Provided is a method of controlling virtual switching, the method including: receiving at least one command from an external apparatus; determining whether the at least one command is performable by a network interface apparatus for controlling virtual switching; and based on a result of the determining, controlling the network interface apparatus or at least one operating system for driving an application to perform virtual switching.

Method and apparatus for controlling virtual switching

An apparatus and method for providing an integrated user interface for a variety of operating systems are provided. When a user request execution of an application included in a second operating system an application of a first operating system is in the foreground of a display, the apparatus switches the application included in the second operating system to the foreground of the display without the need for a separate window. One of a server operating system and client operating systems may be set as a main domain that provides an integrated graphic user interface with respect to applications executed on a plurality of operating systems. The operating systems not set to the main domain may be set as sub-domains each of which provides application information to the main domain in response to a request from the main domain. In response to an application execution request, the server operating system may switch an operating system in which the corresponding application is present to the foreground of the display.

Setting server operating system as main domain to provide integrated user interface for a plurality of client operating system set as sub-domains

Provided are an apparatus and method for transmitting only sensor data actually used to process a user request among sensor data received from a sensor when communication restarts between a sensor data management device and a sensor data analysis device. Accordingly, the amount of data transmitted to the sensor data analysis device is reduced. The sensor data analysis device may analyze the sensor data received from the sensor data management device to process the user request.

Method and apparatus for managing sensor data and method and apparatus for analyzing sensor data

An apparatus is provided for supporting a plurality of operating systems by single hardware, wherein the plurality of operating systems include a server operating system to provide an integrated user interfaces for applications running on the plurality of operating systems, and at least one client operating system to provide a user interface for applications running on the client operating system through the server operating system under the control of the server operating system.

Apparatus and method of supporting plurality of operating systems

Provided is an apparatus for software migration between devices in a mobile environment. The software migration apparatus may include a policy manager configured to select a migration method for target software according to a migration environment, and a migration manager configured to perform migration of the target software according to the migration method. In addition, provided herein is a software migration method which is performed in a mobile environment. The software migration method may involve analyzing a current migration environment, selecting a migration method according to the analyzed current migration environment, and performing the migration of the target software.

Apparatus and method for software migration in mobile environment

A method and apparatus for authorizing a host to access a portable storage device and a method and apparatus of providing information for authorizing a host to access a portable storage device. The method includes: verifying integrity of host software requesting to transmit data; determining whether the host is authorized to access the portable storage device; and determining whether the host software is authorized to access the portable storage device. Accordingly, user information may be stored on the portable storage device and moved with security.

Method and apparatus for authorizing host to access portable storage device

An apparatus and method of providing security information in a virtual environment that supports a plurality of operating systems. The plurality of operating systems include at least one secure operating system in which applications whose safety has been verified are installed, and at least one normal operating system in which applications whose safety has been not verified are freely installed. The server operating system may provide security information corresponding to an operating system in which an application executed as foreground is installed, to provide information indicating whether an application is operated in a secure operating system, to a user.

Apparatus and method for providing security information in virtual environment

Provided are a method and apparatus for controlling a public device that provides services that are shared by a plurality of users. The plurality of users may control an operation of the public device in order to provide a public service desired by the users.

Method and apparatus for controlling a public device

A system and method are provided for protecting data information stored in a storage medium. The system includes a memory unit which is divided into a plurality of storage regions in which data information is stored; a domain unit which includes a plurality of OS domains, which are access subjects, and loads the data information stored in the storage regions that are accessed by the OS domains; and a control unit which controls access of the domain unit to the memory unit.

System and method for protecting data information stored in storage

Provided is an apparatus and method for protecting a system in a virtualized environment. The apparatus includes a domain unit including a plurality of domains, each having one or more device drivers; a system resource unit forming hardware of the system; a direct memory access (DMA) driver; and a control unit including an access control module which controls the access of the domain unit to the system resource unit in the virtualized environment.

Apparatus and method for protecting system in virtualized environment

An apparatus and method for switching a VM screen in an environment in which a plurality of OSs operating on a virtual machine monitor (VMM), are provided. The VM screen switching apparatus provides VM screen switching so that features of a home screen or an operation screen provided by each VM can be shown. The VM screen switching apparatus provides a user interface for enabling a user to select a desired VM from a plurality of VMs. The apparatus determines a VM to be displayed as a foreground according to a user input signal, and combines graphic data of a currently displayed screen of a VM with graphic data for a screen of the determined VM to create a screen displaying VM screen switching, and outputs the created screen to a display device.

Apparatus and method for switching between virtual machines

Methods and apparatuses for controlling wireless charging of the mobile terminal are provided. A method of controlling wireless charging of a mobile terminal may include: finding devices in a vicinity of the mobile terminal; if a wireless charging device is not found, comparing a previous charging environment with the found devices to determine whether a current state of the mobile terminal is in an environment where wireless charging can be performed; otherwise, if at least one wireless charging device is found, selecting a wireless charging device having a more optimal connection state from among the wireless charging device found; and outputting a result of the determining or the selecting to a user through the mobile terminal.
