  • Publication number: 20250036484
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that may implement at least one instance of a synchronized scheduler logic to synchronize process tasks for a process (e.g., such as an application) executing on a host programmable integrated circuit (e.g., host CPU) of an information handling system in order to minimize the number of wake up cycles of the process and the host programmable integrated circuit from a relatively lower power Modern Standby state to a relatively higher power state. The synchronized scheduler logic may synchronize multiple process tasks of a given process by rescheduling occurrence of at least one of these multiple process tasks such that the multiple process tasks occur within a common window of time (task window), thus reducing the number of wake up (trigger) times for the given process and the host programmable integrated circuit.

  • Publication number: 20250028577
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented to utilize a centralized common notification manager logic that is locally on an information handling system to display on-screen notifications (such as pop-up notifications) to one or more current system users from multiple different operating system (OS) services, and/or to receive system user input via these displayed on-screen notifications, without use of any network communication between the notification manager logic and the respective user application space/s of the current system user/s that execute on the information handling system. The disclosed systems and methods may be so implemented without requiring each OS service to have its own dedicated separate and different interface and/or process that is executing in the logged-in user's application space.

  • Patent number: 11989584
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, one or more methods, and/or one or more processes may receive, by a parent process of a child process, first information indicating that the child process ceased executing; determine, by an analyzer of the parent process, a reason that the child process ceased executing; determine, by the parent process, a first numerical weight associated with the reason; determine, by the parent process, that the first numerical weight is above a threshold numerical value; restart, by the parent process, execution of the child process; determine, by a loss function, a second numerical weight associated with the reason; receive, by the parent process, second information indicating that the child process has ceased executing; determine, by the analyzer, the reason that the child process ceased executing; and determine, by the parent process, that the second numerical weight is not above the threshold numerical value.

  • Publication number: 20240126620
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically filtering privileged methods from unprivileged methods, and thus preventing privileged methods from being available to an unelevated consumer application executing on an information handling system. Filtering privileged methods from unprivileged methods may be performed, for example, by identifying any unprivileged method/s within an original implementation class of an elevated publisher software application that are eligible to be exposed to (e.g., shared with) an unelevated consumer software application via a named pipe, and implementing a corresponding dynamic publisher object on the elevated publisher software application and an intermediary dynamic consumer proxy class on the unelevated consumer software application to prevent the unelevated consumer software application from calling any other methods (e.g.

  • Patent number: 11797320
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented to manage screen sharing of local system windows from a local information handling system to other remote information handling systems by a screen sharing application. In one example, the disclosed systems and methods may be implemented to allow selected local system window/s to continue to remain visible to a local user on the local display screen of a local information handling system that is executing a screen sharing application, while at the same time blocking or otherwise preventing the selected local system window/s from being shared by the screen sharing application across a network with other remote information handling systems, e.g., that are participating with the local information handling system in a common web conference session.
