20080220811 | System and method for obtaining location of wireless telephone from internet server - A user who loses or has stolen his wireless telephone can access an Internet server that prompts the phone to send to the server (and, hence, the user) the GPS location of the phone. Also, when a wireless telephone reaches a low voltage state, indicating the imminent loss of the ability to call the phone to cause it to ring as a location aid, the phone automatically sends its last GPS location to the server. | 09-11-2008 |
20150089130 | DYNAMICALLY ALLOCATING TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT STORAGE FOR A DRIVE IN A RAID ARRAY - One embodiment provides a system, including: one or more processors; a network interface for communication with a remote bank of available storage; a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) operatively coupled to the one or more processors; and a memory operatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to: ascertain at least one unavailable hard disk drive (HDD) of the RAID; determine an available remote storage target; dynamically update a storage destination for data to be stored from the at least one unavailable HDD of the RAID to the available remote storage target; and send the data over the network interface to the available remote storage target. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 03-26-2015 |
20150163294 | SERVICE PROCESSOR FOR CONFIGURING SERVERS JOINING PEER TO PEER NETWORK - A first server includes a processor and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to determine that a server is present that has not had settings other than at most default settings applied to a basic input output system (BIOS) executable by the server to boot the server. The instructions are also executable by the processor to, based at least in part on a determination that the server is the same model of server as the apparatus, has the same BIOS version as the apparatus, and/or has the same baseboard management controller (BMC) version as the apparatus, facilitate over a peer to peer server network at least some settings in the apparatus to be provisioned to the server to establish the at least some settings in the server. | 06-11-2015 |
20150199172 | NON-AUDIO NOTIFICATION OF AUDIBLE EVENTS - An aspect provides a method, including: receiving audio input via an audio receiver of an information handling device; matching, using a processor, the audio input to a predetermined audio; and providing a non-audio notification matched to the predetermined audio. Other aspects are described and claimed. | 07-16-2015 |
20150235075 | PREVENTING DISPLAY CLEARING - For preventing clearing of a display, a method is disclosed that includes receiving input from a non-tactile sensor, determining user activity based on the input from the sensor, and preventing a display from clearing in response to determining the user activity. | 08-20-2015 |
20150258894 | OPERATOR/PASSENGER SELECTIVE VEHICLE INSTRUMENT LOCKS - An embodiment provides a method, including: receiving input via a sensor positioned within a vehicle; determining, using the senor input, a passenger is within the vehicle; and analyzing the input received via the sensor to selectively disable a feature of an information handling device within the vehicle. In some embodiments, different sets of instruments or features thereof may be selectively disabled depending on the presence of a driver and/or passenger. Other aspects are described and claimed. | 09-17-2015 |
20150325095 | ADJUSTING LIGHT EMITTED BY A DEVICE BASED ON CHARGE OR DISCHARGE RATE OF A BATTERY ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEVICE - In one aspect, a device includes a battery, a display, a processor, and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to detect a rate of charge of the battery or a rate of discharge of the battery and, based at least in part on the detected rate, actuate at least one of the display and a light on the device other than the display to indicate the detected rate. The display and/or light are actuated based on the detected rate without user input to actuate the display or the light to indicate the detected rate, and without user input to detect or determine the rate of charge of the battery or discharge of the battery. | 11-12-2015 |
20150341763 | ON HOLD DETECTION - A method includes detecting when a call is placed on hold on a call enabled device by another party on the call, performing an action via the call enabled device based on detection that the call has been placed on hold, and detecting when the call is taken off of hold. A user of the call enabled device may be notified when the call has been taken off of hold. | 11-26-2015 |
