SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR ACCESSING A DEVICE OPERATING SYSTEM OVER AN INTERCONNECT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18513490 titled 'SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR ACCESSING A DEVICE OPERATING SYSTEM OVER AN INTERCONNECT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for communicating with a device by utilizing an operating system and an interconnect with multiple functions.

• Running an operating system on a device.
• Communicating with the device using a first function of an interconnect.
• Communicating with the operating system using a second function of the interconnect.
• The operating system includes communication logic.
• Communicating with the communication logic within the operating system.
• The communication logic includes one or more terminal support drivers.
• Communicating with the terminal support drivers using a terminal application running on a host.
• The second function of the interconnect is configured to work with a controller.
• Communicating with the operating system based on privilege information.
• The host is a management controller.
• Controlling a program on the operating system using the second function of the interconnect.

Potential Applications

• Device communication systems
• Operating system management tools
• Terminal support driver technology

Problems Solved

• Efficient communication between devices and operating systems
• Simplified control of programs on operating systems
• Enhanced privilege-based communication

Benefits

• Improved device management
• Streamlined communication processes
• Enhanced security and control features

Original Abstract Submitted

A method for communicating with a device may include running, at a device, an operating system, communicating, using a first function of an interconnect, with the device, and communicating, using a second function of the interconnect, with the operating system. The operating system may include communication logic, and the communicating with the operating may include communicating with the communication logic. The communication logic may one or more terminal support drivers, and the communicating with the communication logic may include communicating with the one or more terminal support drivers using a terminal application. The terminal application may run on a host. The second function of the interconnect may be configured to operate with a controller. The communicating with the operating system may include communicating with the operating system based on a privilege information. The host may be a management controller. The method may further include controlling, using the second function of the interconnect, a program on the operating system.
