Publication number: 20240104193Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for direct assignment of physical devices to confidential virtual machines (VMs). At a first guest privilege context of a guest partition, a direct assignment of a physical device associated with a host computer system to the guest partition is identified. The guest partition includes the first guest privilege context and a second guest privilege context, which is restricted from accessing memory associated with the first guest privilege context. The guest partition corresponds to a confidential VM, such that a memory region associated with the guest partition is inaccessible to a host operating system. It is determined, based on a policy, that the physical device is allowed to be directly assigned to the guest partition. Communication between the physical device and the second guest privilege context is permitted, such as by exposing the physical device on a virtual bus and/or forwarding an interrupt.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Jin LIN, Jason Stewart WOHLGEMUTH, Michael Bishop EBERSOL, Aditya BHANDARI, Steven Adrian WEST, Emily Cara CLEMENS, Michael Halstead KELLEY, Dexuan CUI, Attilio MAINETTI, Sarah Elizabeth STEPHENSON, Carolina Cecilia PEREZ-VARGAS, Antoine Jean Denis DELIGNAT-LAVAUD, Kapil VASWANI, Alexander Daniel GREST, Steve Michel PRONOVOST, David Alan HEPKIN

Publication number: 20240070526Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable variable and dynamic feedback to electronic activities by receiving event data and utilizing a feedback machine learning model to predict an average feedback attribute and an average feedback variability attribute based on the event data. A feedback data entry is added to a user profile to store the average feedback attribute and the average feedback variability attribute. A new event and a new event attribute are received for the user profile, and a feedback probability distribution for the new event is generated based on the new event attribute, the average feedback attribute, and the average feedback variability attribute. A new event feedback is generated for the new event based on a random selection from the feedback probability distribution and is output to a computing device associated with the user profile.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Samuel Rapowitz, Bryant Yee, Zachary Sweeney, Steven Black, Alexander Lin, Jenny Melendez, Joshua Peters

Publication number: 20230385399Abstract: A cloud server and an operation method thereof are provided. The cloud server is communicatively connected to at least one electronic device and at least one power device. The cloud server is used for determining whether an event occurs on any of the power devices, and determining whether a warning needs to be issued in response to the event. When both are determined to be yes, the cloud server pushes an alert message, generates a security key and a security lock, and transmits the security lock to the electronic devices associated with the event. Only when receiving a confirmation message in response to the alert message within a valid unlock time, the cloud server transmits the security key to the electronic devices associated with the event, so that the electronic devices associated with the event start to perform a corresponding operation after unlocking.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2022Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: YUNG-HSIANG LIN, STEVEN LIN
