    摘要: A system and method for providing real-time, dynamic switching between first and second service providers each capable of providing a service for users over a communications network. The method includes steps of: establishing switching criterion for deciding when to switch service provision between the first service provider and second service provider; maintaining state information associated with a user's use of the service provided by a first service provider; switching between the first and second service provided over the communications network based on satisfaction of the switching criterion; and, migrating any state information maintained up to the time of switching to the second service. Preferably, the dynamic switching occurs in a manner substantially transparent to the user.

    摘要: The present invention concerns methods and apparatus for implementing context-dependent security for files and other computer system resources. In particular, methods and apparatus of the present invention implement context-based permissions that are used in context-dependent file security. In examples of the present invention, the context-based permissions may allow access to a file only when an attempt to access the file is made at a certain time of day, or from an authorized computer system, or from a computer having a certain application program installed. In general terms, the context-based permissions may specify time, location and application information that either alone or in combination may be used to restrict access to a file.

    摘要: Methods and devices for securely providing personalities to reconfigurable hardware. Reconfigurable hardware is provided with one or more domains. At least one domain serves as a gatekeeper domain and another domain serves as a task domain. A service provider provides an authentication and security personality to the gatekeeper domain. The hardware is shipped to the user. A user then accesses the service provider via a network connection and downloads a task personality into the task domain, but only if the personality in the gatekeeper domain allows the download to take place. Once the task personality completes a task, the user may download another task personality into the task domain, if permitted by the personality loaded in the gatekeeper domain. The domains and personalities are managed and made available by the service provider.

    摘要: A method of transferring an image of a system or disk to a computer dedicated to performing a resource-intensive task, such as virus scanning, disk defragmentation or similar service. Once the dedicated computer has performed the task, the resulting image is compared to the current image of the client system or disk to produce an updated image. The client system or disk is then updated with the updated image.

    摘要: A virtual device hub, into which local devices are plugged, enables those devices to be virtualized locally and with a remote virtual machine. Those devices then appear as available to the remote application, and can be used, for example, to print a report being processed on the remote host to a printer located at the user's physical location. The user's virtual device hub is a small computer device with network capability that is able to access the remote virtual machine. When the user runs an application, the application is actually being run in the remote virtual machine.

    摘要: The present invention concerns methods and apparatus for controlling software patching activity in, for example, computer systems. Methods and apparatus of the present invention may implement a software shell and institute a patching policy to control patching activities. When implemented, the software shell acts as a barrier which permits patching of the underlying software only when the patching activity would be in accordance with the instituted patching policy. Various patching policies can be instituted in embodiments of the present invention. For example, patching may be done when convenient; or just before when the software requiring the patch is needed; or patching may be blocked to prevent unwanted software characteristics and/or behavior. In other circumstances, patching may be delayed until confidence has been established in a new patch so as to avoid disrupting a computer system that is already functioning in an acceptable manner. In still further circumstances, a particular software action may be blocked so as to avoid the necessity of having to patch software, particularly when the action may interrupt the orderly function of a computer system.
