Abstract: A mini-cloud system with a mobile device host has been described to enable subscription or service model for computing infrastructure, software, and digital content. The system enables a thin laptop, or tablet that can be stateless devices to connect to instances of virtual machines or virtual devices running on the smartphone or mobile devices. The system allows device consolidation to support a mobile environment to build devices used on the go as modular components by removing duplicative components to reduce cost or electronic waste.

Abstract: A mini-cloud system has been described to enable subscription or service model for computing infrastructure, software, and digital content. The mini-cloud system works as a pipeline for information delivery connecting end user, infrastructure provider, content provider, and retailer offering automatic provisioning of infrastructure, content life cycle management, automatic upgrade, servicing, and license managements based on subscription model. Mini-cloud system uses a subscription management component and virtualization host to back computing environment, then adds routing component to connect to back-end cloud infrastructure along with a digital content delivery framework. The system allows a user to subscribe in a computing environment, preferred software applications, and digital content like movie and pay like a monthly utility bill.

Abstract: A system and method is provided that makes sure the instruction sets executing on a computer are certified and secure. The system and method further facilitates a generic way to intercept the instruction loading process to inspect a loaded code segment first, before the computer gets a chance to execute the code segment. Further, a profiling component can monitor all executing processes running in a system and profile the behavior of the program. If the behavior is suspicious, established by a set of predefined rules, the profiler can take necessary actions to notify a system administrator and suspend or terminate execution of the program.
