Methods and apparatuses for providing service availability information to a waiting customer using the customer's wireless device are generally introduced herein.
摘要:
Techniques and structures are disclosed for allowing context-based searches to be performed from a wireless device. In at least one embodiment, a wireless device may append context-specific information, collected by at least one local sensor to a network search query to be delivered to a remote search engine when a network search is being performed. The wireless device may then receive search results from the remote search engine in response to the network search query that identify the elements of appended context-specific information that were used to perform the network search. The wireless device may then display these search results to a user.
摘要:
Various systems and methods for providing a trusted key access broker are described herein. A system may be configured to receive, at a trusted key access broker, from a requestor via a broker application programming interface, a request for a cryptographic key operation, the request associated with attestation evidence data; use the attestation evidence data to validate the requestor; in response to validating the requestor, translate and transmit the request for the cryptographic key operation to one of the plurality of key management systems; receive a response from the one of the plurality of key management systems; and transmit the response to the requestor.
摘要:
A method, apparatus, and signal-bearing media for communicating information relative to the location of a mobile device via an instant message. A mobile device may request information from an instant-messaging server, which personalizes the information to the location of the mobile device.
摘要:
A method, apparatus, and signal-bearing media for determining a presence rule for a mobile device and updating presence information for the mobile device when the presence rule is met. The presence rule may have a condition and a corresponding state. When the condition is met, the corresponding state is saved in the presence information. The presence information may also contain reachability information for the mobile device.
摘要:
Apparatus, systems, and methods may provide operating system-independent geolocation information. A compact software and/or firmwave environment may be established prior to loading and/or initializing the main operating system. This environment, sometimes known as a pre-boot environment, may determine geolocation information and/or may provide user access to configuration information and methods, even when the operating system is absent or unavailable.
摘要:
Methods, systems and apparatus are disclosed to facilitate client-based authentication. An example method includes associating an identity authority with a client platform in an isolated execution environment, associating a user identity with the identity authority, generating a first key pair associated with a first service provider, generating an attestation based on a first authorization sequence of the client platform, and signing the attestation with a portion of the key pair and sending the signed attestation to the first service provider to authorize communication between the client platform and the first service provider.
摘要:
An embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus, comprising a wireless device capable of integrating a cellular phone stack in an extended firmware interface (EFI) layer, wherein the cellular phone stack within the EFI layer may include TDMA or CDMA0-based technology. An embodiment of the present invention may further provide at least one agent running under an OS/EFI continuously monitoring said wireless device status, OS availability and remaining power and wherein anytime events occur where said OS is unavailable, missing, infected, corrupted or when the remaining power is less than threshold, the wireless device may switch itself to the low power secure EFI mode where it may continue to use basic cell phone services and applications seamlessly.
摘要:
A frequency spectrum measurement apparatus sweeps a desired frequency range using multiple scan lines. A controller provides a non-contiguous sequence of input values to a frequency synthesizer operating as a local oscillator for generating a non-contiguous frequency output signal over the desired frequency range with each value offsetting a current frequency output signal from a previous frequency output signal. A mixer receives an input signal and the variable frequency synthesizer signal for generating an intermediate frequency signal that is filtered through a bandpass filter. The power of the intermediate frequency signal output of the bandpass filter is measured and displayed. The frequency spectrum measurement apparatus is usable in measuring out of channel emissions of a terrestrial RF broadcast digital television signal.
