PREVENTING A COMPUTER FROM PERFORMING
Technical Examples
- A method of and system for securely executing an application on a computer system such that a user of the computer system cannot access or view unauthorized content available on the computer system or accessible using the computer system. To securely execute an such method and system may terminate any unauthorized processes executing (i.e., running) on the computer system application prior to execution of the application, and may configure the application such that unauthorized content cannot be accessed, including configuring the application such that unauthorized processes cannot be initiated (i.e., launched) by the application. Further, such system and method may terminate any unauthorized processes detected during execution of the application, and may disable any functions of the computer system that are capable of accessing unauthorized content, including disabling any functions capable of initiating processes on the computer system. The application being securely executed may be any of a variety of types of applications, for example, a browser application or an application for receiving answers to questions of an examination (i.e., an exam-taking application). Securely executing an application may be used for any of a variety of purposes, including, among other purposes, to assist preventing students from cheating on exams, to assist preventing students from not paying attention in class, to assist preventing employees from wasting time at work, and to assist preventing children from viewing content that their parents deem inappropriate.
- A testing system (20) includes a database server (201) for storing relevant data employed by the testing system, a gateway (202), a shop flow control server (203) for controlling the operations of the testing system via the gateway, a computer (204) for connecting with the database server and the gateway, a first test end (206) connecting to the computer, and a second test end (209) connecting to the database server and the gateway. The computer includes a board function test module (2040) for performing a board function test, an assembly test module (2042) for performing an assembly test, a system test module (2044) for performing a system test, a high potential test module (2046) for performing a high potential test, and an out of box assurance module (2048) for performing an electrical test. The shop flow control server communicates with the database server and the computer via the gateway.
- A method, system, and software for preventing cheating during online gaming on a first computer system, include receiving information regarding cheaters detected during online gaming gathered by a second computer system; and making the received information available to the first computer system. Advantageously, a cheater identified on the second computer system is prevented from online gaming on the first computer system. A method, system, and software for preventing cheating during online gaming also is described, including receiving information regarding cheaters detected during online gaming from a first computer system; and transmitting information regarding cheaters detected during online gaming gathered from a plurality of online gaming computer systems to the first computer system. Advantageously, cheaters identified on the plurality of online gaming computer systems are prevented from online gaming on the first computer system.
- A method of computer start-up, using the configuration information of the internal and peripheral components of the computer system and information required for executing initialization of these components, and performing fast test and initialization of the components of the system. The information is pre-stored in the computer system. The present invention can perform fast start-up of the computer, significantly reduce the time needed to start up the computer, improve the efficiency of start-up of the computer, and save the waiting time for users.
- A method, system and article of manufacture for reducing a deadlock probability during transaction processing in a computer network system having a plurality of users of the network system that comprises a content management system performing implicit transactions via API calls to a library server on a plurality of entities shareable by users of the network. The computer-implemented method comprises invoking a transaction sequence in response to a transaction request, performing a prepare portion of the transaction sequence, implicitly committing the prepare portion of the transaction, performing an update portion of the transaction sequence, and fully committing the transaction.
