A system and method for effectively supporting data transfer procedures includes a source device that registers with an account server to participate in a data backup service. The source device then encrypts and stores user data onto a datacenter. The source device later may request a data transfer task from a vendor. The datacenter responsively transfers the encrypted user data to a vendor server, and an escrow server generates and sends a temporary key to the vendor server. A destination device may then utilize the temporary key to decrypt and securely store the user data onto the destination device.

System and method for effectively performing data restore/migration procedures

A system for customizing a notebook computer cover is provided. A user station provides a user interface to select at least one image and to transmit the at least one image. A server receives the at least one image from the user station and formats the at least one selected image to fit a shape of the notebook computer cover. A printer prints the at least one image onto a predetermined fabric. A heat chamber heats the notebook computer cover in response to the predetermined fabric being placed on the notebook computer cover to vaporize the image from the predetermined fabric into a clear layer of the notebook computer cover.

Custom decorating configure-to-order system and custom decorating process

A digital camera can employ logic to delay capturing a still image after a person has operated the control button until such time as predetermined subject criteria are met, e.g., the subject is smiling with eyes open, three or more players are in the field of view to ensure a good action shot, etc.

Digital camera with automatic functions

A mechanical robot can detect intruders using a camera or other motion sensor or aurally using a microphone, and then alert a user in response.

Enhancements to mechanical robot

A computer component packaging assembly can have an essentially two-dimensional flat configuration for storage and a three-dimensional component holding configuration for holding parts such as ac adapters, batteries, and documentation.
