HARDWARE-TYPE-BASED MULTI-COMPONENT PERSONALITY CONFIGURATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17968955 titled 'HARDWARE-TYPE-BASED MULTI-COMPONENT PERSONALITY CONFIGURATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for configuring the personality of computing devices based on the hardware components they contain.
- The system includes two component stocks with different hardware types.
- The system identifies computing device orders and determines which hardware type components are needed for each order.
- The system then configures the hardware components to operate according to the personality configuration for each component.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in the manufacturing and customization of computing devices, such as laptops, desktops, and servers.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently configuring the personality of computing devices based on their hardware components.
Benefits
The system allows for streamlined and automated configuration of computing devices, reducing manual labor and potential errors in the process.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Hardware-Based Multi-Component Personality Configuration System for Computing Devices" could be used in the computer hardware industry for mass customization of devices.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be systems that configure software settings based on hardware components, but not specifically tailored to personality configurations.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does the system handle updates or changes to personality configurations after the initial configuration? 2. Are there any limitations to the types of personality configurations that can be applied to computing devices using this system?
Original Abstract Submitted
A hardware-type-based multi-component personality configuration system includes a first component stock including first hardware type components having a first hardware type, a second component stock including second hardware type components having a second hardware type that is different than the first hardware type, and a component configuration system. The component configuration system identifies computing device order(s) for computing device(s) that include a plurality of components, and determines that a respective personality configuration in the computing device order(s) for each of a first subset of the plurality components included in the computing device(s) may be provided by the first hardware type components. The component configuration system then instructs the provisioning of the first hardware type components in the computing device(s), and configures each of the first hardware type components to operate according to the respective personality configuration for each of the first subset of the plurality components.
