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: This invention outlines a unique method and system where multiple accounts can be combined and user can access them from a single master account. Account holder or organization offering master account can define rule(s) maintained in a configurable table. Those rules dictate how a single transaction made to the master account can be executed using the combination of master account and child account(s). This technique enables a user to manage multiple accounts using a master account and an ATM/Debit/Credit card associated with the master account making universal card concept a reality. Such card is just like a regular card compatible with existing systems and usable wherever regular cards can be used without any added difficulties. This also disclose a technique to encode decode a sequence of transaction originated within a time segment to retrieve extra information that can be associated with the account.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention are directed at preventing a malware that exploits a vulnerability in an operating system from accessing services provided by the operating system. In one embodiment, a method is provided that determines whether a request directed to an operating system originated from a memory address space that stores data obtained from an untrusted source. In this regard, the method causes the flow of program execution to be interrupted when a request is received by the operating system. Then the memory address space allocated to the calling process that stores data obtained from an untrusted source is identified. If the return address where program execution is scheduled to continue after the request is satisfied refers or points location in memory that stores data obtained from an untrusted source, then the flow of program execution is scheduled to be redirected in a way that is characteristic of malware.

Abstract: When using a common configuration data structure (e.g., “registry”), the access redirector and entry reflector promotes compatibility and interoperability between differing versions of program modules.

Abstract: Described herein is a technology facilitating the operation of non-native program modules within a native computing platform. This invention further generally relates to a technology facilitating the interoperability of native and non-native program modules within a native computing platform. More specifically, this technology involves an emulation of the kernel of the non-native operating system. Instead of interacting with the native kernel of the native computing platform, the non-native program modules interact with a non-native kernel emulator. This abstract itself is not intended to limit the scope of this patent. The scope of the present invention is pointed out in the appending claims.
