  • Patent number: 7962151
    Abstract: A user who loses or has stolen his wireless telephone can access an Internet server that prompts the phone to send to the server (and, hence, the user) the GPS location of the phone. Also, when a wireless telephone reaches a low voltage state, indicating the imminent loss of the ability to call the phone to cause it to ring as a location aid, the phone automatically sends its last GPS location to the server.

  • Patent number: 7933865
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for autonomic large file marking. A threshold module sets the file size threshold. An identification module identifies each file with a file size that exceeds the file size threshold and that is unmarked with a limited backup status. A marking module marks with the limited backup status each identified file that satisfies a marking policy and exceeds the file size threshold and is unmarked for the limited backup status. Each file marked with the limited backup status is backed up with a single backup instance of the file and excluded from subsequent backup operations.

  • Patent number: 7702664
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for autonomic large file marking. A threshold module sets a file size threshold. An identification module identifies each file that exceeds the file size threshold and that is not marked with a limited backup status. A user interface module may query a user if each identified file is to be marked. In response to a user direction to mark the identified file, the marking module may mark with the limited backup status each identified file. In an embodiment, the marking module selects a limited backup status from an exclusion backup status and a single storage backup status.
