  • Patent number: 10687216
    Abstract: In an antitheft method for a mobile terminal that relates to the field of communications technologies, a baseband processor detects integrity of an operating system running on an application processor, generates a short message service (SMS) message when the operating system has no integrity, and transfers the SMS message to the application processor. The application processor controls a display to display the SMS message in order to inform a user that the operating system of the mobile terminal is damaged. In a scenario in which a mobile terminal is stolen and an operating system is maliciously tampered with, according to the solution provided in this application, an SMS message is used to prompt a user, thereby improving security of the mobile terminal.

  • Patent number: 9148647
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method performed by a de-multiplexer that is coupled to a front-end stream buffer and a plurality of back-end video buffers. The front-end stream buffer is configured to buffer a plurality of video data units of a video stream. The video stream includes a plurality of subordinate video streams interleaved therein. Each of the back-end video buffers is configured to buffer the video information contained in a corresponding one of the subordinate video streams. First, the de-multiplexer determines whether it is blocked from fetching the video information of a first video data unit buffered in the front-end stream buffer. Then, if being blocked, the de-multiplexer skips accessing the first video data unit and instead fetches the video information of a second video data unit buffered in the front-end stream buffer.
