Patent number: 11080143Abstract: Systems and processes for backing up data files and recovering data files are described. A computing device connected to a network may backup data files for one or more additional computing devices connected to the network. In some cases, the computing devices connected to the network may be ranked according to a fitness of each respective computing device to backup data files. Additionally, data files of computing devices connected to a network may be prioritized to indicate a level of relative importance to backup each respective data file. Based on the rankings of the computing devices and the prioritization of the data files, particular data files may be associated with a corresponding computing device that is designated to store backup copies of the data files.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2019Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Danilo O.

Patent number: 10826991Abstract: Systems and methods are described to transfer content from a first computing device to a second computing that is not directly accessible from the first computing device. The transfer may be carried out using an application operating on the first computing device that uploads the content to the cloud storage service. The second computing device may operate an application that monitors the cloud storage service for recently uploaded content. When the second computing device detects that content has been uploaded to the cloud storage service, the second computing device may download the content. The second computing device may update a manifest file located on the cloud storage service to indicate that the content was downloaded. Subsequently, the first computing device may access the manifest file and determine that content was downloaded.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2019Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Dell Products L.

Patent number: 10810297Abstract: Pre-boot authentication at an information handling system is selectively bypassed based upon conditions detected at the information handling system that indicate a trusted environment. A security monitor integrated with the pre-boot authentication system detects predetermined conditions that authorize bypassing of the pre-boot authentication, such as location, behavior or password type indications of a trusted environment. In one embodiment, a password is input with touches to match a timing and position passcode, such as by mimicking a musical rhythm.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2017Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Mohit Arora, Fernando L.

Patent number: 10148749Abstract: A local connection and sharing system includes a first local IHS that includes a plurality of communication systems, and a second local IHS that includes at least one communication system. The first local IHS receives communication capabilities of the second local IHS using one of its communication systems and uses those communication capabilities to select a first communication system to provide a peer-to-peer connection with the second local IHS. The first local IHS then provides the second local IHS access through the peer-to-peer connection to a first data storage area that is coupled to the first IHS. The first local IHS then performs at least one of (1) sending data that is stored in the first data storage area through the peer-to-peer connection to the second local IHS, and (2) storing data that is received through the peer-to-peer connection from the second local IHS in the first data storage area.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2014Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Liam B.
