An information processing system is provided. The information processing system comprises: an information processing subsystem including a processor and a processor support chip in data communication therewith. The processor support chip is operable to provide processor support functions for the processor, and comprises a local management entity. The system further comprises a remote management entity connected to communicate with a remote management network. The local management entity is connected to communicate with the remote management entity via a first management communication channel; and the local management entity is operable to monitor the remote management entity and, in response to detection of an error status of the remote management entity, to divert management communications to a second management communications channel bypassing the remote management entity to maintain communications with the remote management network.

A computer assembly for example for use as a network server comprises housing a host processor located within the housing and, a service processor also located within the housing for providing system management functions within the computer assembly. The housing includes a display that is located thereon for displaying the status of components of the assembly obtained from the service processor, and one or more manual switches located on the housing for enabling a user to vary information displayed by the display and/or to alter the status of the equipment. The computer assembly may include a console interface that communicates with the service processor to enable the system management functions of the assembly to be monitored and/or the status thereof to be modified from a remote console connected thereto in addition to or instead of by the display and switches.

Systems, methods, apparatus, computer program code and means for rating and pricing insurance policies are provided. In some embodiments, an automated insurance processing platform rates and prices insurance policies by including a territory factor in the calculation of a premium for the policy. Pursuant to some embodiments, the territory factor is calculated by receiving historical loss data, geographical data, and demographic data, analyzing the historical loss data, the geographical data, and the demographic data to identify data having similar claim behaviors. The historical loss data is analyzed to identify at least a frequency and severity of historical loss by coverage type. The frequency and severity of loss data, the geographical data, and the demographic data is iteratively analyzed to create a territory set having different geographical boundaries for the different coverage types; and the territory set is used to generate a set of territory factors for the different coverage types and the territories.
摘要:
A mobile phone that uses OS virtualization for minimizing power consumption in mobile phones is provided. Apparatus and methods may involve conserving processor power in a mobile phone according to the invention may include the following steps. A first step may be awakening a first processing core from a low power state in response to a first operating system (OS) thread. A following step may include processing the first OS thread using the first processing core. A next step may include determining whether utilization of the first processing core over a first time period has exceeded a predetermined threshold. The method may also include awakening a second processing core from a low power consumption state if utilization of the first processing core over a first time period has exceeded a predetermined threshold.

A method for validating the operational characteristics of a mobile phone is provided. The message may include sending a message from the mobile phone to network testing equipment. This message may alert the network testing equipment that a debug state of the mobile phone is enabled. The method may also include sending test data from the network testing equipment to the mobile phone. The method may further include receiving the test data at the mobile phone. The method may yet further include creating a log of received data at the mobile phone. In addition, the method may include using short message service signaling to send at least a portion of the logged data from the mobile phone to the network test equipment.
摘要:
A computer system is connectable to a network. The computer system includes a plurality of processing units, each of the processing units being provided with a respective network identity for communication with the network. At least one service processor is operable to allocate network identities to the processing units. A switch is provided for interconnecting the processing units to the network. The switch is operable to maintain a record of the network identities allocated to the processing units by the service processor and filters network access by each processing unit such that network access is blocked where a processing unit identity does not correspond to that held by the switch. By maintaining a record of the network identities allocated to the processing units by the service processor in the switch and filtering network access, access by a processing unit that has been changed or where its network identity has otherwise changed, can be prevented, maintaining the integrity of the network.
摘要:
The augmentation of contents of an electronic document with data from a search is described. The augmentation of data includes reading a search criterion from an electronic document, where a portion of the electronic document is comprised of the search criterion, retrieving data that matches the search criterion, and augmenting the contents with the retrieved data.
摘要:
The present invention allows originating equipment in a telephony network to originate multiple calls on behalf of a single user in response to a single user event. A user will provide multiple call indicia, perhaps in the form of a string of dialed digits, and a multiple call origination function located in the originating terminal, originating node supporting the originating terminal, or associated service node, will respond to the multiple call indicia as follows. Based on the multiple call indicia, multiple destinations associated with the multiple call indicia are identified. Multiple calls are initiated to the multiple destinations in a simultaneous or sequential fashion. A telephony connection for the call is established from the originating terminal to the first one of the multiple destinations to answer a call initiation attempt. If any other call initiation attempts are still in progress, they are stopped upon one of the destinations being answered.
