Abstract: Exchanging data between a SIM device and an application executed in a trusted platform, wherein the data to be exchanged is secured from unauthorized access. In one embodiment, the exchanging data includes exchanging an encryption key via a trusted path within a computer system, and exchanging data encrypted with the encryption key, via an untrusted path with the computer system.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention provides a method comprising storing user authentication information in a hardware structure of a computer system, the hardware structure including a security mechanism to protect the stored authentication information from unauthorized access, and authenticating a user of the computer system by comparing user input authentication information with the stored authentication information.

Abstract: A Bluetooth based security system utilized to provide ad-hoc security services to secured assets. Such a Bluetooth based security system comprises a secured device (SD) equipped with Bluetooth (BT) technology; a plurality of Bluetooth Access Points (BTAPs) located at designated points to establish a BT link with the secured device (SD); and a security server (SS) connected to all BTAPs and arranged to provide access control and security services for the secured device (SD), wherein the security server (SS) obtains attribute information of the secured device (SD), including an unique device identification (ID) and a last known location of the secured device (SD), activates a lock with the secured device (SD), and sends location information of a designated BTAP and an unlock code to the secured device (SD), via the designated BTAP.

Abstract: A mobile computer system such as mobile PC operable between a normal, stationary mode and a Navigation mode for optimal system performance and power management for mobile applications.

Abstract: At least two types of wireless devices may be simultaneously handled in a system (i.e., on a wireless-enabled platform (e.g., Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11) in a personal computing environment, such as a personal computer system) in a way that substantially mitigates interference between the wireless devices interfacing therewith. To mitigate cross-interference among multiple radio frequency device types while operating in tandem or concurrently, in a wireless communication-enabled personal computer system, transmission and/or reception from and to all radio frequency device types but the active one radio frequency device type may be selectively blocked. In one embodiment, gating signals from at least two active wireless transceivers may be detected. Using the type information of the active wireless transceivers, a priority may be assigned to each active wireless transceiver. Pending transactions associated with each active wireless transceiver may also be tracked.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention an apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises a positioning mechanism to determine a position of the apparatus; a baseband module comprising a plurality of network interfaces each supporting a network communications protocol; a determining mechanism to determine which communications networks are operative at the position of the apparatus; a selection mechanism to select one of the operative communications networks; and a connection mechanism to seamlessly connect the apparatus to the selected communications network using one of the network interfaces.

Abstract: The determination of the physical location of a device and, more particularly, to the determination of the physical location of a mobile client device operating on a wireless local area network (WLAN).

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to configuring the operation of a device based upon a selected location mode, and more specifically configuring the operation of the device based on a location mode selected by a graphical control element.
