  • Patent number: 9417314
    Abstract: A server management system disposes two wave generators on a rack and disposes a wave sensor on a server, wherein each of the wave generators is capable of emitting an omni-directional wave and a directional wave. When the wave sensor senses the omni-directional wave and the directional wave at different time points, one of the server and a host device is capable of determining two angles of the wave sensor relative to the two wave generators according to time differences and then calculating a position of the server located in the rack according to the two angles.

  • Patent number: 9332064
    Abstract: A computer system and a remote control method thereof are provided. The method is adapted for the computer system having a network and a processor. In the method, the network card is used to receive a management interface request sent by a remote device thorough a network and send a system management interrupt to the processor, so as to wake up the processor and control the processor to enter a system management mode. Then, the processor loads a management monitoring program into a memory so as to execute the management monitor program. Finally, the processor processes the management interface request by using the management monitoring program in the system management mode, and replies a processing result to the remote device through the network by using the network card.

  • Patent number: 8935696
    Abstract: A communication method of virtual machines and a server-end system are provided. A virtual hardware address is assigned to a virtual machine when the virtual machine are established, wherein the virtual hardware address includes a tenant identity. A validation procedure for a packet is performed when the virtual machine desires to communicate with another virtual machine by transmitting the packet, so as to determine whether the virtual hardware addresses of the source-end and the destination-end in the packet have the same tenant identity. If the both virtual hardware addresses have the same tenant identity, the packet is transmitted to the another virtual machine.

  • Publication number: 20130340046
    Abstract: A wireless network client-authentication system and a wireless network connection method thereof are disclosed. The wireless network client-authentication system includes a network service system, a wireless router, and an electronic device. The network service system has an administrator interface module for managing a client list. The wireless router is used for uploading connection information to the network service system. The electronic device is capable of transmitting a signal via a first communication path and a second communication path. A connection module of the electronic device is used for logging in the network service system via the first communication path by a user account. The administrator interface module determines whether the user account is corresponding to the client list. If yes, the administrator interface allows the connection module to connect to the wireless router via the second communication path with the connection information.
