20110063994 | Secure And Rapid Networking Configuration Of Information Handling Systems And Peripherals - A near field communication device, such as an RFID wand, transmits network configuration information to non-volatile memory of a networking device while the networking device is powered down, and even packaged at a retail store. The networking device powers up, reads the network configuration information, and applies the network configuration to automatically interface the networking device with a wireless network. | 03-17-2011 |
20110283276 | System and Method for Automated Information Handling System Network Device Discovery and Support - Extended network plug and play functionality is provided for a first network device with a proxy located at a second network device. The proxy advertises a profile for the first network device and responds to a query of the profile by a third network device. The proxy provides an install package for the first network device to the third network device that the third network device applies to interact with the first network device through the network. In one embodiment, the proxy automatically detects network devices that are not plug and play compliant and retrieves the profile for the non-compliant network device using an identifier retrieved from the non-compliant device, such as a MAC address. | 11-17-2011 |
20110289350 | Restoration of an Image Backup Using Information on Other Information Handling Systems - A backup and restoration process which first attempts to recover information blocks from locally connected information handling systems executing a backup/restore service before looking to the slower access cloud store to recover data blocks. | 11-24-2011 |
20120098921 | AUDIO CUES FOR MULTI-PARTY VIDEOCONFERENCING ON AN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM - Stereo audio cues are provided at an information handling system to associate audio with its source based upon the characteristics of the image of the source as presented at a display of the information handling system. For example, in one embodiment, a location on a display of a window having a videoconferencing participant is used to create a stereo audio location that correlates audio associated with the participant to the window location. In another embodiment, the size on a display of a window having a videoconferencing participant is used to determine the volume of audio that is associated with the participant. | 04-26-2012 |
20120274724 | White Balance Adjustment Of An Image At An Information Handling System - Videoconferencing images captured by a video camera in suboptimal lighting conditions are enhanced by analyzing light associated with a portion of the video camera field of view and applying that analysis for white balance of the entire field of view. For example, the face or silhouette of a videoconference participant is detected within the camera field of view so that light within a perimeter of the face or silhouette is analyzed to determine a white balance correction for application to the entire field of view. To reduce the impact of the white balance correction factor based upon the area within a silhouette participant, the image outside the perimeter may be subdued, such as with blurring or dimming. | 11-01-2012 |
20130067524 | VIDEO TRANSMISSION WITH ENHANCED AREA - A video transmission method includes receiving a selected area from an input device. The selected area includes a first portion of a video image received from a video device. The video image includes a second portion, at least some of which is not included in the selected area. The first portion of the video image is transmitted at a first resolution over a network for display. The second portion of the video image is transmitted at a second resolution over the network for display. The second resolution is lower than the first resolution, which allows the system and method to utilize available transmission bandwidth to transmit the video image with the first portion, which may be a portion of interest in the video image, at a higher quality than the second portion, which may be a portion in the video image of less interest than the first portion. | 03-14-2013 |
20130182061 | Video Conference Touch Blur - A system for providing video conference touch blur. More specifically, in certain embodiments, a video conference touch blur operation is performed by actuating (e.g., via touch or via a mouse operation) a video conference screen image to blur areas that are not to be transmitted in high definition. | 07-18-2013 |
20130190041 | Smartphone Speakerphone Mode With Beam Steering Isolation - A smartphone selectively supports a telephone call in a handset mode or a speakerphone mode by enabling or disabling microphones and speakers integrated in the smartphone. In the speakerphone mode, plural microphones determine a direction of a participant of a speakerphone telephone call so that audio of the speakerphone telephone call from plural speakers of the smartphone is beam steered towards the participant. | 07-25-2013 |
20140108588 | System and Method for Migration of Digital Assets Leveraging Data Protection - In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system may include a storage medium and a processor. The storage medium may be configured to store data comprising backup data associated with a source system. The processor may be configured to migrate the data from the storage medium to a target system. The processor may further be configured to during migration of the data from the storage medium to the target system, receive additional data comprising additional backup data associated with the source system and store the additional data to the storage medium. The processor may also be configured to migrate the additional data to the target system. | 04-17-2014 |
20140207902 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OUT-OF-BAND MANAGEMENT OF AN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM - Instructions embodied in a basic input/output system may cause a processor to, when read and executed by the processor communicate a query via a network interface to an intermediate information handling system to determine if digital assets intended for the information handling system were previously communicated from a management server to the intermediate information handling system and in response to a determination that digital assets intended for the information handling system were previously communicated from a management server to the intermediate information handling system, receive the digital assets at the information handling system from the intermediate information handling system. | 07-24-2014 |
