When a disaster occurs, the state of the replication processing is determined and a restart copy of the data is made available from the recover site. Processing continues based on whether protection mode is desired such that the system executes using the recovery site as the restart with a replicated copy of the data. Data is propagated from the recovery site to the production site to resume operations and replication processing originating from the production site.

The method and system serve to notify the user of an event through a control device. Active notification takes place even when the computer sound and screen are disabled, for example, when in a power saving mode or screen saving mode. Notification may include visual notification, audio notification, vibratory notification, or tactile notification. Tactile notification can also serve to provide a private notification system which will not alert or disturb other people in the vicinity of the user. Such tactile notification can be provided by means of a texture change in the surface of the control device. One way in which this could be done is by raising a plurality of pegs through the surface of a control device to change its texture.

The invention provides a driving control circuit and an over-current protection method of a GOA circuit thereof. The method comprises the steps of isolating or closing the GOA circuit; receiving at least one current signal from a control panel; comparing the current signal with a preset short circuit current threshold value; selecting the operation mode of the GOA circuit according to the comparison result; if the current signal is less than the short circuit current threshold, opening the GOA circuit to enter a normal working mode; if the current signal is more than or equal to the short circuit current threshold, keeping the GOA circuit closed to enter an over-current protecting mode. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that the GOA circuit can be delayed to open or close, so that the short circuit protection mechanism can independently determine whether each current signal of the control plate exceeds the short circuit current threshold, the mistaken touch protection action caused by different current due to different plane display mode / three-dimensional display mode and different temperature can be avoided, and as a result, the operation reliability of the GOA circuit can be improved.

Collected information is analyzed by the mobile device to determine whether the device is displaced from the owner. The mobile device monitors and detects a reduction of ambient light to automatically enter into protection mode without manual activation. If an increase of ambient light and movement of the mobile device are both detected, then the device enters into authentication mode. Various techniques to verify the user's identity may be implemented in authentication mode. The user must correctly match an input key code, button combination, or an image recognition photograph against the stored information according to the method of verification chosen in each respective process. An alarm is activated if the device determines authentication is not received but may be disabled when the user's identity is verified after another authentication attempt.

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for protected mode scheduling of operations. Protected mode (e.g., user mode) scheduling can facilitate the development of programming frameworks that better reflect the requirements of the workloads through the use of workload-specific execution abstractions. In addition, the ability to define scheduling policies tuned to the characteristics of the hardware resources available and the workload requirements has the potential of better system scaling characteristics. Further, protected mode scheduling decentralizes the scheduling responsibility by moving significant portions of scheduling functionality from supervisor mode (e.g., kernel mode) to an application.

Digitally encoded content (e.g., music) is provided in a protected mode, along with a player that can unlock and / or decode this music on a user's personal computer (PC) for enjoyment only at their PC. Since the music is in a proprietary, protected form, the user cannot download to players for other formats, e.g., MP3 players, nor can a CD be burned for use external to the PC. If the user decides that they like the content and wants to use it on another playback device, e.g., a MP3 player, or copy it onto a CD-R for use in a standard audio player, the user can initiate a transaction for payment through the player. Once the transaction is completed, the player either converts or transforms the content into a format usable by the, e.g., MP3 player, or converts or transforms the content into wave format and writes it to a CD-R.
