The disclosed example apparatus also includes an actuator to collect a second set of telemetry data associated with the computing device in response to the trigger, the second set of telemetry data collected based on the policy file. The disclosed example apparatus further includes a data reporter to report the telemetry data timeline and the second set of telemetry data to a server in response to a request.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for an automated modular and secure boot firmware update. An updated boot firmware code module is received in a secure partition of a system, the updated boot firmware code module to replace one original boot firmware code module for the system. Only the one original boot firmware code module is automatically replaced with the updated boot firmware code module. The updated boot firmware code module is automatically executed with the plurality of boot firmware code modules for the system and without user intervention when the system is next booted. The updated boot firmware code module may be written to an update partition of a firmware volume, wherein the update partition of the firmware volume is read along with another partition of the firmware volume containing the plurality of boot firmware code modules when the system is booted.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus to reconfigure a computer are disclosed. An example electronic device includes at least one memory, instructions in the electronic device, and processor circuitry to execute instructions to analyze data corresponding to a first configuration of the electronic device to detect a change associated with the electronic device, the first configuration corresponding to a respective first user profile, determine a second configuration of the electronic device based on the detected change, and adjust a configuration of the electronic device from the first configuration to the second configuration.
Abstract:
The present disclosure pertains to a sound generation device with proximity control. In general, a device may include sound generation functionality that may be controlled based on proximity sensing. The device may be, for example, a lighting device including circuitry to generate sound based on audio data received from a source outside of the device. Sensing circuitry in the device may generate sensor data that indicates when a user is proximate to the device. Control circuitry in the device may then control the sound generation based on sensor data. Various operations in the device may be based on the sensor data indicating that a user is proximate to the device, the identity of the user, that a certain condition has occurred, etc.
Abstract:
Systems and methods may provide for detecting an event on a computing device having an embedded keyboard with a default mapping of keys to functions and disabling a first subset of keys on the embedded keyboard in response to the event. Additionally, a second subset of keys on the embedded keyboard may be re-mapped to one or more different functions if an application running on the computing device supports keyboard re-mapping. In one example, re-mapping the second subset of keys includes grouping two or more keys in the second subset into a common function.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed that improve sleep state demotion with a hardware power monitor. An example apparatus includes memory, and processor circuitry to perform at least one of the operations to instantiate: detector circuitry to detect power output data of the computing device via a hardware power monitor, power analyzer circuitry to determine the power output data for sleep states of the computing device based on multiple wake intervals, identifier circuitry to identify crossover thresholds at ones of the multiple wake intervals, and controller circuitry to limit the computing device to the crossover thresholds at ones of the multiple wake intervals.
Abstract:
