SOC-AGNOSTIC TUNING FOR PERIPHERAL DOCK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240338326 titled 'SOC-AGNOSTIC TUNING FOR PERIPHERAL DOCK

The abstract of the patent application describes an information handling system that includes a processor and an interface for peripherals to be connected. The processor stores configuration settings for the peripherals, communicates with them based on these settings, and can restore settings in case of a critical event without rebooting the system.

  • The information handling system includes at least one processor.
  • An interface allows peripherals to be connected to the processor.
  • Configuration settings for each peripheral are stored in a data structure.
  • The processor communicates with peripherals based on these settings.
  • In case of a critical event causing loss of communication, settings can be restored without rebooting.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various industries where reliable communication with peripherals is crucial, such as manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation. - It can also be applied in data centers to ensure continuous operation of servers and storage devices.

Problems Solved: - Ensures uninterrupted communication with peripherals by quickly restoring configuration settings. - Eliminates the need for system reboots, reducing downtime and improving overall system reliability.

Benefits: - Improved system reliability and uptime. - Quick recovery from critical events without disrupting operations. - Simplified management of peripheral configurations.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing System Reliability with Peripherals Configuration Technology" This technology can be marketed to companies that rely on seamless communication with peripherals, such as industrial automation firms, healthcare facilities, and IT service providers. It can provide a competitive edge by offering a more reliable and efficient information handling system.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology compare to traditional methods of restoring peripheral configurations? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this technology in a data center environment?


Original Abstract Submitted

an information handling system may include at least one processor; and an interface via which one or more peripherals are configured to be communicatively coupled to the at least one processor; wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute instructions for: storing a data structure that includes data indicative of configuration settings for each of the one or more peripherals; communicating with the one or more peripherals according to the configuration settings of the data structure; and in response to an occurrence of a critical event that causes a loss of communication with the one or more peripherals, restoring the configuration settings based on the data structure without a reboot of the information handling system.
