A method and mechanism for annotating a transaction stream. A processing unit is configured to generate annotation transactions which are inserted into a transaction stream. The transaction stream, including the annotations, are subsequently observed by a trace unit for debug or other analysis. In one embodiment, a processing unit includes a trace address register and an annotation enable bit. The trace address register is configured to store an address corresponding to a trace unit and the enable bit is configured to indicate whether annotation transactions are to be generated. Annotation instructions are added to operating system or user code at locations where annotations are desired. In one embodiment, annotation transactions correspond to transaction types which are not unique to annotation transactions. In one embodiment, an annotation instruction includes a reference to the trace address register which contains the address of the trace unit. Upon detecting the annotation instruction, and detecting annotations are enabled, the processing unit generates an annotation transaction addressed to the trace unit. In one embodiment, annotation transactions may be used to indicate context switches, processor mode changes, timestamps, or address translation information.

The system and methods described herein may exploit hardware transactional memory to improve the performance of a software or hybrid transactional memory implementation, even when an entire user transaction cannot be executed within a hardware transaction. The user code of an atomic transaction may be executed within a software transaction, which may collect read and write sets and / or other information about the atomic transaction. A single hardware transaction may be used to commit the atomic transaction by validating the transaction's read set and applying the effects of the user code to memory, reducing the overhead associated with commitment of software transactions. Because the hardware transaction code is carefully controlled, it may be less likely to fail to commit. Various remedial actions may be taken before retrying hardware transactions following some failures. If a transaction exceeds the constraints of the hardware, it may be committed by the software transactional memory alone.

The transactional memory system described herein may apply a mix of read validation techniques to validate read operations (e.g., invisible reads and / or semi-visible reads) in different transactions, or to validate different read operations within a single transaction (including reads of the same location). The system may include mechanisms to dynamically determine that a read validation technique should be replaced by a different technique for reads of particular locations or for all subsequent reads, and / or to dynamically adjust the balance between different read validation techniques to manage costs. Some of the read validation techniques may be supported by hardware transactional memory (HTM). The system may delay acquisition of ownership records for reading, and may acquire two or more ownership records back-to-back (e.g., within a single hardware transaction). The user code of a software transaction may be divided into multiple segments, some of which may be executed within a hardware transaction.

An ultra-wide band (UWB) waveform generator and encoder for use in a UWB digital communication system. The UWB waveform is made up of a sequence of shaped wavelets. The waveform generator produces multi-amplitude, multi-phase wavelets that are time-constrained, zero mean, and can be orthogonal in phase, yet still have a −10 dB power spectral bandwidth that is larger than the frequency of the peak of the power spectrum In one embodiment, the wavelets are bi-phase wavelets. The encoder multiplies each data bit by an n-bit identifying code, (e.g., a user code), resulting in a group of wavelets corresponding to each data bit. The identifying codeword is passed onto the UWB waveform generator for generation of a UWB waveform that can be transmitted via an antenna.

A computing device incorporates a user sensor to signal when a user is moving or within a specified proximity of the computing device. If the user is not present, the computing device will go into a low-power mode. A real-time clock is programmed to interrupt at user indicted event times and dates. If a queued event occurs, the computing device samples the user sensor and begins notification procedures if the user is present. If a queued event time occurs while the user is not present, then the computing device enters or stays in the low-power mode. If the user sensor indicates that the user is present, the computing device notifies the user of the pending event and any missed events. The computing device may require a user code before normal operation is activated following a transition to an indication that the user is present.

A second subscription for the mobile station subscriber and associated with the subscriber identity module (SIM) is opened; a record corresponding to the opened second subscription and comprising a second subscription-specific call number (MSISDN), a second subscriber identity code (IMSI1) and the encryption key (Ki) is created in the second subscriber register (HLR2); a message (SMS) is sent through the communication system directed to the first subscription and instructing that the data stored in the subscriber identity module be changed from data corresponding to the first subscription to data corresponding to the second subscription.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for abstracting processing layers within a messaging infrastructure so that changes or enhancements can be made to the infrastructure while retaining existing functionality. Message transport implementations are abstracted within a message layer, allowing other layers within the infrastructure to interact with messages in a more structured fashion, largely independent of message transport. Transport examples include named pipes, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), etc. A channel layer above the message layer abstracts message exchange implementations, allowing other layers within the infrastructure to send and receive messages in a more structured fashion, largely independent of the message exchange semantics of a specific implementation. Message exchange examples include datagrams, dialogs, monologs, queues, and the like. Above the channel layer and message layer, a service layer abstracts the binding implementations that bind message exchange implementations to user code implementations.

This invention provides a method for transferring third party landing based on IP network including: a door network station carries a ciphered KEY generated randomly by a service server to send a link request to a third party network station so as to avoid transmission of user ciphered codes and ensure absolute security of user codes, besides, since the third party network station calls back the Web server by copying the ciphered KEY to verify the cryptographic key so as to secure the absolute safety of shaking hands, since the door network station does not transfer user ciphered codes with the third party network station, which is not necessary to synchronize with the door station about codes, thus the requirement of complicated maintenance to synchronization on ciphered codes to the third party is reduced. This invention also provides a system for authenticating the transfer of third party landing based on the IP network and the third party network station and service servers.

A network landing system with face identification and a landing method; the feature information which is submitted when a user registers on the network system and comprises the face information is memorized, when the user lands again, the corresponding validation is implemented according to the selected landing pattern, e.g. when user selects the pattern of face identification for landing, the face information of user is collected in real time to be compared with the one which is submitted when the user registers; in this way the real ID of the network user can be confirmed and the user code can be prevented from being stolen, the loss of the user ID can be prevented; at the same time, because the submitted face information in registration can be memorized locally, the network user can manage the landing ID, so the security of the user ID is promoted.

A method of intercepting application program interface, including dynamic installation of associated software, within the user portion of an operating system. An API interception control server in conjunction with a system call interception module loads into all active process spaces an API interception module. An initializer module within the API interception module hooks and patches all API modules in the active process address space. When called by the application programs, the API routines' flow of execution, by virtue of their patched code, is re-directed into a user-supplied code in a pre-entry routine of the API interception module. The API routine might be completely by-passed or its input parameters might be filtered and changed by the user code. During the operation, the API routine is double-patched by the API interception module to ensure that all simultaneous calls to the API routine will re-direct its flow of control into the API interception module. A user-supplied code in a post-entry module of the API interception module might filter or change the return values of the API.

A Segment Interface Program (SIP) is disclosed that enables a user to choose locations in other applications to receive segments, and to mark segments for manual or automatic transmission to those applications. The SIP comprises an Application Interface Program (AIP), a Segment Creator Program (SCP), a Segment Queue Program (SQP), and a Segment Delivery Program (SDP). The SIP accesses a Rules database, a codes database, and a queue database. The AIP enables a user to select a location in an application and assign an application code and a location code to the location. The SCP enables a user to select a segment in a chat transcript, assign an application code and a location code to the segment, and send the segment to the SQP. The SQP receives the segment, assigns a queue number, and places the segment in a queue table. The SDP reads the user code, the application code and, when the application is active, sends the segment to the location in the application with the corresponding code. A single segment may be inserted into an application in multiple locations by creating additional codes for multiple instances of a location.
