    摘要: A synchronization controller in a network of devices, provides content synchronization between the available content in the network and the content on another device. When the synchronization controller identifies the device for content synchronization with the home network, the synchronization controller attempts to match the device's content with content available in the home network. When there is a mismatch, the content manager starts a content session to transfer content from the device to the home network, or vice versa. During this process, the device need not know which home device it synchronized to, nor does it need to know what kind of format the content is stored in.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for extending functionality of a first set of classes and methods in an application hosted by a computing arrangement. A mapping is established that maps original class names in the first set to corresponding substitute class names of classes in a second set. The classes in the second set change the functionality of the classes in the first set. In response to loading a class file of a class in the first set, the original class names are replaced with corresponding substitute class names in the class file. Classes referenced by the substitute class names are then instantiated in lieu of classes referenced by the original class names.

    摘要: A locking system for securing an electronic device includes a locking signal transmitter anchored at a physical location away from the electronic device to transmit a locking signal. A receiver resides in the electronic device to receive the locking signal. A controller is coupled to the receiver and circuitry of the electronic device to virtually lock the electronic device at its location when the receiver keeps receiving the locking signal, and to disable the electronic device from being accessed after the receiver has stopped receiving the locking signal for a predetermined time period. The locking does not have any effect on functioning of the electronic device as long as the locking signal is received. When the device is unlocked, failure of the device lock to receive the locking signal also does not have any effect on the electronic device.

    摘要: A method of representing user tasks to be performed by one or more of a plurality of electronic devices in a task orchestration system. Each device includes therein a function description specifying a function that the device can perform. The function descriptions are obtained from one or more of the devices, task descriptions that describe device functionalities required for certain tasks are obtained, and task suggestion are generated based on the obtained device function descriptions and task descriptions. Each task suggestion represents a user task as an abstraction of on or more of the obtained device descriptions and task descriptions. The tasks suggestion are displayed on a display for the user to select from, wherein the user selected task suggestion is to be performed by orchestration (automation) of one or more of the devices based on task descriptions that use device functionalities described in the device function descriptions.
