The present invention relates in general to portable communication devices, and in particular to systems and methods for performing and retrieving diagnostic information in such portable communication devices.
Many existing portable devices, such as cellular telephones, include one or more diagnostic applications (which may be in the form of software, firmware, and/or the like) operable to gather diagnostic information regarding the operation of the device. Such information may be helpful in diagnosing, and perhaps correcting, the cause of one or more abnormalities occurring in the operation of the device.
These abnormalities can occur in various hardware systems or in software applications within the device. In the present environment, in order to retrieve such diagnostic information from a cellular telephone, an "AT" command (similar to the command sets used to control modems) is sent to the serial port of the telephone from an external source. Typically, such command sets are sent by a test application executing on an external controller (such as a personal computer) attached to the serial port of the cellular telephone via a serial cable. In response to the receipt of the aforementioned command sets, the cellular telephone performs internal testing and transmits the diagnostic information to the external controller via the serial cable. The external controller, in turn, analyzes the information to determine if there are problems with the cellular telephone.
One drawback with the above-discussed approach is that it requires an additional piece of equipment, namely the external controller, to initiate the request for data and to then retrieve the diagnostic information from the cellular telephone. This additional piece of diagnostic equipment is one that users of cellular telephones typically do not own or have access to. Therefore, in order to retrieve the aforementioned diagnostic information, the cellular telephone must be carried (or sent) back to the manufacturer, and/or service provider, to be diagnosed. Even if the user of the cellular telephone owned such a controller, there is considerable complexity in configuring a general purpose computer for such tasks. Thus, the existing approaches are suitable only for a centralized professional testing system.
The typical serial port hardware driver is a piece of software which communicates with the actual hardware. Typically, hardware is visible to software by being mapped to some memory addresses (this is typically called memory mapped I/O). For example, a certain hardware signal may be mapped to memory address 0x800000. There is actually no memory at 0�800000. When the software writes a 1 to 0x800000, the hardware signal gets set to high. And when the software writes a 0, the line gets set to low. This is how software interacts with hardware.
Typically, the software that performs these functions, called the hardware driver, is separated in a separate module from the rest of the software. For instance, there may be a software function called set_trigger( ) which actually writes to location 0x800000 as in the above example. The rest of the software system only knows to call set_triggers( ), not to write to 0x800000. This is so the software system is not impacted if the hardware designer remaps the line somewhere else in memory.
The serial port device driver has knowledge of how to carry out serial communication protocol functions. It is capable of performing handshaking and sets the signals according to some predefined transitions so both sides of the communication link can exchange data. The device driver talks to the hardware through a hardware driver described above. That is, it does not write to an memory addresses, but rather does so through the hardware driver. The device driver can be said to encompass the hardware driver.
One embodiment of the present invention allows the user to perform loop-back and other diagnostic procedures within the portable device and allows for the retrieval of the aforementioned diagnostic information without the need for a physical connection to an external controller.
In one embodiment, the existing control structure of the portable device (including programs running on the device) is used to send the request for diagnostic testing to the device's serial port through a serial port driver. Rather than the regular serial port driver, requests are sent through the "virtual serial port" hardware driver, which has the same API as a regular serial port driver. This "virtual serial port" hardware driver itself then intercepts the request and sends the request back through the software layers of the device using the same device paths the request would have taken had it come from an external source through the regular serial port driver. The device then performs diagnostic testing on the "rerouted" request and the results of this diagnostic testing are sent back to the device's serial port where it is again rerouted to an internal diagnostic application. If desired, the diagnostic test results could be sent wirelessly to a remote test center for diagnostic purposes.
The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the features and technical advantages of the present invention in order that the detailed description of the invention that follows may be better understood. Additional features and advantages of the invention will be described hereinafter which form the subject of the claims of the invention. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the conception and specific embodiment disclosed may be readily utilized as a basis for modifying or designing other structures for carrying out the same purposes of the present invention. It should also be realized by those skilled in the art that such equivalent constructions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. The novel features which are believed to be characteristic of the invention, both as to its organization and method of operation, together with further objects and advantages will be better understood from the following description when considered in connection with the accompanying figures. It is to be expressly understood, however, that each of the figures is provided for the purpose of illustration and description only and is not intended as a definition of the limits of the present invention.
For a more complete understanding of the teachings of the present invention, reference is now made to the following descriptions taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which:
Before beginning a description of the embodiments of the present invention, it may be helpful to review how testing is accomplished in existing portable communication devices, such as, for example, cellular telephones.
Typically, to obtain diagnostic information, telephone 10 is attached to external controller 320 via serial cable 321 connected to plug 105′. External controller 320 typically is a personal computer having within it sophisticated diagnostic testing routines including diagnostic logic. A test application running on external controller 320 sends commands, such as an AT command, to device 10 via serial port hardware 105′ and 105. These commands cause the telephone to send diagnostic results to the controller via serial port drivers 104. Once those diagnostic results are obtained by the external controller, the results are analyzed to determine the status of the telephone.
In operation, when serial port 105 of telephone 10 receives a test command from external controller 320, for example an "AT" test command, that command is passed through the various layers 104, 103, 102, 101 triggering responses in the moss layers. These responses are processed by diagnostic firmware (or software) 102 and then sent back through the same layers and through serial port hardware 105, and serial cable 321 to external controller 320 for diagnostic testing within controller 320.
According to the present invention,
All serial port drivers have a buffer of some sort to store incoming data. This is because data may appear on the serial line while the main program is busy doing something else, so the serial port driver dutifully stores this data into memory (which takes very little CPU cycle time). Advantage is taken of this storage process in that when a test signal has passed through the device it is stored in the virtual port and not sent out. The port driver then signals the existence of this stored data (for example, through an interrupt or a memory flag) so that the main software can read the data. The loopback function is accomplished through two steps. First, the virtual hardware driver described is used such that the system does not write the data out to the actual serial port hardware, but, as discussed, stores the data in a buffer. The write ( ) function places the internal test data in this buffer, and a subsequent read ( ) causes the data from this buffer to be sent back through the devise for testing. This driver has the same API as a regular serial driver and will have the same behavior with respect to signaling an interrupt when there is data to be read in the buffer. Second, the virtual driver is added to the firmware listing on the device so that it is available in memory and thus behaves as any other driver stored in the lookup table. Before the diagnostics are run, the system modifies the entry for the serial hardware so that the pointer points to the new driver as opposed to the original driver and the normal processes within the device then control the testing. After the diagnostic tests, the pointer can be changed back to the original driver.
Note that the test command set can be activated by a user, for example, using keys 13 or by voice command. The test commands can also be generated internally, for example, by test application 22. Internal activation can be periodically activated or activated upon a detected trouble condition. Internal activation can be performed by having a program that runs in the background. This program would wake itself up (generally operating systems contain functions to allow a process to put itself to sleep for some period of time) periodically and check the hardware for abnormal states. Also, voice protocol stacks on these phones generate software interrupts upon state transitions (such as from idle to dialing, dialing to connected, etc.) or upon some abnormal exceptions (for example, loss of received signal, lost touch with base stations, etc.). Operating systems allow programs to be activated by software interrupts, so the system must register code with the desired interrupts so that the new driver can be woken up by the operating system.
When the test results are provided to test application 22, that application, in one embodiment, performs test analysis thereon. If desired, the test analysis results can be communicated to the user via screen 12, or speaker 14, and/or the results can be stored in results memory 23 for future use. Typically, the results are tested against some expected value or range of values.
The virtual serial port hardware that is described herein is actually software that appears as a regular serial port device driver to the software higher up on the protocol stack, but actually does not talk to any hardware. A regular serial port driver supports functions like read( ) and write( ). The function write( ) sends bits out over the actual hardware serial line, and read( ) gets bits from a buffer that stores the bits that come in over serial line. In the "virtual serial port" hardware driver, the write( ) function, rather than sending data out over the serial line, actually writes the data into the same buffer that its read( ) function will get data from. In essence, the client ends up reading the same bits that it wrote out, which it accomplished by linking both functions to the same buffer. It is as if a wire connected the read and write lines of the serial port together, except it is done in software rather than hardware.
Although the present invention and its advantages have been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Moreover, the scope of the present application is not intended to be limited to the particular embodiments of the process, machine, manufacture, composition of matter, means, methods and steps described in the specification. As one of ordinary skill in the art will readily appreciate from the disclosure of the present invention, processes, machines, manufacture, compositions of matter, means, methods, or steps, presently existing or later to be developed that perform substantially the same function or achieve substantially the same result as the corresponding embodiments described herein may be utilized according to the present invention. Accordingly, the appended claims are intended to include within their scope such processes, machines, manufacture, compositions of matter, means, methods, or steps.

To turn this story around, Design for Change was born out of the conviction that children are not helpless. The natural youthful optimism they feel; that change is possible and the belief that they can drive it, should be cultivated rather than discouraged.
The word magic takes me down memory lane, watching magic shows as a child was a roller coaster of delight, curiosity, wonderment, surprise and intrigue -- all rolled into one. For me, magic is a personal experience to cherish and the kid in me was overjoyed to observe its cross over to the professional side -- thanks to Steve Jobs.

25 year old man | San Diego, CA, USA | Seeking women 22-25 within 50 miles
Not home but returning soon. Love to use the time to get to know someone before meeting up.
My name is Edward, originally from Oklahoma but was stationed in San Diego after I joined the Marine Corps in 2010. I moved to San Diego in January of 2012. Love the beach and staying active. I am looking for someone who believes that family is important. I don't know where I would be without mine. They have always been there for me and I hold them close to my heart. I have a 2 year old daughter who lives with her mother in Oklahoma. She is the most important thing I have in my life, so I need someone who will accept and respect her for what she means to me, and tries to be the friend that I know she'd want, nothing more. Honesty and communication are the biggest things to me. I don't care about what you have done or do, as long as you're straight forward and honest with me. I love movies and try to go to the movie theatre as much as I can. Nothing beats going to the movies. I do like going out with friends but am a guy who wouldn't mind staying in and spending time alone together.
Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Playing sports , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Watching sports
Basketball, Football, Golf, Running, Soccer, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Dogs
I don't have any pets, but I love dogs. I am allergic to cats, but I don't mind them at all
I'm not too big into the bar scene, although I will go out to the Gaslamp every once and a while with friends. Mission Beach is the place where you'll find me on the weekends in the summer. I like going to the movies, sporting events, and concerts.
I really enjoy about any genre of movie. I listen to pretty much every kind of music; country, rock, rap, randb, alternative rock. My favorite band is A Day to Remember. Love How I Met Your Mother, and nothing beats my mom's cooking.
Love going to the moviest. I go to as many live events that I can go to; concerts, sporting events, shows, plays, you name it and I'll give it a shot. I work out 4-5 times a week and stay pretty active. The beach is one of my favorite spots to go to.
I'm not too big into reading, I try but can't get deep enough interests into a book to finish.

Post Hurricane Sandy: Architects Face Increased Legal Risks
By Kaomi Goetz
Originally published on Mon August 19, 2013 5:52 am
It's been nearly 10 months since Superstorm Sandy hit the Northeast — and coastal communities are still trying to rebuild. Many homeowners are turning to building professionals to reduce the risk of future floods. But in doing so, architects and designers may be exposing themselves to legal risk.

Business, Innovation & IP Counsel
United States - Last active: 04/12/2013
I am a business and innovation counsel with in-house expertise in assessing business needs to provide legal advice that achieves the desired business outcome. I have a full service law firm, No Other IP, that provides Patent (Utility and Design), Trademark, Copyright, IP Agreement, Contract Negotiations and IP Protection Strategy with a Global Business Outlook. I am a registered patent attorney licensed to practice law in DC, MD, VA and before the United States Supreme Court. No Other IP provides to level the negotiations playing field. Many smaller companies do not have the budget or volume of work to justify hiring in-house patent counsel. We provide "outside" in-house counsel for small to mid-sized companies giving them the same legal advantage and expertise that larger companies can afford, but at a fraction of the cost. Highlights of my experience include: o Innovation Counsel for The Coca-Cola Company o Intellectual Property & Business Transactions Counsel for Rhodia Inc. o CEO of No Other Council, providing strategic business development consulting

Riad Dar One is absolutely incredible. Jean and his crew bend over backwards to make sure that you are accommodated and happy throughout your stay in Marrakesh. Whenever we were unsure or hesitant about getting to a specific location, one of the staff would escort us. I had an idea of what we wanted to do before we arrived in Marrakesh, and Jean was able to arrange for some amazing experiences- a private tour with an official guide, a full day hike in the Atlas Mountains, a cooking class and a session at the best spa in Marrakesh. I will say that preparation is key and so much of what we did could not have been arranged last minute, so ask early! I can't wait to return.

i have a script that produces dynamic links for swf files....
eg the script will produce
Click File
when they click the link it opens the swf file in a lightbox so i cannot use php, as its client side
i can change script so that it will add
onClick="javascript: FUNCTION;"
how would i word a javascript function to write to a file in base directory named
'click-log.txt' with href of link and timestamp...
lets say the link clicked has the url
i would like the logfile written as
1329849120 , 82.**.***.*** , /data/swf/file1.swf
i presume its easier to write the full file path, but i would be happy with just the filename, or even the full url, if it is easiest....
i have coded this to work with php on page load many times, but cannot write javascript to do this action.....
thanks guys

[[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
This year the NBA has flipped the script on Summer League trying to add value to the games and the experience for the players as well as the teams. There will be a formal Championship Game after each team competes in at least five "regular season" games with a single elimination playoffs following.
The Phoenix Suns will be one of 22 teams in Las Vegas for the ninth annual Summer League in the Sin City. They are one of four teams to have competed in every Summer League since its inception in Las Vegas.
Last year the team finished 2-3 in Summer League losing to the D-League Select Team along the way. Kendall Marshall, Markieff Morris, P.J. Tucker, and Diante Garrett all participated last summer making the NBA roster after quality individual showings. There will be some change this year however with Dan Majerle no longer with the team after coaching the team last year in this event. They will need a new coach, but will likely send the same faces back to continue their development. Having said that, the team could benefit from sending more of the roster up there to develop this summer.
With three picks in the up-coming NBA Draft having a spot in the Summer League this summer is very beneficial for the team to get their young players on the court for competitive basketball before training camp.
The games will be broadcast on NBA TV and played at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas and at the Cox Pavilion. Games will be played from July 12-22 with the Championship being held on Monday, July 22nd.
Summer League is a great opportunity for prospects as well as another venue for teams to evaluate the professional potential of an individual player as made evident by Tucker this past year. He developed into one of the better defensive wings in the league last year, but easily could have been back in Europe if he did not participate in summer hoops affair.
Ryan McDonough was first made aware of Jeff Hornacek's potential nine years ago when Danny Ainge was looking for a new coach in 2004. McDonough had just recently joined the organization when Hornacek was contacted without even having spent a minute on the sidelines as a coach in any capacity.
Hornacek said Ainge called him out of the blue in 2004, promising that he was one of three finalists (though Hornacek was a backup plan to their #1 choice). But after a night of tossing and turning, Horny decided he wasn't interested quite yet. He wanted to wait until all of his kids were out of high school at the least.
Since then, Hornacek entered coaching while McDonough kept tabs from afar.
"I had [Jeff] in the back of my mind the whole time that he was the guy we might want," McDonough told me today. "But I didn't know him personally, so I kind of slotted him in the middle. I wanted to meet a few guys before him and get to know them and then have a few guys lined up after him."
I've got to tell you - hearing McDonough speak with candor and conviction, in that baritone voice, leaves you certain he just told you the honest truth. I like this guy in charge of the Suns.
"But he came in and did so well," McDonough continued, "That I said, okay, there's interest here from other teams. He was interviewing for other jobs. As you know there are a number of other head coaching openings around the league. He went to another interview right after he met with us and did very well there from what we heard."
It's interesting to note that when Hornacek was offered the Suns position there were seven, going on eight, coaching openings in the NBA.
Within two days of Hornacek accepting the Suns offer, three of those remaining seven positions are now filled. Hornacek had interviewed with Charlotte, who hired someone else yesterday and with at least Philadelphia if not others.
McDonough learned from Danny Ainge to be "unafraid". So he went after Hornacek before losing him.
"I said okay, if this is our guy we're not going to drag our feet," McDonough said. "It was really so obvious, to be honest with you, once we met with him."
Earlier in the open press conference, McDonough outlined
Ainge's Hornacek's qualifications.
"The real reason Jeff is here as our new head coach is all the career path that he just walked you through. Growing up he was the son of coach. Johnny Orr raved about his ability. He called him a leader and a coach on the floor. And that was at 22 years old. Going back in my past when I was with the Celtics in 2004 we had a coaching opening. We had reached out to Jeff when he'd never been an assistant coach, and that was nine years ago."
But McDonough isn't denying the local draw of having Hornacek on the bench.
"His ties to the community and this organization are a bonus but more of it was his playing experience, growing up the son of a coach, being an assistant coach, being current with NBA players, being able to teach the game," McDonough told us in his deep baritone voice. "So even though there were a number of other good candidates still available or tied up on playoff teams, let's not wait and run the risk of losing this guy."
President of Basketball Operations Lon Babby and new General Manager Ryan McDonough step onto the podium to introduce the franchises next head coach in Jeff Hornacek. All three said their piece with candid stories, a few laughs, and babies crying.

PRLog - April 2, 2014 - Wake Up Now (WUN) is a company that launched in 2009 with a unique concept in mind. The idea was to create a central location called the HUB where you could find anything and everything you needed it for yourself. From groceries coupons, shoes, travel, electronics and even energy drinks, software and more. The HUB is your one stop for all your needs. The concept is simple to understand, you signup for a fee and get access to the HUB plus savings and cashback deals on thousands of items. The business model is very similar to companies like Costco and Sam's Club where members muy pay a fee to be able to shop at discounted prices and enjoy additional benefits.
wake up now
This is how Wake Up Now operates except they have attached a business to it. The compensation plan is designed to help anyone reach a monthly residual income by simply introducing new people to Wake Up Now. The more people in your team the more money you are able to make. Of course the results of each person vary on many different factors but in the end hard and work and dedication is the only 2 factors you should keep in mind.
The Bring 3, Get 3, Help 3 Concept
Wake Up Now offers a unique compensation plan model where if you decide to become an affiliate you could build a $600 monthly income by bringing 3 people and now your $100 fee which is the monthly fee is waived completely. As you help your 3 referrals get their 3 you'll now be at the F3 level which pays a monthly residual commussion of $600. This is how the concept works and the income potential is truly unlimited.
This is not including car bonuses, vacations and additional bonuses as your team grows. Currently WakeUpNow has a A rating in the Better Business Bureau and is a pending member of the DSA.
To learn more about WUN in details please visit the link below for more information:
