Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention perform a preliminary scan for information automatically transmitted by available wireless access points. The information transmitted by access points (e.g., identity information) and information derived from the transmission (e.g., signal strength) is used to prioritize the available wireless access points before direct scanning takes place.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a host computing device includes an internal display and also includes a connector to connect to an external display. A cable is provided to connect to the connector and to connect to the external display. The cable includes video processing capabilities. For example, the cable may include a memory configured to store a frame buffer. The frame buffer may store a frame of video data for further processing by the video processing device in the cable. The video processing device may manipulate the frame in a variety of ways, e.g. scaling, rotating, gamma correction, dither correction, etc.
Abstract:
A communication link between a host device and a client device can be suspended based on a suspend request or notification provided by the client device. The suspend request can be transmitted by a client device to a host device if the client device determines that suspension is appropriate, and can be sent in response to receiving a polling request from the host device. After receiving a suspend request, the host device can initiate an operation to suspend the communication link between the devices.
Abstract:
A method for configuring a device includes receiving a first configuration profile comprising a first configuration and a first certificate and a second certificate, verifying the first configuration profile with the first certificate, receiving a user input indicating to accept the first configuration profile, configuring the device according to the first configuration, receiving a second configuration profile comprising a second configuration, verifying the second configuration profile with the second certificate and updating the device according to the second configuration, wherein the user is unaware of the updating.

Abstract:
At least certain embodiments of the disclosures relate to establishing communications between devices with a first connection. A second connection is established between the devices to transfer data between the devices and/or alter configurations of the devices. In one embodiment, a method includes establishing a first connection between a first device and a second device with a first networking standard and associated first network. The method further includes establishing a second connection between the first device and the second device with a second networking standard and associated second network based on the first connection providing information to at least one of the first and second devices regarding the second network. The method further includes transferring data between the first and second devices using the second networking standard. In one embodiment, the first networking standard is a Bluetooth networking standard and the second networking standard is a WiFi networking standard.
