SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FLEXIBLE STARTUP OF DATA PROCESSING SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17873364 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FLEXIBLE STARTUP OF DATA PROCESSING SYSTEMS

Simplified Explanation

Methods and systems for managing the operation of data processing systems are disclosed.

  • The patent application describes a data processing system that includes a computing device capable of entering different operating states through various types of startups.
  • The startups may involve the use of code bases that the computing device may not inherently be able to validate.
  • To mitigate the risk of using these code bases, the computing device performs processes to validate them before using them.
  • During the startups, the computing device may limit the types of interfaces that can be established, while still allowing other types of interfaces to be established to provide startup flexibility.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be applied in various data processing systems, such as servers, cloud computing platforms, and embedded systems.
  • It can be used in software development and deployment processes to ensure the validation of code bases before they are used in production environments.
  • This technology can enhance the security and reliability of data processing systems by validating code bases and limiting interface types during startups.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The technology addresses the risk of using code bases that cannot be inherently validated by providing a process for validating them before use.
  • It mitigates potential security vulnerabilities and system failures that may arise from using unvalidated code bases.
  • By limiting the types of interfaces during startups, the technology helps prevent unauthorized access and potential exploitation of the system.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved security and reliability of data processing systems by validating code bases before use.
  • Reduced risk of system failures and security vulnerabilities caused by unvalidated code bases.
  • Enhanced flexibility during startups by allowing certain types of interfaces to be established while limiting others.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and systems for managing the operation of data processing systems are disclosed. A data processing system may include a computing device that may enter various operating states by performing various types of startups. The startups may include use of code bases for which the computing device may not inherently be able to validate. To reduce risk of using the code bases, the computing device may perform processes to validate the code bases prior to using the code bases. Additionally, the computing devices may limit the types of interfaces that may be established during the startups while allowing other types of interfaces to be established to provide startup flexibility.
