| 20080313356 | REMOTE CONTROL OF DEVICES THROUGH INSTANT MESSENGER - Computerized methods and systems for controlling a peripheral device based, at least in part, upon remote user instructions are provided. Upon receiving a communication from the peripheral device (e.g., using a USB port), a computing device recognizes the peripheral device. Next, a command manifest is automatically generated that includes one or more commands that correspond to at least one controllable function of the peripheral device. In addition, the command manifest may be communicated to a remote-user device configured to present the commands to the remote user, typically, by displaying a representation of the commands at a user interface associated therewith. A transmission that includes content indicating one or more of the commands may be received from the remote-user device. Consequently, commands are determined from content and transferred to the peripheral device, which performs the corresponding controllable functions. | 12-18-2008 |

| 20120124244 | MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICE WITH ADAPTIVE RESPONSE BASED ON ACCESSORY FIRMWARE - Techniques for predicting accessory behavior and techniques for responding based on the predicted behavior are provided. A mobile computing device (MCD) determines firmware being used by an accessory. Based on the determination, the MCD can predict a command most likely to be received next from the accessory. After the MCD determines the command most likely to be received next from the accessory, the MCD can retrieve the information to be sent in response to the command and/or initiate an operation to be performed in response to the command prior to actually receiving the command from the accessory. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120159003 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AVOIDING HOST LEVEL BUSY AND RETRY LATENCIES - In one embodiment, a system includes logic adapted for receiving a command from a first system, logic adapted for determining which resources are required to process the command, logic adapted for checking for the required resources before receiving data associated with the command, logic adapted for receiving the data from the first system, logic adapted for checking for the required resources after receiving the data when the checking for the required resources before receiving data indicated that the required resources were not available before receiving the data, logic adapted for sending a status to the first system if the required resources are not available after receiving the data, and logic adapted for processing the command if the required resources are available either before receiving the data or after receiving the data. In more embodiments, a method and computer program product for processing a command are also presented. | 06-21-2012 |
| 20120311194 | PARTIAL SORT ON A HOST - A host devices transfers client data from a client device to the host device. The host device generates sort keys for host data that includes the client data.
