摘要： A system for managing a subscription-based computer independent of an operating system of the computer may include a security module that accesses, decrements, and stores subscription data during operation of the subscription-based computer. Additionally, the system may include a network module in communication with the security module and comprising a network stack, a web server, and a user interface in an operating system independent format. A web browser of the computer may request the user interface from the network stack. The interface may be populated with the subscription data, and a network driver may retrieve the populated user interface from the network module. The populated interface may then be sent to the web server to be served back to the requesting web browser.

摘要： A system for binding a subscription-based computer to an internet service provider (ISP) may include a binding module and a security module residing on the computer. The binding module may identify and authenticate configuration data from peripheral devices that attempt to connect to the computer, encrypt any requests for data from the computer to the ISP, and decrypt responses from the ISP. If the binding module is able to authenticate the configuration data and the response to the request for data from the ISP, then the security module may allow the communication between the computer and the ISP. However, if either the configuration cycle or the response cannot be properly verified, then the security module may degrade operation of the computer.

摘要： Described is a technology by which a computing device is booted into a normal mode of operation or a limited mode of operation, depending on whether the computing device was operating correctly (e.g., with respect to policy) prior to a reboot. The reboot may be forced. Examples of incorrect state include an overdue payment on a leased computer, or improper execution of certain important software. A metering mechanism evaluates the state of the computing device, and when an incorrect state is detected, configures the computing device for operation in the limited mode, by setting the computing device to boot via one boot path (e.g., a limited-mode BIOS) instead of another boot path (e.g., a normal-mode BIOS). A BIOS selector switches to the limited BIOS on the next reboot, wherein the computing device is restricted to the limited mode of operation (regardless of subsequent reboots) until the correct state is restored.
摘要翻译：描述了根据计算设备在重新启动之前是否正确地操作（例如，关于策略）是否将计算设备引导到正常操作模式或有限操作模式的技术。重启可能会被强制。错误状态的示例包括租用计算机上的逾期付款或某些重要软件的不当执行。计量机构评估计算装置的状态，并且当检测到不正确的状态时，通过将计算装置通过一个引导路径（例如，限制模式BIOS）来设置计算装置来配置在限制模式中操作的计算装置，而不是另一个引导路径（例如，普通模式BIOS）。 BIOS选择器在下一次重新启动时切换到有限的BIOS，其中计算设备被限制到有限的操作模式（不管后续重新启动），直到恢复正确的状态。

摘要： A system and method for maintaining persistent data during an unexpected power loss uses a memory controller and a supplemental power source. An entity running on the computer, for example, an application program, a utility, the operating system or other entity, may identify data for preservation using an application program interface. The application program interface may be provided by the memory controller. A sensor determines when an unexpected power loss has occurred and signals the memory controller. Using power from the supplemental power source, i.e. a battery or capacitor, the memory controller copies the identified data to a non-volatile memory. The memory controller may set a flag to indicate that preserved data is available for later recovery.

摘要： Techniques are described which provide an independent computation environment. The independent computation environment is contained at least in part in a set of one or more hardware components and configured to host a provisioning module that is executable to provision functionality of the computing device according to a wide variety of factors. In an implementation, when the provisioning module determines that particular functionality is referenced in an inclusion list, the computing device is permitted to access the particular functionality. When the provisioning module determines that the particular functionality is referenced in an exclusion list, the computing device is prevented from accessing the particular functionality.

摘要： A computer is adapted for use in different operating modes by configuring an output controller, such as a graphics processing unit, to screen output signals prior to presenting them to the output device. A secure environment in the output controller verifies a digital signature or a hash of the output signal to determine whether the output signal is compatible with the current mode of operation. Thus only authorized output signals are presented when the computer is operating in a limited function mode, such as when metered usage time is expired. The apparatus and method also disclose similar output signal screening for determining whether the computer should be returned from a standby, or no-metering, mode to an active, or metered mode.

摘要： An electronic device, such as, a computer, may be adapted for self-monitoring for compliance to an operating policy. The operating policy may specify a pay-per-use or subscription business model and measurements associated with compliant usage. A secure execution environment may measure usage in accordance with the business model as well as monitor and enforce compliance to the operating policy. To increase the difficulty of attacking or otherwise disabling the secure execution environment, elements of the secure execution environment may be distributed. The distribution points may include other functional elements of the computer, such as interface circuits, or may even be remotely located over a network. An implementation method for disaggregating the secure execution environment is also disclosed.

摘要： A computer is modified to add a memory management module between a memory controller and memory. The module may control or intercept signals between the memory controller and the memory to disable a portion or all of the computer's normal function. The memory management module may be a discrete device or may be part of the memory controller itself.

摘要： To enforce contractual usage terms on an electronic device, such as a computer, a security function or circuit may consume all the devices processing power except enough to run a restoration program. The security function may provide problems or challenges for the processor to solve that are designed to consume all but a fraction of the processors compute power. Another embodiment occupies nearly all the device's system memory with a pattern and requires the device to respond to requests related to the memory contents. Both approaches place time limits on the response to help ensure the resource allocations are not being avoided. The security circuit may reset the computer when an incorrect or when no response is received within the time limit.
摘要翻译：为了在诸如计算机的电子设备上执行合同使用条款，安全功能或电路可以消耗除了足够运行恢复程序之外处理能力的所有设备。安全功能可能会为处理器提供解决被设计为消耗处理器计算能力的一部分的所有问题或挑战。另一实施例占据了几乎所有设备的系统存储器的模式，并且要求设备响应与存储器内容有关的请求。这两种方法对响应都设置时间限制，以帮助确保资源分配不被避免。安全电路可能会在计算机不正确或在时间内没有收到响应的情况下重置计算机。
