摘要:
An electronic device having a multi-environment operating system (OS) is disclosed. The electronic device creates a web session and/or updates a browser configuration in a first OS environment based on a web session and/or a browser configuration in a second OS environment. The web session is created and/or the browser configuration is updated when a primary OS environment transitions from the second OS environment to the first OS environment. The transition may occur when the device transitions from a docked mode to a mobile mode, or from a mobile mode to a docked mode.

A mechanism for protecting software and computing devices from unintentional pre-release disclosure (“leak”) is provided that includes applying a security enhancement to an object on the graphical user interface of the computing device such that the object can be used to visually determine the origin of the leak without obstructing the user's experience or being easily detected or defeated.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for modifying resource usage by a computing system including a first environment and a second environment is disclosed. A status signal is received and applications executed by the first environment and by the second environment are monitored. The status signal may indicate whether the computing system is coupled to an external device. It is determined whether a first application is executed by the first environment and by the second environment. Responsive to determining the first application is executed by the first environment and by the second environment, an amount of resources allocated to the first application by each of the environments is calculated. Based on the first amount of resources allocated by the different environments, execution of the first application by the first environment or by the second environment is halted.

In embodiments of system timeout reset based on media detection, an electronic device includes an interface connection that couples the electronic device to a peripheral. A power manager application is implemented to timeout the interface connection if user interaction with the electronic device is not detected for a timeout duration. A media data monitor is implemented to detect audio data in an audio channel of the interface connection, and initiate a reset of the timeout duration responsive to the audio data being detected. Video can continue to be rendered by the peripheral if the audio data is detected to initiate the reset of the timeout duration.

A method in a portable electronic device (100) of authenticating enhanced wide area network data usage capabilities is provided. Data communication between the portable electronic device and a wide area network (104) is detected, along with commencement a dual-operating system hybrid environment (111). The dual-operating system hybrid environment can include a first operating system environment (114) operable to communicate with the wide area network at a restricted data rate and a second operating system environment (116) operable to communicate with the wide area network at either the restricted data rate or an enhanced data rate. A verification whether the portable electronic device is authorized to communicate with the wide area network at the enhanced data rate is then performed. Where true, the second operating system environment can be configured to communicate with the wide area network at the enhanced data rate.

摘要:
Disclosed are methods for consistent navigation among higher-level and lower-level windows on a device's display screen. A user can consistently navigate from one higher-level window to another and use the same navigation tools to navigate among the lower-level windows (if any) within a higher-level window. Some embodiments present a set of small “overviews” to the user. Each overview corresponds to one of the higher-level windows. In addition to the set of overviews, a larger “preview” can be shown of the window with focus. If the window with focus contains lower-level windows, then the preview can include “snapshots” of those lower-level windows. In some embodiments, a “title bar” provides more information about the window with focus, such as the title of that window. When a lower-level window is currently active within the higher-level window with focus, the title bar can show information about that active lower-level window.
