Mechanism to avoid unintentional user interaction with a convertible mobile device during conversion
Patent number: 10209824Abstract: A device includes control logic, at least a portion of which is implemented in hardware, to process motion data, the motion data collected from a first accelerometer in a base unit and from a second accelerometer in a display panel attached to a base unit of a mobile device, to determine whether the display panel moves relative to the base unit and to temporarily ignore or disable one or more input devices of the mobile device for a predetermined period of time to avoid unintentional user interaction with the mobile device during the movement of the display panel.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2018Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: David M.

Patent number: 7028179Abstract: An apparatus and method for secure, automated response to distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are described. The method includes notification of a DDoS attack received by an Internet host. Once received by an Internet host, the Internet host establishes security authentication from an upstream router from which the attack traffic, transmitted by one or more host computers, is received. The Internet host then transmits filter(s) to the upstream router generated based upon characteristics of the attack traffic. Once installed by the upstream router, the attack traffic is dropped to terminate a DDoS attack. In addition, the router may determine upstream router(s) coupled to ports from which attack traffic is received, and securely forward the filter(s) to the upstream routers as a routing protocol updated in order to drop the attack traffic at a point closer to a source of the DDoS attack.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2001Date of Patent: April 11, 2006Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Todd A. Anderson, David M. Putzolu
