  • Publication number: 20240126928
    Abstract: A data security verification method and an electronic apparatus are provided. In the data security verification method, when the electronic apparatus is powered on, a verification circuit verifies integrity of an executable image in a storage device. If verification fails, the verification circuit stops a host processor from executing the executable image. If the verification is successful, the verification circuit releases a host reset, and a processor reads and executes the executable image. When the processor reads the executable image, the verification circuit re-verifies the executable image, and the processor executes the executable image according to a verification result.

  • Publication number: 20110230236
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an integrated system for remote monitoring home appliances by a cell phone. In the integrated system, a cell phone sends an instruction message to a computer by a wireless network. A digital control disk connected with the computer generates a control signal in accordance with the instruction message. The control signal is sent by a wireless transceiver circuit to a home appliance. Moreover, a state signal that includes information of the home appliance operation can be sent to the digital control disk. Through the computer connecting to the wireless network, the cell phone is informed of the information of the home appliance operation. Thereby, the user can control the home appliances and acquire the current operation states of the home appliances by his/her cell phone.
