20090163226 | Device, system, and method of power saving using location sensing modules - A method, apparatus and system for, in a computing apparatus, periodically activating a location operating system detecting a substantial change in the location of the apparatus, selecting a computing environment from a predetermined set of computing environments based on the change in the location of the apparatus, where the selected computing environment may be the most appropriate computing environment for the changed location, and altering the power mode of one or more components of the apparatus, specified by the selected computing environment. | 06-25-2009 |
20140012917 | SHARING USER INFORMATION WITH PROXIMATE DEVICES - Embodiments of techniques and systems for sharing user information between proximate devices are described. In embodiments, a first device may identify a physically-proximate device that may receive user information. Upon receiving an indication that a user of the first device may desire to share user information with a user of the second device, a determination may be made as to whether the two users have matching interests. In embodiments, the interest match determination may be made by a separate interest match evaluator. Upon determination of an interest match, the first device may then send a request to share user information to the second device. If a user of the second device approves the request, user information for the user of the first device may be shared with the user of the second device. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. | 01-09-2014 |

20080244267 | Local and remote access control of a resource - Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, and apparatuses for local and remote access to a resource. In some embodiments, an integrated circuit includes a configurable hardware resource. In addition, the integrated circuit may also include access control logic to authenticate agents that attempt to configure the resource. In some embodiments, the agents may be in-band or out-of-band agents. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 10-02-2008 |
20090164772 | LOCATION BASED POLICY SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CHANGING COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS - A system and method for changing compute environments for a mobile platform device. The mobile platform includes a sensory and location determination engine coupled to a policy engine. The sensory and location determination engine determines a current location of the mobile platform device and the policy engine determines what applications to launch, what applications not to launch, and what core usage to invoke for the determined location of the mobile platform device. | 06-25-2009 |
20120173897 | LOCATION BASED POLICY SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CHANGING COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS - A system and method for changing computing environments for a mobile platform device. The mobile platform includes a sensory and location determination engine coupled to a policy engine. The sensory and location determination engine determines a current location of the mobile platform device and the policy engine determines what applications to launch, what applications not to launch, and what core usage to invoke for the determined location of the mobile platform device. | 07-05-2012 |
20130297424 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO AUTOMATE HAGGLING BEFORE PHYSICAL POINT-OF-SALE COMMERCE - In one example embodiment of a method for automating business negotiations, a vendor offers a product for sale at an original price. Subsequently, an automated haggling system receives a counteroffer to buy the product from a mobile device controlled by a shopper. The counteroffer proposes a second price for the product. In response to the counteroffer, the automated haggling system automatically determines whether the second price is acceptable. This determination may be based on data from a negotiation database with data identifying acceptable reduced prices. If the counteroffer proposes an acceptable price, the automated haggling system sends a message to the mobile device of the shopper to signify acceptance the counteroffer. In response to a determination that the shopper is purchasing the product at a point-of-sale (POS) station, the POS station automatically charges the shopper the negotiated price tier the product. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 11-07-2013 |
