摘要： Aspects of direct to systems and methods for controlling LEDs by a backplane or enclosure management controller. A controller has multiple output ports, including M ports connecting to M row control lines and N ports connecting to N column control lines. At least (M*N) LEDs respectively connected to the M row control lines and N column control lines to form a virtual LED matrix. In operation, the controller monitors N storage drives of the system, and determines at least M states for each storage drive. Based on the M states for each storage drive, the controller determines a state of each LED being ON or OFF, and outputs control signals to the at least M row control lines and the at least N column control lines through the output ports based on the state of each LED, such that the LEDs display the states of the storage drives.

摘要： An intelligent virtual desktop infrastructure (iVDI) system is described. The system includes a first storage module having a processor, in communication with a hypervisor, and implemented by a volatile memory. The first storage module supplies a plurality of virtual machine operating systems (VMOSs) to the hypervisor. The hypervisor runs virtual machine (VMs) corresponding to the VMOSs. The systems also includes a VMOS management module configured to execute a first determination operation to determine if a usage of the first storage module has reached a preset storage limit. If yes, the VMOS management module selectively (a) initiate a deduplication operation directed to the plurality of VMOSs stored in the first storage module and (b) initiate a removal operation including removing at least one of the VMOSs from the first storage module and/or turning off at least one of the VMs running on the hypervisor.

摘要： In certain aspects, a system for out-of-band configuring BIOS setting data (BIOSSD) includes a host computer and a service processor (SP). The SP stores a BIOSSD collection and a human interface data (HID) collection. The HID collection includes questions for data of the BIOSSD collection and corresponding options for each question. When a remote management computer sends to the SP an information request, the SP retrieves the HID collection and transmits the questions and the corresponding options to the remote management computer. In response to a command indicating a selected corresponding option, the SP changes corresponding data of the BIOSSD collection according to the command. When the BIOS executed at the host computer issues a BIOSSD update request to the SP, the SP transmits a copy of the BIOSSD collection to the BIOS chip of the host computer to replace the BIOSSD collection stored in the BIOS chip.

摘要： Methods and computer-readable media provide for the creation of basic input/output system (BIOS) components. Embodiments include a component creation wizard that guides a user through the component creation process. The component creation wizard utilizes a project template file that includes templates of the required files for any given component, organized into a folder-based file structure. The component creation wizard searches the folders within the project template file according to project type, component categories, and template categories, as determined by a user, to locate and copy the applicable template files to create a BIOS component template.

摘要： Technologies are described herein for remote management of sensors and other functionalities in a digital signage device through a remote management server. In particular, a Digital Signage Control System (“DSCS”) facilitates delivery of sensor command parameters to particular signage devices or a network of signage devices as specified in a Sensor Command Deployment Plan. After receiving various sensor commands from a user at a user interface, a Sensor Command Deployment Module generates a Sensor Command Deployment Plan (“SCDP”), which specifies which sensors or controls should be adjusted on signage device(s) and when the adjustments should be made. Subsequently, a Signage Communication Module (“SCM”) waits for a request for sensor instructions from a signage device specified in the plan. Once the request is received, the SCM deploys specific instructions or commands (parameters) to a particular signage device wherein the command is executed at the signage device.

摘要： Certain aspects direct to a three-dimensional display device, which includes a display module defining a plurality of pixels, a barrier module, a sensing module, and a controller. For a viewer of the display module, the barrier module allows the viewer to perceives light emitted from the display module to form left-eye and right-eye views to form a three-dimensional virtual image. The sensing module generates sensing signals in response to detecting an object. The controller is configured to generate display signals for the display module to control the pixels, receive the sensing signals from the sensing module, and generate an object coordinate according to the sensing signals. In response to a display instruction, the controller controls the display module to display a three-dimensional virtual input device. In response to the object coordinate matching coordinates of an input region of the three-dimensional virtual input device, the controller generates an input command.

摘要： Certain aspects direct to a baseboard management controller (BMC), which is capable of reducing write cycles and increasing longevity of its non-volatile memory. The non-volatile memory of the BMC has a file system mounted thereon. The file system defines a configuration directory storing configuration data in a binary format and migration data. In booting, the firmware of the BMC compares its version information to the version information of the configuration data. If the version information matches, the BMC uses the configuration data as is. If the version information does not match, the firmware retrieves and uses the migration data to convert the first configuration data to an initialization (INI) file in a text-based format, and then converts the generated INI file back to the binary format to update the configuration data in the configuration directory. Finally, the firmware updates the migration data in the configuration directory for future migration use.
