摘要:
A method for providing enhanced programming to an entertainment module where the display of the enhanced programming is prepared remotely from the entertainment module. The method includes a step for analyzing a programming transmission stream deliverable to an entertainment module, remotely from the entertainment module, to identify whether the transmission stream includes at least one enhanced programming control signal. In the event that the transmission stream includes at least one enhanced programming control signal, a step for preparing, remotely from the entertainment module, a visual representation of the enhanced programming based upon the at least one enhanced programming control signal. Following preparing the enhanced programming by the preparing step, a step for delivering the visual representation of the enhanced programming to the entertainment module.

Systems and methods of sharing files and data in memory between the two operating systems running on a computing device. A main operating system (OS) may execute on the computing device an provide numerous system features and functionality. To conserver power, the main OS may unload, or the computer may be reset, suspended or be shutdown. Prior to doing so, the main OS writes data to a known memory location that allows access by a secondary OS when the main OS is not present. The secondary OS provides a limited set of functionalities, while being able to use and interact with the data stored in the known memory location. Information about the data and permissions are stored in mailbox that is accessible to both operating system such that changes made when the secondary operating system is active are synchronized with the main operating system.

A cellular telephone having an optical mouse component built into the telephone. The telephone is adapted to track when it was turned ON and placed on a suitable surface. The top of the telephone includes two buttons which are used as “left click” and “right click” buttons while the mouse optics are in use. These buttons could be used for other functions when the mouse optics were not in use. The telephone communicates with a user's laptop in any number of ways including being paired to it through Bluetooth or by being physically connected using USB. The same optics used for the mouse component are capable of scanning coded symbols and barcodes. Users can scan nearly any item and retrieve information from a locally stored database or from a network. Users can also scan unique IDs from phonecards or other references which cause action such as loading more minutes onto the phone, downloading other information or sending of information from the phone to take part in a transaction.

When users travel to an intended destination, a plurality of information can be beneficial to assist their travel. If a person is traveling to a crowded event, then information can be provided such that congested traffic areas can be provided. There can be financial opportunities available in relation to providing information concerning an intended destination. An advertiser can pay money to have information played about the advertiser when it relates to the intended destination. Furthermore, a user can pay money for detailed data concerning an intended location, such as where cheapest parking is located.
摘要:
A route can be generated through utilization of a conventional manner, such as a portable electronic device accessing a database with roads, traffic information, weather data, and the like. As a user approaches a private area, the route can be augmented with travel information concerning the private area. Artificial intelligence techniques can be used to determine if a route should be augmented, to infer what augmentations to make, etc.
摘要:
In a method of synchronizing with a separated disk cache, the separated cache is configured to transfer cache data to a staging area of a storage device. An atomic commit operation is utilized to instruct the storage device to atomically commit the cache data to a mapping scheme of the storage device.
摘要:
A display manager is configured to handle the drawing of windows on one or more displays for an application differently based on detected motion information that is associated with a device. The display manager may not display windows for some applications while motion is detected, while the display manager may display windows for other applications even when motion is detected. Motion enabled applications may interact with the display manager and motion information to determine how to display windows while motion is detected.
摘要:
Various devices may include a short-range wireless transmitter and/or one or more short-range wireless readers. When a first device including the transmitter is placed near a second device including the one or more readers, a relative location of the first device may be determined. Information regarding the relative location of the first device, may be used to facilitate use of the first device with a processing device. In one embodiment, the processing device may automatically configure itself, such that the first device may be used with the processing device. In another embodiment, the processing device may provide feedback, such as, for example, step-by-step instructions to facilitate setup and use of the first device with the processing device. In some embodiments, an application program interface may provide information about the device to an application executing on the processing device.
摘要:
Described is a technology by which a memory controller is a component of a hybrid memory device having different types of memory therein (e.g., SDRAM and flash memory), in which the controller operates such that the memory device has only a single memory interface with respect to voltage and access protocols defined for one type of memory. For example, the controller allows a memory device with a standard SDRAM interface to provide access to both SDRAM and non-volatile memory with the non-volatile memory overlaid in one or more designated blocks of the volatile memory address space (or vice-versa). A command protocol maps memory pages to the volatile memory interface address space, for example, permitting a single pin compatible multi-chip package to replace an existing volatile memory device in any computing device that wants to provide non-volatile storage, while only requiring software changes to the device to access the flash.
