    摘要: Described is a method and system comprising solution modules that allow a user to compose a customized computer system configured according to a user's needs. Modules may be by simply coupling them to a base computer system. Each module contains the hardware that enables a base computer system to accomplish a limited computing task, along with supporting software that is loaded to enable the base computer system to operate the hardware. The present invention thus provides an additive model, in which each module contains one or more hardware components, drivers and application programs, operating system modules, middleware and/or services that allow a user to compose a custom computer system. Examples of solution modules include an Internet module comprising a NIC and supporting software, a module that augments a computer system with digital video recorder capabilities, modules for advanced graphics subsystems such as for games, and others.

    摘要: Described is a method and system for power management of mobile computer displays, in which areas of the screen are selectively controlled to consume less power than other areas. For example, a foreground window having focus may receive normal brightness, while background areas are dimmed. To this end, the pixels of selected areas are controlled to vary color depth, resolution, refresh rate, brightness and/or the on/off state for any part of the display. Power settings for parts of the display not corresponding to a focused window can be gradually reduced over time. Power policy may determine which areas are given reduced power, and external mechanisms provide information useful in the determination, such as when the user last interacted with a window, where the mouse is hovering, explicit user instructions as to how to power manage a window, and sensors that detect where the user is likely to want more power.

    摘要: Described is an architecture by which application programs can provide data to auxiliary display devices of essentially any type for display to a user. A defined application layer (e.g., accessed via interfaces) allows programs to provide data to a service that controls the output of data to an auxiliary display device, and returns navigational data to the application upon appropriate user interaction with the device via actuators. Enumeration allows applications to discover the capabilities of a device, while arbitration determines which application has input-output rights to the device. The architecture further provides a protocol layer including pluggable protocol proxies that allow various types of displays to serve as an auxiliary display. This platform-like model allows program developers the ability provide programs that leverage auxiliary displays when available, and provides display manufacturers the ability to provide displays with extensible capabilities.

    摘要: A network security module for protecting computing devices connected to a communication network from security threats is presented. The network security module is interposed, either logically or physically, between the protected computer and the communication network. The network security module receives security information from a security service. The security information comprises security measures which, when enforced by the network security module, protect the computer from a security threat to the computer. The network security module implements the security measures by controlling the network activities between the protected computer and the network.

The network security module also temporarily implements security patches until corresponding patches are installed onto the protected computer.
