  • Patent number: 11789820
    Abstract: A system and method for preventing a hang up after initiation of a watch dog time out in a computer system. A start-up routine is run via a basic input output system (BIOS). The routine applies settings for hardware components. It is determined if a watch dog timer triggered a restart from timing out when the start-up routine ran previously. The system checks a database storing settings for each of the plurality of hardware components for a proper setting for the hardware components if the watch dog timer triggered the restart. The system applies the settings from the database for the hardware components to avoid another hang up.

  • Patent number: 11579705
    Abstract: An example computing device includes a photodetector to measure an amount of light incident on a detection surface of the photodetector. The example computing device includes a state sensor to activate the photodetector responsive to the computing device being in a detection state. The example computing device also includes a processor. An example processor identifies, during the detection state, a user gesture based on an output of the photodetector. The user gesture blocks light incident on the detection surface of the photodetector. The example processor also alters an operation of the computing device based on the user gesture.

  • Patent number: 10541868
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for enabling an administrator or a controller to update BIOS setup options on a server system and then automatically update the BIOS setup options on other server systems in a baseboard management controller (BMC) virtual local area network (VLAN). For example, the method may comprise: receiving, at a specific controller of a node, a command to update the BIOS setup option; determining whether the specific controller is a master by checking an internal flag of the specific controller; in an event that the specific controller is neither a master or a slave, broadcasting a master request to the VLAN; determining whether a reply is received within a predetermined time period; in an event that the reply is not received, setting the internal flag of the specific controller as a master; and sending an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) completion response.
