Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for providing dynamic switching in real time between a first service provider and a second service provider capable of providing a user with service on a communication network, respectively. SOLUTION: The method includes a step for establishing a switching standard for determining when provision of the service is switched between the first service provider and the second service provider; a step for maintaining state information related to use of the user of the service provided by the first service provider; a step for switching the provision of the service between first service and second service to be provided on the communication network based on satisfaction of the switching standard; and a step for transferring the state information to be maintained to switching time to the second service. Preferably, the dynamic switching is performed for the user in a substantially transparent form. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
A method of saving power in a computing system having a plurality of dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) and employing a suspend-to-RAM sleep mode includes, when entering suspend-to-RAM sleep mode, consolidating (S130) selected information into a subset of DIMMs, and turning off (S150) power to all other DIMMs. A DIMM power rail (320) may be coupled to each of the DIMMs (310), the DIMM power rail being configured to selectively have power being supplied to respective DIMMs turned off in response to enable/disable logic signals.
