| 20100327774 | Housing Illumination for Portable Electronic Devices - Systems, devices and methods for electronically marking a housing of a portable electronic device are disclosed. When the housing of the portable electronic device is electronically marked, the marking(s) are non-permanent and able to be rapidly and dynamically changed. The marked housing can provide notification or guidance to a user. The housing can also be electronically marked in a manner that facilitates low power operation of the portable electronic device. The portable electronic device can, for example, be a mobile phone (e.g., cell phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a computer peripheral (e.g., mouse), a portable media player, and the like. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110040980 | File Management Safe Deposit Box - Safe deposit box functionality is disclosed. In one aspect, first input dragging-and-dropping a first file representation onto a safe deposit box icon is received, and a file corresponding to the first file representation is encrypted. Second input selecting the safe deposit box icon is received from a user. The user's identity is verified in response to the second input. A safe deposit box window, including a second file representation of the file, is displayed. A user is allowed access to the file in response to third input selecting the second file representation. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110078149 | Management of Access to Data Distributed Across Multiple Computing Devices - Methods, systems and apparatus for a distributed data environment in which data can be seamlessly accessed from remote computing devices are disclosed. For a given user having multiple computing devices, a personal distributed data bank can be formed from data storage capacities resident at the multiple computing device. The given user can access data on any of the multiple computing devices without knowing on which of the multiple computing devices the data resides. In one embodiment, an index for the user's data within the personal distributed data bank can be provided to facilitate searching, browsing and accessing of user data by the given user. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110108449 | Packaging - Packaging comprising a base having an interior space for receiving an item, wherein the base includes a bottom surface and one or more side surfaces; a ledge formed along a side surface; and a holder supported by the ledge, wherein the holder includes a retaining mechanism for retaining the item. | 05-12-2011 |
