  • Activation and monetization of features built into storage subsystems using a trusted connect service back end infrastructure
    Patent number: 9270657
    Abstract: Embodiments of systems, apparatuses, and methods to enable a value-added storage service of a storage system coupled to a client are described. In some embodiments, a system establishes a secure root of trust for the client. In addition, the system establishes a secure tunnel between an application of the client and a storage system of the client. Furthermore, the system securely downloads a license for the value-added storage service to the storage system and provides the license from the storage system to an application via the secure tunnel.

  • Method and apparatus to control the display of windows in a processing system
    Patent number: 8694914
    Abstract: A processing system may include a display device, a primary window manager, and an auxiliary window manager. The primary window manager may display a first remote-enabled window in the display device. The processing system may also include a program to generate a mouse-enabled window, and the primary window manager may prevent the mouse-enabled window from displaying in front of the first remote-enabled window. The auxiliary window manager may detect an attempt to display the mouse-enabled window, and, in response, may automatically display a second remote-enabled window in front of the first remote-enabled window. The second remote-enabled window may include an object that a user can select with a remote control to instruct the processing system to display the mouse-enabled window. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
