  • Enforcing access control in trigger-action programming using taint analysis
    Patent number: 10609044
    Abstract: One or more processors mark a set of data fields associated with a first trigger in a first trigger-action pair with a taint, where a trigger event triggers an action event in a trigger-action pair. One or more processors mark a first action associated with the first trigger-action pair with the taint, and detect a second trigger associated with a second trigger-action pair. One or more processors then propagate the taint from the first trigger-action pair to the second trigger, and prevent a second action associated with the second trigger-action pair in response to detecting the taint in the second trigger.

  • Regulating a power consumption state of a cellular radio
    Patent number: 10383055
    Abstract: A technique includes determining a consumption time for content received in a mobile device from a cellular network, where the consumption time represents a time at which the content is received in the mobile device to a time at which content associated with the received content is consumed at an output sink of the mobile device. The technique includes regulating a power consumption state of a cellular radio of the mobile device based at least in part on the consumption time.
