In an example implementation, a method of tracking a mobile device includes determining by a tracked device, that a pairing status between the tracked device and a command device has changed from a paired status to an unpaired status. A timer is started on the tracked device in response to determining the unpaired status, and in response to the timer reaching a threshold time, a distress packet is transmitted from the tracked device that indicates the tracked device is lost.

Tracking a mobile device

An example method of managing multi-architecture system input in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure includes receiving an input from a first processing unit in the multi-architecture system, receiving an input from a second processing unit in the multi-architecture system, combining the inputs, and providing the combined inputs to a display unit. The display unit displays the combined inputs in a configurable orientation.

Multi architecture manager

An authentication system in accordance with an example includes an image capture device to scan an object. The authentication system also includes an authentication module to identify imperfections in the object based on the scan, to generate model data based on the identified imperfections, and to authenticate the user based on a comparison of currently identified imperfections to the model data.

Object-based user authentication

Included are embodiments for assignment and failover of resources. More specifically, at least one embodiment of a method includes assigning, to a user of an access device (), at least one primary resource (). Some embodiments include assigning, to the user of the access device (), at least one backup resource ().

Assignment and failover of resources

Example methods, systems and articles of manufacture to resume remote desktop sessions are disclosed. A disclosed example method to resume a remote desktop session with a first computing device includes sending a query packet containing a first value representing a user identifier from a second computer device to a third computing device, receiving a response packet containing a second value representing the first computing device from the third computing device, and resuming at the second computing device the remote desktop session with the first computing device using the value.

Methods, systems and articles of manufacture to resume a remote desktop session

In one embodiment a computing system comprises one or more processors, a display device coupled to the computing system, and a memory module communicatively connected to the one or more processors. The memory module comprises logic to receive, in a connection server, a service request from a user via a remote connection client, wherein the service request comprises at least one of a user credential, a connection client identifier, and a layout identifier, authenticate, in the connection server, the user credential and the connection client identifier, retrieve, in the connection server, a user profile associated with the user, a connection client layout associated with the layout identifier, connection data for at least one remote system, and a policy associated with the user profile, and transmit the user profile, the connection client layout, a remote system and the connection data for a remote system and a policy associated with the user profile from the connection server to the remote connection client.

Selection and application of roles and systems based on username and layout ID

A system and method for administering access to a central resource by a remote access device. A system includes a remote access device and a computer executing a hierarchical policy manager. The remote access device requests access to a central resource. The hierarchical policy manager determines a policy for allowing the device to access the resource by evaluating access policies at a plurality of precedence levels of a policy hierarchy. The hierarchical policy manager allows the device to access the resource based on the policy set at the highest precedence level of the policy hierarchy at which access control is specified.
