  • Patent number: 7945291
    Abstract: A computer system is provided with an antenna which disables inappropriate wireless communications when a communication controller is inconsistently connected with the antenna. The computer having a diversity antenna connected to a detachable wireless LAN card containing a controller for providing wireless communication is mounted in a mini PCI slot, comprising a switch device for recognizing the identification information (ID) of the wireless LAN card to be mounted by BIOS executed on a CPU, in which the connection between the diversity antenna and the wireless LAN card is maintained in an off state (default) as an initial state in which the wireless LAN card is mounted, and the connection is enabled based on the identification information recognized by the BIOS.

  • Publication number: 20010018738
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program device to control an environment for a computer's software execution appropriately to each software program to be executed by a computer are disclosed. While a specific application program is executed, if a volume value, etc. of output voices/sounds are updated, it is confirmed whether to register updated values of the volume, etc. before those values are registered in a volume setting data base so as to be corresponded to a class name of a currently executed application program. In addition, if a focused window on a screen is changed, the class name of the application program corresponding to a new window to be focused is obtained. If a volume value, etc. of the application program are already registered in a volume setting data base, the volume, etc. of the output voices/sounds are updated.

  • Patent number: 5189647
    Abstract: An information processing system operates under a multi-tasking operating system in which each task to be run is assigned a priority level. A Clock Switch (41) is positioned between the Clock Oscillator (50) and the Processor (10). A System Timer (70) establishes periodic intervals of time. At the beginning of each time interval, the System Timer, via an Interrupt Controller (60) and Transition Detector (42), turns ON (if its not already ON) the clock to the Processor by sending a Clock Start Signal to the Clock Switch. A Clock Control Program is assigned the lowest priority such that the Clock Control Program runs if and only if there are no other tasks running. When the Clock Control Program runs, it sends a code to a Register (43), which in turn sends a Clock Stop signal to the Clock Switch, thereby stopping the clock to the Processor. As described above, the System Timer will restart the clock again at the beginning of the next time interval.
