摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for issuing instructions in a processor having a pipeline. A method includes providing a loop buffer for holding program loop instructions and a register file for holding loop control parameters; in response to decoding of a first loop setup instruction, marking a first entry in the register file as a current entry and writing in the first entry loop control parameters represented in the first loop setup instruction; marking the current entry in the register file as an architectural entry in response to the first loop setup instruction being committed; and sending a loop bottom indicator down the pipeline with a loop bottom instruction.

A mobile wireless communications device may include a wireless transceiver, a processor coupled with the wireless transceiver, and a near-field communication (NFC) device coupled with the processor. The NFC device may include an NFC controller, an NFC transceiver coupled with the NFC controller, and a first memory coupled with the NFC controller. The first memory may be configured to store at least one first application. The mobile wireless communications device may also include a second memory coupled to the processor and configured to store at least one second application. The processor may be configured to disable the NFC transceiver based upon a security condition, disable access to the at least one first application, erase the at least one second application, perform reset operation, and erase the at least one application from the first memory after the reset operation.

A user interface manager acts to cache state information and thread information provided to it by user interface modules, before the user interface modules cease execution. When a new user interface module commences execution, or the old user interface module recommences execution, the user interface module may request, from the user interface manager, the cached state information and thread information.

Communications between a computing device and a smart card reader configured for communication with a smart card are facilitated through the use, by the computing device, of a smart card resource manager and a smart card reader service. The smart card reader service acts as a relay for commands between the smart card resource manager and the smart card reader. Appropriate configuration of the smart card reader service obviates a redundant downloading of certificates from smart card to computing device subsequent to loss of a connection between the computing device and the smart card reader. However, upon re-establishing a previously lost connection to a smart card reader and determining that a communication link between a smart card and the smart card reader has been ended and reestablished during the loss of connection, the smart card reader service may indicate to the smart card resource manager that smart card is absent and, subsequently, that the smart card is present.

A user interface manager, interposed between a Windows service and user interface modules that communicate with the Windows service in distinct system status scenarios, can record interaction between the Windows service and each of the user interface modules. The recorded interaction, along with information collected from the user interface modules, can be used in conjunction so that user interaction with a first one of the user interface modules may continue with a second one of the user interface modules after a switch from one system status (e.g., logged on) to another system status (e.g., locked). Alternatively, responsive to the switch from one system status to another system status the user interface manager may simply stop the executing user interface module so that the interaction may be started over in the new system status.

A mobile communications device may include a near field communication (NFC) device, and a processor coupled with the NFC device. The processor may be configured to operate a first NFC applet and a second NFC applet, determine whether concurrent enabling of the first NFC applet and the second NFC applet will cause a compatibility conflict, and concurrently enable the first NFC applet and the second NFC applet for communicating data via the NFC device based upon a determination that concurrent enabling of the first NFC applet and the second NFC applet will not cause the compatibility conflict.
摘要:
A method and system for managing, from a communication device, a secure element for contactless transactions such as mobile payment applications. The communication device includes a memory for storing one or more device applications. The method includes determining that an application stored on the secure element does not have an association with any of the device applications, and in response to the determining, sending a communication to a server to delete the application from the secure element.

A network device may include a first memory to store a primary multicast tree state table for storing next-hop information for a multicast tree corresponding to a multicast stream; a second memory to store a secondary multicast tree, different than the primary multicast tree, state table for storing the next-hop information for the multicast tree corresponding to the multicast stream; a receiver to receive a data unit from a neighbor network device, the data unit including information regarding a next-hop in the multicast tree; and one or more processors. The one or more processors may update the primary multicast tree state table based on the information regarding the next-hop in the multicast tree, and update the secondary multicast tree state table, in response to the one or more processors updates the primary multicast tree state table, based on the information regarding the next-hop in the multicast tree.

Users of a computer are prevented from directly accessing certain hardware for which a driver is installed on the computer. The users are provided a limited, indirect manner to access the hardware for a specific purpose or to do a specific job. One example of such hardware is a wireless hardware communication interface. The wireless activity of the computer may be restricted so that the wireless hardware communication interface is prevented from communicating with any devices compatible with the wireless hardware communication interface other than one or more specific devices.
