Bude DualCor žalovat HTC kvůli Shiftu?
Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2007 8:32
Výrobce UMPC DualCor (informovali jsme o něm například zde) si nechal patentovat zařízení, které obsahuje dva procesory a pracuje se dvěma operačními systémy.
A novel personal electronic device includes a processor having first (embedded) and second (non-embedded) processors including associated operating systems and functions. In one aspect, the first processor performs relatively limited functions, while the second processor performs relatively broader functions under control of the first processor. Often the second processor requires more power than the first processor and is selectively operated by the first processor to minimize overall power consumption. Protocols for functions to be performed by the second processor may be provided directly to the second processor and processed by the second processor. In another aspect, a display controller is designed to interface with both processors. In another aspect, the operating systems work with one another. In another aspect, the first processor employs a thermal control program. Advantages of the invention include a broad array of functions performed by a relatively small personal electronics device.

HTC Shift
Stejnými možnostmi, které si výrobce DualCoru nechal patentovat, však disponuje i nedávno představené UMPC HTC Shift. Server MSmobiles.com informoval, že je možné, že výrobce DualCoru podá na HTC žalobu, i když je možné, že se obě společnosti vyrovnají mimosoudně a najdou přijatelné řešení, které by vyhovovalo oběma stranám.
