Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a remote display protocol (RDP) server, such as a hand-held mobile device, and to control various aspects of the RDP client, such as a large display. SOLUTION: When a user wishes to use a RDP system to project the display 200 from the user's laptop computer onto a large-screen display mounted in a conference room, the user controls the aspects of the remote client such as the location, size, and full-screen treatment.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and method to expand the display area available to wireless devices. SOLUTION: The apparatus has a frame buffer 120 having a first area allocated to buffer display information for content to be displayed on a local display. A frame buffer allocator 145 is to dynamically expand the frame buffer to include one or more additional areas allocated to buffer display information for content to be displayed on one or more remote displays associated with one or more wireless devices. A dynamic geometry manager is to configure the one or more additional areas of the frame buffer. One or more remote-frame-buffer protocols are to transfer the display information from the one or more additional areas to the one or more wireless devices. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To extend a display area usable in wireless devices. SOLUTION: An apparatus that includes memory to store application window images of applications running thereon and a composite display generator to generate a composite display based on at least some of the application window images stored in the memory and any application window images received from other wireless devices. The apparatus may also include a remote frame buffer protocol to transmit at least some of the application window images stored in the memory to the other wireless devices. The apparatus may include a frame buffer to store the composite display and a display to display the composite display stored in the frame buffer. The apparatus may include a communication interface to establish wireless communication links with the other wireless devices. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus regarding media access control (MAC) layer processing for supporting social networking and advertisements via a MAC layer of a local personal area network (PAN). SOLUTION: A generator logic generates the service announcements to be advertised. A MAC layer processor inserts the service announcements into beacons in the local MAC layer of the local PAN, and further, receives advertisements from other devices via the MAC layer of the local PAN. A monitor logic monitors whether or not there are advertisements corresponding to the selected service category in the MAC layer of the local PAN. Further, the monitor logic is operatively coupled to an application interface so as to display advertised services corresponding to the selected service category. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for processing information items. Processing comprises one of context filtering, context prioritizing, or both context filtering and context prioritizing. In some embodiments the set of context items form which processing criteria are derived includes a user's calendar or appointments, schedule changes, exceptions, and the like.
Abstract:
Processor speed associated with each of different types of processing requirements is determined. These processor speeds are aggregated together to form an effective processor speed for a processor in a system. The s processor speed for the processor enables meeting the different types of processing requirements while reducing power consumption.
Abstract:
An embodiment of the invention includes an article with instructions that enable a first unit to: (a) sense the first unit's local surroundings to determine sensed data; (b) receive and decrypt encrypted context data directly from a second unit (the second unit located nearby the first unit and the context data corresponding to the first unit's local surroundings); and (c) based on the sensed data and the decrypted context data, communicate directly with the second unit. Other embodiments are described herein.
Abstract:
Verfahren, das folgende Schritte umfasst: Generieren (511) einer ersten Dienstankündigung entsprechend einer Anwendung, die einen lokalen Dienst umfasst; Anbieten der ersten Dienstankündigung auf einedrahtlosen Ad-Hoc-Netzwerks; Empfangen (513) einer Anforderung einer Verbindung von einem anderen Gerät auf dem drahtlosen Ad-Hoc-Netzwerk als Antwort auf die erste Dienstankündigung; und Aufbauen einer Netzwerkschicht-Verbindung mit dem anderen Gerät, um dem anderen Gerät zu gestatten, auf die Anwendung zuzugreifen, wenn anwendungsspezifische Schlüssel, welche die Anwendung identifizieren, in einer Dienstinformation in der ersten Dienstankündigung auf der lokalen MAC-Schicht gesendet werden, und auf eine abgeleitete Anwendung zuzugreifen, wenn anwendungsspezifische Schlüssel aus anderen Informationen abgeleitet werden.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for media access control (MAC) layer processing to support social networking and advertisements over the MAC layer of a local personal area network (PAN). An application interface permits a service category corresponding to the application to be selected, and further permits service announcements corresponding to the application to be advertised. Generator logic may generate the service announcements to be advertised. The MAC layer processor inserts the service announcements into beacons in the local MAC layer of the local PAN and also receives advertisements from other devices over the MAC layer of the local PAN. Monitor logic can monitor the MAC layer of the local PAN for advertisements corresponding to the selected service category. The monitor logic is also operatively coupled with the application interface for displaying advertised services corresponding to the selected service category.
