Methods and systems for providing a wireless security service and/or a wireless technical support service for a personal computer. The personal computer comprises a control unit for processing information conveyed by signals transmitted over a wireless network and received by a wireless interface of the personal computer. By processing this information, the control unit may: send at least one command for execution by a power management controller of the personal computer such that, upon executing the at least one command, the power management controller changes a power state of the personal computer (e.g., powers off the personal computer and prevents the personal computer from being powered on, or powers on the personal computer); cause booting software to become corrupted; cause various technical support operations (diagnostics and/or maintenance operations) to be performed on the personal computer; and/or cause the wireless interface to transmit over the wireless network information regarding a boot sequence of the personal computer.

La présente invention concerne des procédés et des systèmes pour fournir un service de sécurité sans fil et/ou un service de support technique sans fil pour un ordinateur personnel. L'ordinateur personnel comprend une unité de commande pour traiter des informations acheminées par des signaux transmis sur un réseau sans fil et reçus par une interface sans fil de l'ordinateur personnel. En traitant ces informations, l'unité de commande peut : envoyer au moins une commande devant être exécutée par un contrôleur de gestion d'alimentation de l'ordinateur personnel de sorte que, lors de l'exécution de la ou des commandes, le contrôleur de gestion d'alimentation change un état d'alimentation de l'ordinateur personnel (par exemple, éteint l'ordinateur personnel et empêche l'ordinateur personnel d'être allumé ou allume l'ordinateur personnel) ; provoquer la corruption du logiciel d'initialisation ; provoquer l'exécution de différentes opérations de support technique (opérations de diagnostic et/ou d'entretien) sur l'ordinateur personnel ; et/ou inciter l'interface sans fil à transmettre sur le réseau sans fil des informations concernant une séquence d'initialisation de l'ordinateur personnel.
