  • Publication number: 20160224780
    Abstract: A facility for managing the state of an electronic device is described. A facility determines a maximum-inactivity-to-lock period length and a grace period length. The facility subtracts the grace period length from the maximum-inactivity-to-lock period length to obtain an inactivity-to-disable-display period length. During a time when the device is unlocked and a visual display of the device is enabled, the facility receives one or more first user input events. At a time that is the inactivity-to-disable-display period length after the latest first user input event is received, the facility disables the visual display to begin a grace period. At a time that is less than the grace period length later than the beginning of the grace period, the facility receives a second user input event. In response, the facility enables the visual display in order to provide authenticated access to the device without imposing any further authentication process.

  • Patent number: 7383537
    Abstract: A system debugs a computer application that employs rights-managed (RM) content. A first, non-isolated process has the application and a shell version of the trusted component, where such shell version receives each request by the application for RM services. The shell version is unconcerned whether a debugger is monitoring the first process. A second, isolated process is separate from the first process and has a debugging version of the trusted component. The shell version in the first process forwards the received request to the debugging version in the second process, and such debugging version acts upon same. The debugging version ensures that the debugger is not monitoring the second process, but is unconcerned whether the debugger is monitoring the first process.
