Systems and methods of presenting diagnostic information of an electronic device at diagnostic equipment are disclosed. According to an aspect, a system includes an input/output interface configured to communicatively connect to diagnostic equipment and configured to receive electrical power from the diagnostic equipment. Further, the system includes a diagnostic module that stores diagnostic information of an electronic device. The diagnostic module determines that the diagnostic equipment is connected to the input/output interface. The diagnostic module is configured to determine that electrical power is not available from a power supply of the electronic device. Further, the diagnostic module is configured to receive the electrical power from the diagnostic equipment and use the electrical power from the diagnostic equipment to communicate the stored diagnostic information to the diagnostic equipment in response to the diagnostic equipment being connected to the input/output interface and the electrical power not being available from the power supply.

Flexible display systems and methods for controlling and operating the same are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, a display system is provided. The display system comprises a display that is configured to be shaped in one of a first shape and a second shape, the first shape and the second shape being different shapes. The display system further comprises electromagnets attached to the display and oriented such that when the electromagnets are actuated, the display is held in the first shape.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for backup memory administration are provided. Embodiments include storing in an active memory device, by a memory backup controller, blocks of computer data received from random access memory; recording in a change log, by the memory backup controller, identifications of each block of computer data that is stored in the active memory device; detecting, by the memory backup controller, a backup trigger event; and responsive to the detecting of the backup trigger event: copying, by the memory backup controller, from the active memory device, to a backup memory device, the blocks of data identified in the change log; and clearing, by the memory backup controller, the change log.

Recommending preferred ringer settings for a mobile communications device, including: receiving, from one or more mobile communications devices, location information identifying a location of the mobile communications device; receiving, from one or more mobile communications devices, ringer setting information identifying a ringer setting of the mobile communications device; identifying one or more location zones; and determining, in dependence upon the location information and the ringer setting information, preferred ringer settings for each of the one or more location zones.

Embodiments of the invention provide for device authentication in a flexible display computing device. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for device authentication in a flexible display computing device includes pre-storing in memory of a computing device, data corresponding to a pattern of folds of a flexible display of the computing device. The method also includes receiving a subsequent authentication request in the computing device and, in response, monitoring a folding of the flexible display and computing data corresponding to a pattern of the monitored folding. The method yet further includes comparing in the memory of the computing device the computed data to the pre-stored data. Finally, the method includes granting access to the computing device if the pattern of the monitored folding compares to the pattern of folds based upon a threshold degree of equality between the computed data and the pre-stored data.
