20080263371 | PROTECTED VOLUME ON A DATA STORAGE DEVICE WITH DUAL OPERATING SYSTEMS AND CONFIGURABLE ACCESS AND ENCRYPTION CONTROLS - A method provides a protected region of a data storage device associated with a computational device, where data in the protected region is primarily protected by preventing access without proper access authorization. The method comprises the steps of providing, in an unprotected region of the data storage device, a first operating system and associated operating system data; monitoring operating system data accessed by the computational device until a predetermined functionality becomes available; storing, in the protected region, the monitored operating system data; providing, in the protected region, a second operating system; transferring control of the computational device from the first operating system to the second operating system; storing data in the protected region; and preventing access to the stored data in the protected region without access authorization. In a further embodiment of the method, the second operating system optionally provides a second level of security by preventing decryption of data stored in the protected region without decryption authorization. | 10-23-2008 |
20100058057 | REMOTE COMPUTER MANAGEMENT WHEN A PROXY SERVER IS PRESENT AT THE SITE OF A MANAGED COMPUTER - The invention facilitates remote management of a computer via a network. Remote computer management in which communication between a managed computer and a remote computer management server is initiated by the managed computer is implemented so that the presence of a proxy server at the site at which the managed computer is located can be detected, and communication from the managed computer to the remote computer management server is routed to a communication port assigned for communication with the proxy server, with instructions to then send the communication to the remote computer management server. | 03-04-2010 |
20110078676 | USE OF A DYNAMICALY LOADED LIBRARY TO UPDATE REMOTE COMPUTER MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY - The invention facilitates remote management of a computer via a network. Remote computer management capability can be updated by providing to a managed computer, for use by software operating on the managed computer to effect management actions, a dynamically loaded library (or other set of instructions and/or data that will not be identified as a new executing process on the managed computer) that includes functionality not previously enabled by the software operating on the managed computer. | 03-31-2011 |
20120198044 | REMOTE COMPUTER MANAGEMENT USING NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL THAT ENABLES COMMUNICATION THROUGH A FIREWALL AND/OR GATEWAY - The invention facilitates remote management of a computer via a network. Remote computer management in which communication between a managed computer and a remote computer management server is initiated by the managed computer is implemented so that the communication is formatted in accordance with a network communications protocol that can be used to format communication that is allowed to pass through a firewall and/or gateway that mediates communication with the managed computer. | 08-02-2012 |
20120246479 | PRIMITIVE FUNCTIONS FOR USE IN REMOTE COMPUTER MANAGEMENT - The invention facilitates remote management of a computer via a network. Remote computer management capability can be expanded beyond that previously available through the addition of one or more new primitive functions that can be performed on a managed computer. | 09-27-2012 |
20130031368 | REMOTE COMPUTER MANAGEMENT WHEN A PROXY SERVER IS PRESENT AT THE SITE OF A MANAGED COMPUTER - The invention facilitates remote management of a computer via a network. Remote computer management in which communication between a managed computer and a remote computer management server is initiated by the managed computer is implemented so that the presence of a proxy server at the site at which the managed computer is located can be detected, and communication from the managed computer to the remote computer management server is routed to a communication port assigned for communication with the proxy server, with instructions to then send the communication to the remote computer management server. | 01-31-2013 |
20130262650 | MANAGEMENT OF A DEVICE CONNECTED TO A REMOTE COMPUTER USING THE REMOTE COMPUTER TO EFFECT MANAGEMENT ACTIONS - The invention facilitates remote management of a computer via a network. Remote management of a device connected to a managed computer can be effected by using the managed computer as a proxy for conducting a management action regarding the connected device on behalf of a remote computer management server. | 10-03-2013 |
20140143400 | REMOTE COMPUTER MANAGEMENT USING NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL THAT ENABLES COMMUNICATION THROUGH A FIREWALL AND/OR GATEWAY - The invention facilitates remote management of a computer via a network. Remote computer management in which communication between a managed computer and a remote computer management server is initiated by the managed computer is implemented so that the communication is formatted in accordance with a network communications protocol that can be used to format communication that is allowed to pass through a firewall and/or gateway that mediates communication with the managed computer. | 05-22-2014 |
20140372757 | PRIMITIVE FUNCTIONS FOR USE IN REMOTE COMPUTER MANAGEMENT - The invention facilitates remote management of a computer via a network. Remote computer management capability can be expanded beyond that previously available through the addition of one or more new primitive functions that can be performed on a managed computer. | 12-18-2014 |
