Abstract: A method at a client device includes displaying media library information corresponding to a set of media items. The media items include one or more local media items, the one or more local media items including media items stored at the client device, and one or more remote media items, the one or more remote media items including media items stored at a remote system and not at the client device. The method also includes displaying, concurrently with displaying the media library information, affordances identifying the remote media items; detecting user interaction with an affordance identifying a respective remote media item; and in response to detecting the user interaction, initiating a process for downloading a copy of the respective remote media item to the client device for storage at the client device.

Abstract: In various example embodiments disclosed herein, a Dynamic Security Architecture Environment (DSAE) security architecture is provided in an externally connectable endpoint device (the security device), which can be connected to an existing host endpoint device, such as a computer, laptop, tablet, phone, vehicle, medical device, Industrial Control System (ICS), or other electronic or Internet connected device. The example embodiments can implement the DSAE security architecture in the security device that connects to a host endpoint device to make the host endpoint device more secure by enabling the security device to combat cyber attacks targeted toward the host device. The example embodiments described herein also provide details for creating a security device that leverages the DSAE architecture, wherein the security device is configured to connect via a wired or wireless medium for data communication with a host endpoint device to make the host device more secure.

Abstract: The present invention permits deferring the final provisioning of the Card Information Structure (CIS) in the attribute memory space of expansion cards (or modules) for portable hosts. This enables expansion cards to be distributed, sold, and installed by their end-users prior to the final provisioning, which is performed during their initial use. A temporary default CIS image is provided that permits baseline functionality of the expansion card with a host device. Providing the default CIS data enables provisional installation and operation of the card in the host, including accessing the card by way of default card services and socket software layers, as provided in the standard software environment of the host. The provisional operation enables higher level software to program the final CIS values in the peripheral controller internal CIS data-structure, EEPROM on the card, or any combination of the two.
