A machine-learning (ML) scheme running a software driver stack to learn user habits of entry into low power states, such as Modern Connect Standby (ModCS), and duration depending on time of day, and/or system telemetry. The ML creates a High Water Mark (HWM) number of dirty cache lines (DL) as a hint to a power agent. A power agent algorithm uses these hints and actual system's number of DL to inform the low power state entry decision (such as S0i4 vs. S0i3 entry decision) for a computing system.

Intelligent prediction of processor idle time apparatus and method

A computer built into an automobile displays the owner's manual for the car. The user requests more information about the automobile through the computer, and the additional information is displayed to the user. Information may include a description of a specific function or device of the car, service history, and/or real time status of a component of the car.

A method and apparatus for user activity-based dynamic power management and policy creation for mobile platforms are described. In one embodiment, the method includes the monitoring of one or more sensor values of a mobile platform device to gather sensor activity data. Once the sensor activity data is gathered, the user state may be predicted according to the gathered user activity and an updated user state model. In one embodiment, the user state model is updated according to the sensor activity data. In one embodiment, a switch occurs from the present power management policy to a new power management policy if the new user state differs from a present user state by a predetermined amount. In one embodiment, at least one time-out parameter of a selected power management policy may be adjusted to comply with a predicted user state. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Embodiments of the present invention can combine biometric identification data with additional information, or knowledge, to form a new type of security measure. One embodiment of the present invention obtains biometric identification data for accessing a particular context, identifies context identification data related to the particular context, and combines the biometric identification data and the context identification data into an identification template.

Biometric identification data protection

An apparatus and method for an audio channel switching headset are described. The method includes detection of a plurality of audio sources within communication range of a wireless headset device. Once the plurality of audio sources are detected, an audio link may be established with a pre-determined number of the selected audio sources. Finally, a user of the headset device is provided, via a plurality of headset audio channels, access to each audio source within an established audio link. Accordingly, a user of such a headset device may listen to audio sources simultaneously or may toggle between various audio sources using a mechanical switch or voice-activated toggling of audio sources. Furthermore, a user may request additional audio channels, which are enabled by a host device, which multiplexes multiple audio sources with a single device audio link.

An apparatus and method for wireless/wired Bluetooth&#x2122; communications interface are described. The method includes detection of a communications configuration of a device as one of a wireless communications interface and a wireless/wired communications interface. Once detected, it is determined whether a wired/wireless communications interface is the communications interface of the device. When such is the case, a data transmission error rate of the device is determined during operation of the device in a wireless communications mode. Next, the device is switched from the wireless communications mode to a wired communications mode when the data transmission error rate caused by wireless radio interference of the device exceeds a pre-determined threshold. As such, the present invention allows Bluetooth&#x2122; wireless communications devices to utilize a wired communications mode when transmission error rate exceeds a pre-determined threshold.

In one embodiment, the invention provides a method comprising storing user authentication information in a hardware structure of a computer system, the hardware structure including a security mechanism to protect the stored authentication information from unauthorized access, and authenticating a user of the computer system by comparing user input authentication information with the stored authentication information.

Method and system and authenticating a user of a computer system that has a trusted platform module (TPM)

A method and apparatus for providing an authentication logic to authenticate a registered caller, the authentication logic to use hashes of one or more random locations within the caller's code base to validate that the caller is registered.
