Abstract: A method is described that involves operating a computing system within a normal on state and transitioning from the normal on state to a main CPU/OS based state. In the main CPU/OS based state one or more components of the computing system are inactivated so as to cause the computing system to consume less power in the main CPU/OS based state than in the normal on state. The computing system is able to execute software application routines on a main CPU and a main OS of the computing system while in the main CPU/OS based state.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a mobile computing device that includes an interface to communicate VOIP calls in a non-main CPU/OS state. In one embodiment, the mobile computing device includes a secondary display located on an external area of the mobile computing device, to display information related to a VOIP call. In one embodiment, the mobile computing device further includes an interface to communicate the VOIP call wirelessly with a headset.

Abstract: An approach for managing the privacy and disclosure of location information associated with a computer system. For one aspect, a request is received from a requestor for a location property associated with a location of a computer system. It is then determined whether a privacy preference associated with the requestor has been specified. If not, a user may be prompted to supply privacy preferences associated with the requester. The privacy preferences are then applied to determine whether or not to provide the requested information. A user setting, such as a basic input-output system memory location setting, may also be implemented to enable and/or disable location-aware computing.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for a user to interface with a mobile computing device is disclosed.
