A representative electronic device comprises an audio/visual device, a wireless device, a processing device, and memory. The audio/visual device transmits either audio or visual signals, or both. The wireless device transmits and receives wireless signals having communications protocol to allow connectivity and collaboration between the electronic device and a targeted device. The memory includes an authentication/connection software which has instructions that are executed by the processing device. The instructions includes the following logics: instructing the audio/visual device to transmit the visible and/or audible signals to a computing device, wherein the visible and/or audible signals includes a unique identification code associated with the electronic device, wherein the targeted device receives the unique identification code via the computing device; instructing the wireless device to transmit and receive the wireless signals to/from the targeted device, wherein the wireless signals includes the unique identification code associated with the electronic device; and establishing communication between the electronic device and the targeted device based on the unique identification code.

Methods and systems of establishing communication between devices

A guest operating system is provided with access to sensor data indicative of a rotation event from sensors associated with a computing device including a processor executing a host operating system. The guest operating system is launched as a virtual operating system and is executed as a guest of the host operating system. Responsive to changed sensor data indicative of the rotation event detected by at least one sensor associated with the computing device, the changed sensor data is sent to a first application associated with the host operating system via at least one driver executing within a kernel of the host operating system. The changed sensor data is sent from the first application to an application framework associated with the guest operating system. The application framework calculates rotation of the computing device based on the changed sensor data. The calculated rotation is sent to a second application associated with the guest operating system.

Screen content associated with a first communication device is presented on a screen associated with a second communication device with minimal processing of the screen content by the first communication device. Screen content associated with the first communication device that is to be presented on the screen associated with a second communication device is identified. The first communication device determines whether the identified content requires complex processing for presentation on the screen associated with the second communication device. If the identified content requires complex processing for presentation on the screen associated with the second communication device, the first communication device sends a representation of the identified content to the second communication device, and the second communication device accesses and processes the identified content for presentation on the screen associated with the second communication device.

A guest operating system, launched by executing an application associated with a host operating system, is provided with access to a gyroscope associated with a computing device including a processor executing the host operating system. A first application associated with the guest operating system generates a request for gyroscope data. The request is received at a hardware abstraction layer associated with the guest operating system, and the request is sent from the hardware abstraction layer to a second application associated with the host operating system. The request is sent from the second application to a driver executing within a kernel of the host operating system. The driver retrieves the requested gyroscope data from the gyroscope. The retrieved gyroscope data is provided to the first application via the second application and the hardware abstraction layer.

Applications of multiple operating systems are provided with access to hardware resources within a mobile device. An application associated with a primary operating system is provided with access to at least some of the hardware resources via a driver running within a kernel of the primary operating system. An application associated with a secondary operating system is also provided with access to at least some of the hardware resources via the driver running within the kernel of the primary operating system.

Methods, devices and computer program products for confluence of multiple operating systems

A UEFI compliant firmware is disclosed that includes a UEFI legacy boot loader. The UEFI legacy boot loader provides functionality for loading operating systems that are non-UEFI compliant in a performant manner. In particular, the UEFI legacy boot loader provided in one embodiment disclosed herein is configured to utilize UEFI disk services to load an O/S kernel and other O/S components. Once the UEFI legacy boot loader has completed loading the O/S components, the UEFI legacy boot loader enables interrupt handling by the O/S, relocates O/S real mode kernel setup code to a low memory region (below 1 MB), and switches a processor to a real mode of operation. The UEFI legacy boot loader then causes the real mode kernel setup code to be executed on the processor, to thereby complete the loading of the operating system.
