Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and one or more apparatuses are provided. The apparatuses may be one or more thin clients. Each of the one or more thin clients wirelessly connects with at least one peripheral. Each of the one or more thin clients establishes a remote session with a remote machine. The one or more thin clients are placed in an environment that is isolated from the at least one peripheral of each of the thin clients.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing firmware update on an embedded system by patching. In operation, a computing device may receive an image of replacement firmware, which is a different version of current firmware stored in a non-volatile memory of the embedded system. The computing device then determines the different portions of the replacement firmware from the current firmware by comparing the image of the replacement firmware to the current firmware, and retrieves the different portions from the image of the replacement firmware to form the fragments. In this case, the computing device may create a patch file by data of the fragments, and send the patch file to the embedded system, such that the embedded system may use the patch file to update the current firmware. The size of the patch file would be relatively smaller than the firmware image, thereby reducing update time and resources consumption.

Abstract: An embedded system includes a processor, a volatile memory coupled to the processor, and a non-volatile memory storing a computer executable code. The computer executable code, when executed by the at least one processor, is configured to: perform a boot process; display a splash screen during the boot process; and during the display of the splash screen: provide a plurality of interactive links between executing a plurality of applications and a plurality of inputs; receive one of the inputs from a user; and in response to receiving the one of the inputs, execute the corresponding application based on the interactive links after accomplishing the boot process.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic power control and unusual activity detections for thin client computing devices. In operation, the server receives messages from the thin clients, with each message corresponding to a activity occurred at the thin clients. The server then analyzes the messages and generates usage patterns of the thin client computing devices. Based on the usage patterns, the server may generate automatic power control schedules for the computing devices, and control power of each of the computing devices based on the automatic power control schedules. Further, the server may monitor unusual activities occurred at the computing devices based on the messages and the usage patterns of the computing devices.
