  • Publication number: 20240029499
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11663297
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11628353
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11599834
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11269750
    Abstract: A method and information handling system configured to store, via a monitoring system data repository memory device, aggregate information handling system performance telemetry data crowd-sourced from a population of information handling systems and categorized into mapping classifications based on software application inventory and software application associations with drivers and libraries and to execute instructions, via an application processor, of an information handling system diagnostic platform in an intelligent configuration management system to obtain aggregate information handling system performance telemetry data for a performance characteristic of information handling systems having a first mapping classification corresponding to a client information handling system, and to construct, at the management information handling system, a performance characteristic baseline of operation across the aggregated telemetry data for one mapping classification and receive monitored telemetry data for the per
