  • Patent number: 8515447
    Abstract: A method for switching service channels in a vehicular environment is provided for performing communications between a user unit and a service provider unit according to a switch ratio between a service channel and a control channel in a multi-channel switching wireless communication environment. The method includes the following steps. In response to a message indicating that the service provider unit uses an access mode of an extended service channel, whether information of the switch ratio is stored in service information of the user unit is searched in the user unit according to geographical information of the service provider unit. If the information of the switch ratio is stored in the service information of the user unit in the searching step, the user unit is set accordingly to enter the access mode of the extended service channel.

  • Patent number: 8127276
    Abstract: Apparatus, method, and computer readable medium for generating and utilizing a feature code to monitor a program are provided. The program is run in a secure environment at the beginning. The program calls a function through an application program interface. A return address of the application program interface is used to generate the feature code. When the application runs again at another time, the feature code is utilized to monitor the program. According to the aforementioned arrangement and steps, the application program interface can be monitored dynamically. Consequently, any program can be monitored by this approach, which results in a more secure environment. Further, fewer application program interfaces are required to be monitored, so the required computer resource is less.
