Patent number: 12206701Abstract: An enterprise network has endpoints, which are computers with a computer program that needs patches to remove vulnerabilities. A plot of a percentage of vulnerable endpoints over time is generated. Patching cycles and residual phases are identified in the plot. A Residual Vulnerable Percentage (RVP) is determined from the plot, the RVP being an average of percentage of vulnerable endpoints in a residual phase. A Time to Patch Managed (TTPM) is determined from the plot as a time period from a beginning of a patching cycle to a beginning of a residual phase in the patching cycle. A performance indicator that is based on the RVP or the TTPM is compared to a corresponding reference to determine if a corrective action needs to be performed to address deficiencies in the efficiency and/or effectiveness of the patching process.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2022Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: Trend Micro IncorporatedInventor: Chi-Chang Kung

Patent number: 12207214Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for determining a tolerance specification of a clock synchronization between a touch display device (TDD) and a stylus. In the method, an accumulated timing error between the TDD and the stylus is determined based on crystal inaccuracies of the TDD and the stylus, connection interval of Bluetooth communication between the TDD and the stylus, and a number of consecutive failed transmissions of the Bluetooth communication. A total processing delay is determined based on a first processing delay and a second processing delay. The first processing delay is a time delay of sending a synchronization signal from touch driving circuitry of the TDD to Bluetooth circuitry of the TDD.
