INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM CONFIGURED FOR AUTHENTICATION OF MEMORY EXPANSION CAPABILITIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17875665 titled 'INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM CONFIGURED FOR AUTHENTICATION OF MEMORY EXPANSION CAPABILITIES

Simplified Explanation

An information handling system includes a processor and a memory module. The memory module can operate with a base set of functions and can be configured to operate with an expanded set of functions. The memory module has a data storage location to store expansion capability certificates that specify subsets of the expanded set of functions to enable. The processor creates an expansion capability certificate that includes unique identifiers of the information handling system and the memory module, as well as a subset of the expanded set of functions. The processor provides this expansion capability certificate to the memory module. The memory module receives the expansion capability certificate, stores it in the data storage location, and enables the subset of the expanded set of functions in response to storing the certificate.

  • The patent describes a memory module that can be configured to operate with an expanded set of functions.
  • The memory module includes a data storage location to store expansion capability certificates.
  • The processor creates an expansion capability certificate that includes unique identifiers and a subset of functions.
  • The memory module receives and stores the expansion capability certificate.
  • The memory module enables the subset of functions specified in the certificate.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Information handling systems that require flexible and configurable memory modules.
  • Systems where different subsets of functions need to be enabled based on specific requirements or user preferences.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a way to easily configure memory modules to operate with different sets of functions.
  • Enables customization and flexibility in information handling systems without the need for physical hardware changes.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Allows for efficient use of memory modules by enabling only the necessary functions.
  • Simplifies the process of configuring and customizing information handling systems.
  • Reduces the need for multiple memory modules with different sets of functions.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information handling system includes a processor and a memory module. The memory module operates with a base set of functions and is configurable to operate with an expanded set of functions. The memory module includes a data storage location to store expansion capability certificates that specify subsets of the expanded set of functions to enable. The processor creates an expansion capability certificate that includes a first unique identifier of the information handling system, a second unique identifier of the memory module, and a subset of the expanded set of functions, and provides the expansion capability certificate to the memory module. The memory module receives the first expansion capability certificate, stores the expansion capability certificate to the data storage location, and enables the subset of the expanded set of functions in response to storing the expansion capability certificate.
