Abstract:
Embodiments of mechanisms for dynamic media content type streaming management for mobile devices are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the mobile device may receive selection input pertaining to generating output from a media file containing at least two of audio data, video data, and closed-captioning data, the selection input selecting at least one of audio, video, and closed-captioning to be output during play of the media content. In some embodiments, the mobile device may generate an audio output as a signal in response to the selection input including audio. In some embodiments, the mobile device may generate a video output as a signal in response to the selection input including video. In some embodiments, the mobile device may generate a closed-captioning output as a signal in response to selection input including closed-captioning.
Abstract:
Systems and methods may use proximate communication to retrieve information pertaining to a target device. In one example, the method may include detecting the target device within a vicinity of a user device, receiving an information request response communication including information pertaining to the target device, and receiving an operation request response communication including information pertaining to a performed operation.

Abstract:
A method and device for streaming the output of one or more audio sources to one or more smart headsets includes establishing a secure connection with a smart headset, associating an audio channel of the one or more audio sources with the smart headset, and streaming the associated audio channel to the smart headset. The audio streaming device may selectively stream one or more audio channels from one or more audio sources to one or more of the smart headsets as a function of a streaming policy.
Abstract:
Systems and techniques for a cloud based virtual mobile device are described herein. A virtual mobile device may be initialized to correspond to a physical mobile device. The virtual mobile device may include a representation of a physical mobile device operating environment. A service request for the physical mobile device operating environment may be received. The service request may be fulfilled using the representation of the physical mobile device operating environment.

Abstract:
Techniques for providing security for a computing device are described herein. In one example, a maintenance issue for the computing device is detected. Additionally, a maintenance credential proximate the computing device can be detected. Furthermore, an alarm system within the computing device can be disabled in response to detecting an authorized maintenance credential.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus relating to communication link and network connectivity management in low power mode are described. In one embodiment, logic manages one or more external communication network links (also referred as “links”) in response to a determination that a processor has entered a low power consumption state and based on policy information. The logic also blocks/intercepts one or more signals, corresponding to management of the one or more links, that are directed to the processor to allow the processor to stay in the low power consumption. Other embodiments are also claimed and disclosed.
Abstract:
Technologies for enforcing an expiration policy on an electronic engineering sample component includes a one-time programmable fuse to store a manufacture date of the electronic engineering sample component, another one-time programmable fuse to store an expiration date of the electronic engineering sample component, and a component life management engine to compare a current date of the electronic engineering sample component with the expiration date of the electronic engineering sample component. The component life management engine to disable or lock the electronic engineering sample component in response to determining that the current date of the electronic engineering sample component exceeds the expiration date of the electronic engineering sample component. In some embodiments, a computing device may enforce the expiration policy for the electronic engineering sample component. The computing device may also be communicatively coupled to a remote unlock server and may receive authorization to unlock a disabled engineering sample component.
Abstract:
A method, system, and computer-readable storage medium for providing a unique identifier for a computer system and a message from a service external to the computer system, such as a laptop return service, for display when the computer system is powered on. The computer system is configured to restrict functionality until the service authorizes restoration of full functionality of the computer system. The message includes contact information for the laptop return service and, when the service is contacted, the service sends an instruction to return the computer system to full functionality. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
