An IoT based apparatus to assess the quality of food or agricultural produce is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a frame having an enclosure, a movable tray disposed at a middle portion of the enclosure, one or more camera installed within the enclosure, one or more light source strategically mounted within the enclosure to avoid reflection and hot spots, at least one storage unit, a touch screen display and a single board computer coupled to the camera, light source, storage unit and touch screen display. The enclosure is illuminated by the light source and the camera is configured to capture the image of the produce from both the top and bottom side of the produce. A pre-trained deep learning model is used on both the top and bottom view images to identify defects in the agricultural produce. The identified defects are displayed to the user via the touch screen display.

An approach is provided for operating a mobile device having first and second operating systems (OSs) installed. While executing the first OS but not the second OS and based on battery power remaining in the mobile device being less than a threshold and the mobile device consuming less power if executing the second OS but not the first OS, execution of the first OS is terminated and the second OS is executed. While executing the second OS, and in response to a determination of a likelihood of the mobile device being subject to an external security attack in a geographic region in which the mobile device is located and a determination that the mobile device is more secure against the external security attack while executing the first OS than while executing the second OS, execution of the second OS is terminated and the first OS is executed.

Enhanced security and resource utilization in a multi-operating system environment

An approach is provided for operating a mobile device having first and second operating systems (OSs) installed. While the mobile device is executing the first OS but not the second OS, (1) based in part on battery power remaining in the mobile device being less than a threshold and a lower power consumption of the mobile device if executing the second OS but not the first OS, execution of the first OS is terminated and the second OS is executed in the mobile device; and/or (2) based in part on (a) the mobile device being currently located in the first geographic region which has a greater likelihood of attack on the mobile device, and (b) the mobile device being more secure while operating the second OS but not the first OS, execution of the first OS is terminated and the second OS is executed in the mobile device.

An approach is provided for protecting data owned by an operating system on a mobile computing device having multiple operating systems. A map specifying protected data regions for the operating systems is generated. The map is secured with a shared key retrieved from a data structure. Based on the shared key, a tuple specifying the data region is retrieved from the data structure. Based on the map, the shared key, and the tuple, and responsive to a data cleanup activity being performed by a software utility being executed on another, currently running operating system included in the multiple operating systems, a data region included in the protected data regions is determined to be owned by the operating system. Based on the data region being owned by the operating system and specified by the map, the data cleanup activity is blocked from being performed on the data region.

Protecting data owned by an operating system in a multi-operating system mobile environment

A method for transmitting short message service (SMS) messages and notifications within a virtualized wireless device is provided. In one embodiment, a hypervisor detects an incoming SMS message directed to a virtualized wireless device that comprises at least two virtual operating systems. The hypervisor further transmits the incoming SMS message to a first virtual operating system of the virtualized wireless device. In addition, the hypervisor notifies a second virtual operating system of the virtualized wireless device of the incoming SMS message.

An approach is provided for protecting data owned by an operating system on a mobile computing device having multiple operating systems. A map specifying protected data regions for the operating systems on the mobile computing device is generated. At least a portion of the map is secured with a shared key. Based on the map and the shared key, and in response to a data cleanup activity being performed by a software utility being executed on another, currently running operating system included in the multiple operating systems, a data region included in the protected data regions is determined to be owned by the operating system. Based on the data region being owned by the operating system and the data region being specified by the map, the data cleanup activity is blocked from being performed on the data region owned by the operating system.
