Abstract: Systems and methods that provide for voice command devices that receive sound but do not transfer the voice data beyond the system unless certain voice-filtering criteria have been met are described herein. In addition, embodiments provide devices that support voice command operation while external voice data transmission is in mute operation mode. As such, devices according to embodiments may process voice data locally responsive to the voice data matching voice-filtering criteria. Furthermore, systems and methods are described herein involving voice command devices that capture sound and analyze it in real-time on a word-by-word basis and decide whether to handle the voice data locally, transmit it externally, or both.

Abstract: An electronic device receives a stop position tag that indicates a stop position within first electronic content which is a first sensory type. The electronic device identifies a start position within second electronic content using the stop position tag. The second electronic content is a second sensory type that is different than the first sensory type. In turn, the electronic device executes the second electronic content at the identified start position. In one embodiment, the first sensory type is an auditory sensory type and the second sensory type is an image sensory type.

Abstract: An aspect provides a method, including: detecting a selection of an object on a touch screen display using touch based input; providing a visual indication of the object on the touch screen display in response to the detection of a selection; accepting gesture input at the touch screen display to fly out from the underlying document while maintaining the visual indication of the object on the touch screen display, such that during the fly out more of the underlying document is displayed; and moving the visual indication of the object about the underlying document in response to the accepted gesture input at the touch screen display. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: Methods and arrangements for ensuring that, when a computer system is stolen or otherwise misplaced, the system is rendered unusable (i.e., locked down). Conventional solutions have required software running on the system to perform the lockdown action, but in accordance with at least one preferred embodiment of the present invention is the linkage of TPM (Trusted Platform Module) and AMT (Active Management Technology) solutions whereby an AMT arrangement can remove secure data or identifiers so that any encrypted data present on the system will become unusable.

Abstract translation: 确保当计算机系统被盗或以其他方式错位时，系统变得无法使用（即锁定）的方法和装置。 常规解决方案需要在系统上运行的软件来执行锁定动作，但是根据本发明的至少一个优选实施例是TPM（可信平台模块）和AMT（主动管理技术）解决方案的联动，由此AMT布置 可以删除安全数据或标识符，使系统上存在的任何加密数据变得不可用。

Abstract: An approach is provided to join graphical user interface objects into a group. A request is received at a touch-enabled display screen to join a first graphical user interface object with a second graphical user interface object. The request is from a user of the system. The first and second graphical user interface objects are then associated with each other. The first and second graphical user interface objects are displayed on the touch-enabled display screen adjacent to each other and a visual indicator is also displayed near the objects that indicates that the objects have been joined in a group.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses and computer program products configured to provide sound feedback for input devices are described. Embodiments take input from a digitizer, such as input using as stylus/pen, and produce sound feedback to enhance the user's input interface experience. Embodiments thus provide a user with a more realistic interface with an electronic device, emulating use of conventional writing implements.
