Publication number: 20240029499Abstract: Game spaces are configured for best computer functioning. A game space is defined by hardware, software, and network(s). Each game space in a home or business is characterized for gaming performance capabilities. Individual devices, peripherals (such wireless gaming controllers, steering wheels, and joysticks), and even networks are also characterized for gaming performance capabilities. Cloud-based services then determine hardware, software, and network configurations that, when combined as a best game space, yield the best computer functioning for computer gaming. The cloud-based services may even auto-install or auto-execute the configurations that yield the best computer functioning for computer gaming.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2022Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Uboho Victor, Tyler R. Cox, Marc R. Hammons

Patent number: 11663297Abstract: A computerized method to store aggregate information handling system interaction telemetry data representing levels of operational activity reported for a user of an information handling system in a monitoring system data repository memory device and for receiving aggregate information handling system interaction telemetry data for a plurality of other users crowd-sourced from a population of information handling systems accessed by a plurality of other users. An interaction signature platform may apply a supervised learning model algorithm to the aggregate information handling system interaction telemetry data for the user in comparison to the aggregate information handling system interaction telemetry data for the plurality of other users to determine at least one indirect identifier of the interaction telemetry data.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2016Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Dell Products, LPInventors: Anantha K. Boyapalle, Michael S. Gatson, Marc R. Hammons, Danilo O. Tan, Nikhil M. Vichare

Patent number: 11628353Abstract: A game controller has first and second controllers detachably coupled to a bridge or an information handling system housing to provide inputs to a gaming application executing on the information handling system, such as from a joystick input device integrated in each controller. Logic stored in non-transitory memory of the information handling system executes to track game controllers based upon unique identifiers retrieved from each controller to the information handling system, such as through a direct coupling of the controllers to the information handling system or indirect communication by the information handling system with a bridge directly coupled to the controllers. The information handling system sets priority for inputs from game controllers based upon controller unique identifiers and also tracks composite game controller assemblies that include controllers and a bridge.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2021Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Yagiz C. Yildiz, Philip M. Seibert, Gerald R. Pelissier, Marc R. Hammons

Patent number: 11599834Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for configuring and offering upgrade capability to information handling systems. A deep learning or machine learning model (DL/ML) model is trained to optimize a particular configuration and use cases for an information handling system and provides various levels of upgrades for the use cases. Levels are identified as base or upgrade and mapped to a licensing layer that enables or disables use of performance levels based on weights that enable base output level classes and disable upgrade output level classes. An offer to upgrade is made as to upgrade levels upon a determination of probabilities of performance output level classes.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2019Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Nikhil Vichare, Tyler R. Cox, Marc R. Hammons, Spencer G. Bull
