Apple vs. HTC

Apple又告HTC了，這一次的系爭專利是：US6,282,646及US7,380,116，均是與即時調整顯示組態的系統有關的技術。
Apple於2010.6.21.向德拉華州地方法院提起訴訟，指控宏達電侵犯了其4項專利，其中CPU省電管理與螢幕解鎖2件專利在3月就已提告，只是中途又撤回，改寫提告內容後這次一併提出，所以本次增加的是2件在不需關機就可拔出SIM卡或SD卡，熱插拔（Hot Plug-in）的專利。

Apple於2010.3.2.在德拉瓦州聯邦法院控告HTC侵害其10項與人機介面、電源管理相關的專利，同時向ITC控告HTC侵害其10項與作業系統核心相關的專利。

Title:System for real-time adaptation to changes in display configuration
Filing date:1998.5.8.
Issue date:2001.8.28.
Abstract:
A hot-plugging capability for video devices is achieved by shifting the responsibility for recognizing changes in the configuration of a display environment from a computer's operating system to a device manager. When an input/output device is added to or removed from the computer system, an interrupt signal informs a device manager of the fact that a change in configuration has occurred. In response thereto, the device manager determines whether the changed component relates to the computer's display function. If so, the device manager makes a call to the computer's display manager, to inform it of the fact that the display configuration has changed. In response to this call, the display manager reconfigures the display space for the computer system and notifies clients as appropriate, to accommodate display features associated with the added component. With this change in the configuration of the display space, the added component becomes immediately available for use.
