  • Non-spoofable privacy indicator showing disabling of sensors on a network-connected client device
    Patent number: 11343274
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for activating a sensor of a client device by toggling, at the client device, a position of a switch that connects the sensor to a power source of the client device to an on position. The client device receives user input corresponding to a privacy mode. In response to receiving the user input, the client device disables the sensor by toggling the position of the switch that connects the sensor to the power source to an off position, and enables a privacy indicator by toggling a position of a switch that connects the privacy indicator to a power source to an on position.
    Type: Grant

  • Power aware task scheduling on multi-processor systems
    Patent number: 9785481
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for power-based scheduling of tasks among processors are disclosed. A method may include executing processor executable code on one or more of the processors to prompt a plurality of executable tasks for scheduling among the processors. Processor-demand information is obtained about the plurality of executable tasks in addition to capacity information for each of the processors. Processor power information for each of the processors is also obtained, and the plurality of executable tasks are scheduled on the lowest power processors where processor-demands of the tasks are satisfied.
