摘要:
Methods, devices and systems for wireless communication. A device user defines a list of contacts and receives a collective indication of which contacts are located within a neighborhood of the device. The neighborhood is defined at the device, for example by the device itself or by the user. A plurality of device users define respective user profiles including user attributes. One of the users defines a target attribute, and receives an indication of which other users that have that attribute have devices in the first user's neighborhood. The devices communicate among themselves either indirectly, for example via cellular base stations, or directly.

Methods, devices and systems for enabling a specific registered user to log into a computerized system having multiple registered users by continuously staring at a display associated with the computerized system for at least a pre-determined threshold duration, without requiring any input other than staring to initiate the login process, and without requiring the user to provide any additional login information or authentication information.

This patent application discloses methods and systems for alerting computerized motor-vehicles about predicted accidents. In an example method, a motor vehicle alerts another motor vehicle about a predicted accident, even though that accident is between the alerting car and a third motor vehicle—for example, the alert is transmitted by non-visual electromagnetic (EM) radiation. When an adjacent motor vehicle receives such accident alert and determines it might itself be hit, it will react so as to minimize its chances of being hit or at least to minimize the damage if it is being hit. Optionally, one or more of the motor vehicles has an onboard device for measuring a blood-alcohol level of a human driver thereof. The measured blood-alcohol level may be used to compute a probability of an occurrence of an accident and/or may be included in one or more of the transmitted accident alerts.

A storage device is configured to communicate with a host device over a Bluetooth connection. The storage device includes a flash memory, a processor, and a Bluetooth controller. The memory stores at least one permission for determining access to the memory. The processor manages access to the memory, independently of the host device, based on a comparison of a request at the removable storage device to access the memory to at least one permission. The comparison is independent, requiring no management by an operating system of the host device, such that if the at least one permission includes a particular access type that matches the access requested in the request, the processor provides access to the memory.
摘要:
An integrated communication system and method includes a primary unit and a secondary unit comprising transceivers for communicating therebetween and a communication management unit operable to manage communication with a telephone network. The system and method may be used to provide detachable headset units for a user to communicate via a communication management unit of the primary unit or for presenting useful second party related information to a user when communicating with the second party over a telephonic network connection. The system and method may provide a convenient system whereby a user may select between various communication devices to manage telephonic communication with a common client account.

A storage unit made of flash array and a USB controller, is implemented to be compatible with then USB specification. The unit includes memory modules which can accept write commands and read commands and are erasable and non-volatile herein referred to as flash modules. The USB/flash controller is configured to provide USB functionality and compatibility alone with common flash operations such as programming reading and erasing the above mentioned components. A USB flash memory device includes at least one flash memory module, a USB connector, a USB controller, and an identification structure for holding memory size and manufacturing type information of the flash memory module. The USB controller is configured to send and receive USB-defined data packets to or from a host via the USB connector, to extract operation codes and logical addresses from the USB-defined data packets, and to carry out at least one of reads, writes and erases in the flash memory module in accordance with the USB-defined data packets, and to interpret the operation codes into corresponding commands. The USB controller is configured to activate a respective memory technology driver in accordance with the memory size and manufacturing type information in the identification structure. The activated memory technology driver is configured to perform the commands on the flash memory module corresponding to the logical addresses.

摘要:
Code of a software product is delivered by embodying, on a computer-readable storage medium, installation code for installing the software product code on a computer and DRM code for permitting the installation only if a predetermined condition is satisfied. If the condition is violated, the installation code is erased and that part of the storage medium then is available for general use.
摘要:
A wireless telecommunication device including a foreground unit, and a background unit that is physically separated from the foreground unit and in local communication with the foreground unit. The foreground unit is provided to support incoming calls independently of the background unit. Furthermore, the foreground unit and the background unit cooperate to support outgoing calls.
