International Classification:

G06F 9/00
G06F 11/00
G06F 15/177

US Classification:

713 2, 713 1, 714 24, 714 36

Abstract:

Example embodiments relate to a machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor of a computing device including a display device. The machine-readable storage medium may include instructions that access a stored indication upon boot-up of the computing device using a Basic Input Output System (BIOS). In addition, the machine-readable storage medium may include instructions that determine, using the stored indication, whether an operating system (OS) of the computing device exited properly, and instructions that display a BIOS productivity display using the display device when it is determined that the computing device exited properly. Still further, the machine-readable storage medium may include instructions that permit the OS to display a recovery display when it is determined that the OS did not exit properly.

International Classification:

G06F 128

US Classification:

713340, 713300, 713320, 713330

Abstract:

A laptop computer system executes automatic battery calibration to improve the accuracy of the batterys internal charge monitor. The calibration procedure drains the battery to approximately 0% of charge capacity during normal computer operation, permitting a user to operate the computer without risking power failure when the battery discharges. The computer returns to normal operation if either the AC power or the battery is removed. During the calibration procedure, the computer system prevents power management software from forcing shut down before the battery completely drains.

International Classification:

G06F 11/07
G06F 9/445

US Classification:

714 15

Abstract:

Fault of a particular module in an electronic device is detected. In response to detecting the fault, an update module is retrieved from a network site over a network to update the particular module, where the network stack is independent of a network stack associated with an operating system in the electronic device.
