the face tracking algorithm cannot track and locate a face correctly, the face detecting algorithm will be used again to detect a face position in another new frame until the face position is located successfully, and then the face tracking algorithm will be used again for detecting and locating the face position in subsequent frames. After this method has detected a face position, a variable focal lens is used to slowly and smoothly refocus the frame including a face region, so as to obtain a clear face image.

The invention relates to a method for switching a mouse pointer among a plurality of displays. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring a pointer coordinate of the mouse pointer on a current display; judging whether the mouse pointer is positioned in a pointer switching region of the current display or not according to the pointer coordinate; when the mouse pointer is positioned in the pointer switching region of the current display, determining to switch the mouse pointer to a target coordinate of a target display according to corresponding relations of pointer coordinate switching among the plurality of displays, wherein the corresponding relations of pointer coordinate switching among the plurality of displays are determined according to neighboring relations among the plurality of displays and a resolution ratio among the displays having the neighboring relations; and switching the mouse pointer to the target coordinate of the target display. Through adoption of the method, free switching of the mouse pointer among the plurality of displays with different resolutions is realized through resolution corresponding relations among the different displays, and meanwhile the position of the mouse pointer is found rapidly through a pointer auxiliary positioning map.
