The hypervisor is arranged to receive a safety setting command sent by the primary VM, and manage and configure the safety protection component according to the safety setting command, to set a read-only mode of the protected model.

Abstract: A system for application (APP) protection includes a processor. The processor is arranged to execute a guest virtual machine (VM), at least one primary VM, a hypervisor, and a host VM, wherein at least one APP protection with at least one identification (ID) of the at least one APP running on the guest VM is downloaded to the guest VM. The hypervisor includes an install service module and a launcher module. The host VM is arranged to: receive at least one install command from the guest VM, and generate an install service command to the install service module; verify the at least one APP protection by the at least one ID and generate at least one verification result; obtain the at least one ID from the at least one primary VM according to the at least one verification result; and generate a launch command to the launcher module.

Abstract: A computing system includes a processor, and the processor is arranged to execute: a guest virtual machine (VM), a hypervisor, and a primary VM, wherein an operating system (OS) runs on the guest VM, and an application (APP) runs on the OS. The kernel of the OS includes a protection service module and a memory management unit (MMU) manager. The protection service module is arranged to receive at least one virtual address and a first size information sent by a client of the APP. The primary VM includes a protection manager, and the protection manager is arranged to obtain a physical address array and a second size information according to the at least one virtual address and the first size information sent by the protection service through the hypervisor.

Abstract: A system for kernel protection includes a processor and a transmission interface. The processor is arranged to execute at least one guest virtual machine (VM), at least one primary VM, and a hypervisor. The at least one guest VM is arranged to send at least one command to a command hub. The at least one primary VM is arranged to manage and configure a safety setting according to the at least one command from the command hub and at least one policy, and manage and configure a safety protection component according to the safety setting. The hypervisor is arranged to manage and configure the safety protection component according to a ground rule and at least one safety setting command from the at least one primary VM. The transmission interface is arranged to bind the at least one primary VM to the hypervisor.

Abstract: A method for controlling a plurality of network interfaces of an electronic device includes: providing at least one table comprising information associated with a plurality of routing costs, wherein the routing costs correspond to at least paths between each of the network interfaces of the electronic device and the other electronic devices; and referring to the at least one table to select a specific network interface to transmit/receive data, and to disable at least one of the unused network interfaces.

Abstract: A display method using a virtual widget, an associated electronic device, and an integrated circuit are provided. The electronic device includes: a display; a plurality of sensors, a first control system; and a second control system having a controller. The first control system offloads display workloads to the second control system before the first control system has entered the sleep mode. The controller receives sensor data from the sensors and executes a virtual widget based on information of the received sensor data when the first control system has entered the sleep mode.

Abstract: A method for controlling data transmission between a client device and a server is provided. The method includes the following steps: generating control information according to a data access rate of the client device and a data report rate of the server; and referring to the control information to manage at least one of a data access operation of the client device and a data reporting operation of the server.

Abstract: A candidate key retrieving apparatus, a candidate key retrieving method and a tangible machine-readable medium thereof are provided. The candidate key retrieving apparatus comprises a storage unit and a microprocessor. The storage unit is configured to store a table recording a data amount of the table, a plurality of attributes, and a data distinct amount and a data type of each attribute. The microprocessor is configured to generate a candidate key according to the data amount, the distinct amounts and the data types.

Abstract: An intermediary apparatus, an intermediary method, and a computer program product thereof for storing data in a storage apparatus, and a data storage system comprising the same are provided. The storage apparatus has a storage zone with a signature field, and the signature field stores a first signature value. The data has index information and a data signature value. After searching out the storage zone according to the index information, the intermediary apparatus extracts the first signature value from the storage zone, and then determines if the data has been stored in the storage zone according to the first signature value and the data signature value. If not, the intermediary apparatus writes the data into the storage zone; otherwise, ignores the data.
