Abstract: A system and method for providing an online ordering machine that manages the distribution of products over a distributed computer system is herein disclosed.

Abstract: A novel personal electronic device includes a processor having first (embedded) and second (non-embedded) cores including associated operating systems and functions. In one aspect, the first core performs relatively limited functions, while the second core performs relatively broader functions under control of the first core. Often the second core requires more power than the first core and is selectively operated by the first core to minimize overall power consumption. Protocols for functions to be performed by the second core may be provided directly to the second core and processed by the second core. In another aspect, a display controller is designed to interface with both cores. In another aspect, the operating systems work with one another. In another aspect, the first core employs a thermal control program. Advantages of the invention include a broad array of functions performed by relatively small personal electronics device.

Abstract: First (embedded) and second (non-embedded) processors are energized by an energy source in a hand-held device. The second processor performs functions requiring more power than those performed by the first processor. The second processor is normally asleep and is awakened by the first processor and is empowered, when awakened, to perform functions. Only the portions of the second processor required to perform these functions are activated. Protocols for functions to be performed by the second processor are provided initially to the second processor and are processed in the second processor. They are then transferred to the first processor for storage. When the second processor is activated to perform functions represented by a protocol, the protocol is transferred to the second processor and the functions are performed by the second processor.
