摘要： Multi-function devices expose multiple functions to device drivers or other lower-level software. Device function providers can interface with such drivers or lower-level software and can provide information, including device identifiers regarding such functions, to a device display object infrastructure. A device display object can then be created that encompasses one or more functions such that, in one embodiment, the device display object corresponds to a single, physical multi-function device. Alternatively, any combination of functionality from one or more physical devices can be combined into a single device display object representing a virtual multi-function device. Properties of the device display object can be set with reference to user-specified settings, remotely maintained metadata, locally available metadata, and information associated with each function. Functions can be ranked such that, if there is a conflict, information from more highly ranked functions is used to set the properties of the device display object.

摘要： A computer system that recognizes multi-function devices and associates functions with multi-function devices. Each multi-function device may be represented by a multi-function object, allowing tools, applications or other components within the computer to take actions relating to the entire device or relating to a function based on the association of that function with other functions in the same device. These actions include displaying information about devices, instead of or in addition to information about functions. Actions also include selecting functions based on proximity within a device. Functions may be associated with a multi-function device using a unique device identifier provided by the device or generated for the function based on a connection hierarchy between functions and the computer. Devices may be configured to provide the same identifier regardless of the transport over which the device is accessed.

摘要： A computer system that accesses multi-transport devices and associates device instances of the multi-transport device with each other. Devices provide the same device identifier such as a device unique identifier regardless of the transport over which the device is accessed. A visual representation for the multi-transport device may be provided to a user using the device identifier. Also, a single functional representation for the multi-transport device may be provided based on an identifier provided by each function of the device. The functional representation may be independent of the addition and removal of transports and allows abstracting device access via multiple transports from a user and an application. Transports may be selected at an application and/or a system level. Operating characteristics of available transports may be used to select a desired transport, based on transport requirements specified by the application, the user or the system.

摘要： In one or more embodiments, hardware configuration state data for specialization of a portable installation of an operating system may be stored on a per hardware configuration basis. Specializations may include designation of boot start drivers, driver settings, device settings, and other state data that may vary based on hardware configurations of different machines on which the portable operating system is loaded. In a pre-boot environment, an identity of the current computing device is resolved and used to look-up corresponding hardware configuration state data that is available. When booting of the operating system on a new computing device is detected, the operating system is loaded using default state settings. An optimization routine may then be performed to create and store hardware specific hardware configuration state data for the computing device that defines specializations for subsequent boots of the operating system on the computing device.

摘要： A firmware update system is described that collectively handles firmware updates for hardware resources of a computing device. The firmware update system may be configured to handle firmware updates in a consistent manner across different computing platforms/architectures. A data structure is defined to associate each updateable resource with a corresponding identifier to enumerate the updateable resources to the firmware update system. The firmware update system may reference the data structure to produce representations of the each individual resource that provide an operating system level abstraction through which detection, analysis, acquisition, deployment, installation, and tracking of firmware updates is managed. Using the representations, the firmware update system operates to discover available firmware updates collectively for the enumerated resources, match the updates to appropriate resources, and initiate installation of the updates.

摘要： The subject invention relates to systems and methods that automatically monitor computer platform components and initiate automated resource recovery procedures based on detected periods of component inactivity. In one aspect, an automated maintenance system for computer resources is provided. The system includes a controller that monitors installation and removal of system components that cooperate to facilitate various operations of a computer. A threshold component supplies time out or decay values for the devices to determine inactive periods of the devices, whereby the controller removes persistent memory references for the devices based in part on the time out values. Supervisory threshold functions can be provided to cause the system to perform maintenance operations at other desired intervals in order to allow periods of device inactivity while maintaining desired component information on the respective system.

摘要： A computer with cached pre-assembled device configurations for a faster and more reliable user experience. Pre-assembled device configurations may be obtained in a variety of ways, for example, by pre-processing installation information obtained from driver packages, or by being retrieved from a suitable source. Pre-processing driver packages may involve, for example, copying binary files to their run-time locations and computing settings for the device and driver. The pre-processed device configuration settings may be cached and indexed in a database. When a device connects to the computer, a cached device configuration may be applied to the device without performing a full installation process. Pre-assembly of device configurations may be performed before a device first connects to the computer, for example, upon detecting an applicable driver or during manufacture of the computer, and is not restricted to being performed on the same computer on which the device configuration will be used.
