  • Publication number: 20240070898
    Abstract: Examples of electronic devices are described herein. In some examples, an electronic device includes a camera to capture a composite image comprising multiple images of a location. In some examples, the electronic device includes a processor to crop a portion of the composite image based on a field-of-view of the camera. In some examples, the processor is to determine whether a neural network identifies the cropped portion. In some examples, the processor is to generate a unique identifier (ID) for the cropped portion in response to the cropped portion being unidentified by the neural network. In some examples, the processor is to associate the unique ID of the cropped portion with the location.

  • Publication number: 20240028710
    Abstract: A method of determining whether a processing unit is compliant with a security policy is provided. The method may comprise obtaining first data indicative of a power consumption profile of the processing unit for a first time period, the power consumption profile comprising a variation of power consumption with time. The method may comprise determining whether the processing unit is compliant with the security policy during the first time period depending, at least in part, on the obtained first data. It may be that the processing unit complying with the security policy gives rise to a power signature in the power consumption profile of the processing unit during a period of compliance.

  • Publication number: 20230300023
    Abstract: In some examples an electronic device includes a sensor, and a controller to detect a proximity of a second electronic device via the sensor. In response to determining that the proximity is within a threshold distance, the controller causes transmission of context information to the second electronic device. The context information is generated based on a location, a time, an application executed by the second electronic device, or a combination thereof. In response to the transmission of the context information, the controller receives a first signal from the second electronic device, and, in response to the first signal, the controller causes transmission of a second signal, the second signal to enable coupling to the second electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20230269094
    Abstract: Examples of electronic devices are described herein. In some examples, an electronic device includes a basic input/output system (BIOS) and a processor. In some examples, the processor is to receive an enrollment message for a function of the electronic device from a server, and send the enrollment message to the BIOS. In some examples, the BIOS is to store the enrollment message in a BIOS memory. In some examples, the BIOS is to verify the enrollment message in response to a function activation request from the processor. In some examples, the processor is to enable the function based on a function activation response from the BIOS.

  • Publication number: 20220407772
    Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device is provided. The electronic device comprises an audio device, an image sensor, a storage device storing a first and a second configuration profile, a display device to display a graphical user interface, and a processor. The first configuration profile is associated with a conferencing context, and the second configuration profile is associated with a security context. The graphical user interface has a first icon representing the first configuration profile and a second icon representing the second configuration profile. The processor is to, in response to a selection of the first icon, configure the audio device and the image sensor based on the first configuration profile. The processor is to, in response to a selection of the second icon, configure the audio device and the image sensor in accordance based on the second configuration profile.

  • Publication number: 20220291729
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to modifying clock-boost parameters. In some examples, a controller of a computing device may determine a thermal headroom based on a thermal capacity of the computing device, an energy inflow to a processor received from circuitry of the computing device, a temperature of the processor, and a speed of a fan of the computing device, and modify a clock boost parameter for the processor based on the thermal headroom.

  • Publication number: 20220091654
    Abstract: An example apparatus includes a power monitor, a memory, and a processor. The power monitor is to measure a power level of the apparatus. The memory is to store a power level to temperature increase rate correlation. The processor is in communication with the power monitor and the memory. The processor is to determine that an internal temperature threshold is to be exceeded based on the power level and the power level to temperature increase rate correlation. The processor also is to perform a device operation modification to reduce the power level in response to a determination that the internal temperature threshold is to be exceeded.
