A guest operating system is provided with access to sensor data indicative of a rotation event from sensors associated with a computing device including a processor executing a host operating system. The guest operating system is launched as a virtual operating system and is executed as a guest of the host operating system. Responsive to changed sensor data indicative of the rotation event detected by at least one sensor associated with the computing device, the changed sensor data is sent to a first application associated with the host operating system via at least one driver executing within a kernel of the host operating system. The changed sensor data is sent from the first application to an application framework associated with the guest operating system. The application framework calculates rotation of the computing device based on the changed sensor data. The calculated rotation is sent to a second application associated with the guest operating system.

Systems and methods for processing a financial transaction are provided. A representative system of processing a financial transaction comprises a product dispensing device that encodes and outputs public transaction data related to a purchasable item. A portable computing device receives the public transaction data and encodes a payment data with the received public transaction data. A payment processing server receives and processes the encoded data, and determines whether a transaction can be completed based on the encoded data. Responsive to determining that the transaction is completed, the payment processing server generates and transmits an authentication data based on the encoded data. The portable computing device receives and outputs the authentication data. The product dispensing device receives the authentication data, verifies payment based on the received authentication data, and provides the purchasable item to a customer who is operating the portable computing device.

A gateway for distributing content receives a subscriber profile from a subscriber device. The subscriber profile indicates content in which a user associated with the subscriber device is interested. Content is received by the gateway in an electronic mail message addressed to the gateway. The received content is parsed to determine whether the received content contains the content in which the subscriber profile indicates an interest. If the received content is determined to contain the content in which the subscriber profile indicates an interest, the received content is provided to the subscriber device.

Screen content associated with a first communication device is presented on a screen associated with a second communication device with minimal processing of the screen content by the first communication device. Screen content associated with the first communication device that is to be presented on the screen associated with a second communication device is identified. The first communication device determines whether the identified content requires complex processing for presentation on the screen associated with the second communication device. If the identified content requires complex processing for presentation on the screen associated with the second communication device, the first communication device sends a representation of the identified content to the second communication device, and the second communication device accesses and processes the identified content for presentation on the screen associated with the second communication device.

Methods, systems and computer readable storage devices for presenting screen content

A guest operating system, launched by executing an application associated with a host operating system, is provided with access to a gyroscope associated with a computing device including a processor executing the host operating system. A first application associated with the guest operating system generates a request for gyroscope data. The request is received at a hardware abstraction layer associated with the guest operating system, and the request is sent from the hardware abstraction layer to a second application associated with the host operating system. The request is sent from the second application to a driver executing within a kernel of the host operating system. The driver retrieves the requested gyroscope data from the gyroscope. The retrieved gyroscope data is provided to the first application via the second application and the hardware abstraction layer.

Methods, devices and computer readable storage devices for emulating a gyroscope in a guest operating system from a host operating system

Applications of multiple operating systems are provided with access to hardware resources within a mobile device. An application associated with a primary operating system is provided with access to at least some of the hardware resources via a driver running within a kernel of the primary operating system. An application associated with a secondary operating system is also provided with access to at least some of the hardware resources via the driver running within the kernel of the primary operating system.

A customization program for use in customizing a baseboard management controller used for monitoring operation of various computer system components is disclosed. A user interacts with the customization program to customize the baseboard management controller based on a configuration of components specified for the baseboard of the computer system. The customization program provides a user interface having a repository of icons and a design page. The icons represent various components that may be connected, either directly or indirectly, to the baseboard. The design page is used for constructing a model representing the specified configuration of components. As a user drags icons onto the design page, the model is updated to reflect selection of the components corresponding to these icons. Further, the customization program creates a configuration file that identifies and describes each of the selected components. The configuration file is loaded into the baseboard management controller to effectuate the aforementioned customization.

Configuring a management module through a graphical user interface for use in a computer system

A system and computer-implemented method for configuring a baseboard management controller (BMC) for use in monitoring operation of various computer system components is disclosed. The BMC is communicatively connected to a plurality of components by way of a plurality of slave addresses. Each of the plurality of components sense information related to operating and performance-related parameters associated with various operating conditions inherent in the operation of the computer system. The components provide this sensed information to the BMC, which analyzes the information to determine whether any events are occurring in the computer system. Such an event would be the temperature within the computer system chassis being too hot. Those components communicatively connected to the management module are detected and then identified. Based on these identifications, a configuration file is created and incorporated into the BMC firmware to effectuate the aforementioned configuration process.
