  • Validating a type of a peripheral device
    Patent number: 9547765
    Abstract: A plurality of virtual domains are isolated from one another by a virtual machine monitor (VMM), the plurality of virtual domains including a first guest domain and a privileged domain. Peripheral related instructions are isolated from the first guest domain. The privileged domain is to cause execution of the peripheral related instructions, where the peripheral related instructions upon execution validate a type of the peripheral device.

  • Port replication in an electronic device that allows for a single network controller
    Patent number: 7028128
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for allowing a plurality of network connectors to utilize a single network controller within a docking station or portable device. A switching device connects the plurality of network connectors with the network controller. By connecting the network connectors into the switching device, the docking station and the portable device require a single network controller to handle the network communication. The switching device enables the network controller to continue to operate without disrupting the portable device when the network connection is changed from the docking station to the portable device or vice versa. The method and apparatus are useful in reducing the complexity of the total system while increasing functionality.
