  • Patent number: 11914725
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a virtual interface configured to provide communication between an agent and an embedded controller, wherein the virtual interface is located below a kernel space of the information handling system. The agent may be configured to transmit telemetry data published by the embedded controller to a data repository, wherein the agent is located at a user space of the information handling system. The embedded controller publishes telemetry data to the data repository via the virtual interface through the agent.

  • Patent number: 11467849
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented to utilize information from existing OS initialization mechanisms on an information handling system to determine characteristic/s of OS usage, and to record and store these determined characteristic/s as metadata on nonvolatile storage for later retrieval. In one embodiment, the determined characteristics for every given OS boot may be so recorded with information that identifies whether each given OS boot was from a manufacturer or vendor-supplied OEM OS image or from an aftermarket OS image.
